Doja Cat Claps Back at 'Crazy' Fan Over Controversial Viral Encounter

SCANDAL ROCKS THE MUSIC INDUSTRY: DOJA CAT VS HER "FAN"

In a jaw-dropping turn of events, Doja Cat is sparking a heated debate on social media after accusing a fan of touching her without permission during a recent encounter outside an event. The incident has gone viral on TikTok, leaving fans and experts alike wondering what really went down.

The drama started when fan Pablo Tamayo posted a video of himself excitedly interacting with the singer outside a venue. In the clip, he's seen taking off his shirt and handing it to her, while also hugging her and placing his hands on her shoulders as they chat. The caption read: "When Doja Cat likes your shirt, you give her your shirt" and "Love you @dojacat."

However, things took a dark turn when Doja Cat addressed the incident in a since-deleted tweet on X (formerly Twitter). She wrote: "Bottom line is I'll smile at you but it doesn't mean I fu– w you and don't touch me and man handle me when you don't even fu–in know me. Iykyk." The singer went on to explain that she was trying to be polite, but the fan's behavior made her uncomfortable.

In a series of follow-up posts, Doja Cat elaborated on the incident, stating: "I honestly think I need to stand up for myself in the moment sometimes. And he didn't even know my fu–in name to be touching me and kissing me on my face like that is crazy." When asked why she seemed to enjoy the interaction at first, Doja replied: "I was very drunk idk what to tell you."

The controversy has left fans divided. Some are calling out Doja Cat for being too sensitive, while others are praising her for standing up for herself.

"I don't think nothing what she is feeling is wrong at all," one fan wrote. "She was just playing it cool on camera and knowing how ppl switch stories." Another added: "I think it's such a big misunderstanding, she's very valid for feeling violated and he thought it was all good vibes and his intentions seem pure fan love."

However, others are coming to Doja Cat's defense, saying that the fan crossed a boundary by touching her without permission.

"I would be embarrassed if my favorite artist talked sh** about me on social media," one fan wrote. "She has every right to set boundaries and speak up for herself."

Pablo Tamayo, the fan in question, has since responded to the backlash with a follow-up TikTok addressing the controversy. He claims that Doja Cat asked for his shirt after learning it was from his new Pride collection, and that she seemed to be enjoying their interaction.

"I just wanna clear this up because it hurts," Pablo said. "I love her... I just think it's crazy because she's the one at this event that's being so nice." He added: "Now, she's on Twitter saying she 'threw that musty shirt away,' that I didn't know her name, that I manhandled her. I understand, guys, if I was being too nice or whatever."

But what really sparked outrage is Pablo's cheeky move to capitalize on the controversy by selling a t-shirt with the phrase "Musty ass shirt" printed on it. He promoted the new merch in a TikTok captioned: "She wants to promote her album, I'll promote my clothes." One fan chimed in after the shirt went up for sale: "It's getting even more messy."

TheScholarlyNote.com has reached out to representatives of Doja Cat for comment, but so far, no response has been received.

In a shocking twist, this whole drama might just be the catalyst for Doja Cat's next album release. With fans and experts alike weighing in on social media, it's clear that this controversy is not going away anytime soon.

UPDATE: Pablo Tamayo has since claimed that he would have never wanted to make Doja Cat uncomfortable and apologized if he did anything wrong. However, the damage is already done, and the two are now at odds over what really went down outside that event venue. Stay tuned for more updates on this juicy scandal!
