Doja Cat clashes with fan amid viral uncomfortable interaction
American pop star Doja Cat sparked widespread debate after taking to social media and addressing a recently shared viral video that showcased an uncomfortable interaction with a fan outside an event.
The fan was captured giving Doja Cat his T-shirt after she expressed how much she liked it. They then hugged several times, the fan kissed her on the cheek, and they cheered together. The fan was heard saying in the video, “Imma give this shirt to Doja Cat because she’s the iconic girl… You deserve it, and if you want anything more, I’ve got you.”

Doja later took to X (formerly known as Twitter) in response to the viral video and wrote, “bottom line is i’ll smile at you but it doesn’t mean I fuck w you and don’t touch me and man handle me when you don’t even fuckin know me. iykyk. i honestly think I need to stand up for myself in the moment sometimes. and he didn’t even know my fuckin name to be touching me and kissing me on my face like that is crazy.”
The American star later claimed to a fan in the comments section that she was drunk during the interaction.
The post has been deleted since then. The post sparked mixed reactions on the platform, with several siding with the American star. However, others called it a “stretch,” stating further that she looked happy during the interaction captured on video.
A fan wrote on X, “I don’t think nothing what she is feeling is wrong at all, she was just playing it cool on camera and knowing how ppl switch stories. She sure is a good actor because I thought this was a cute fan moment.”
In contrast, another wrote, “Why she lift up her leg over him then if she didn’t wanna hug.”
In response to her X post, LA-based influencer Pablo Tomayo, who is a fan with 400,000 Instagram followers, took to his official account and declared he’s in his “villain era.”
Additionally, Tomayo also mockingly promoted the shirt on Instagram and wrote, “She wants to promote her album. I’ll promote my shirt.”
He also made a video on TikTok and said, “I just want to clear this up because it hurts because I loved her. I watched her at Coachella. I never claimed to be the biggest fan, but I stan her and I think her work is amazing.”
He added while apologizing, “I would’ve never wanted to make her uncomfortable. I would’ve never filmed if she didn’t say yes. That video that we filmed was after everything,” he continued. “I understand that she has to set her boundaries. She’s a celebrity. I’m not. I will never understand that, so I value that… I appreciate and I get that.”
