Doja Cat Claps Back at Tour Complaints After Launching ‘Ma Vie’ Shows

Fans compared the new tour to her 'Scarlet' era, but the rapper shut down critiques about visuals, pacing, and outfit changes.

Doja Cat isn't feeling the criticism from fans about her tour. 

After the “Say So” singer started her “Ma Vie” tour in New Zealand on Tuesday (Nov. 18), fans online began dissecting everything from the staging to the pacing to the lack of outfit changes. Some compared it to her “Scarlet” era, suggesting the show felt too familiar.

One fan wrote that the tour “just gives Scarlet with different outfits,” while another chimed in, hoping the “Jealous Type” singer would be open to feedback. 

She brushed both comments off in one sentence: “I won’t and I don’t need you.”

The critiques kept coming. Someone else questioned how a tour called “Ma Vie,” which means my life in French, could have “no storyline, no visuals, no outfit changes.”

The rapper pushed back, explaining that her focus is the music itself and that she’s not performing a theatrical production: “I’m not a broadway act.”

From there, her responses shifted into firm boundary-setting. She reminded fans that she’s not onstage to fulfill aesthetic demands: she moves at her own speed, she works hard every night, and she’s not performing on command.

 “I’m not your f*cking costume monkey,” she wrote, telling critics to keep their opinions to themselves. “You are not the artist, you are the watcher.”

Another user suggested her lack of “smash hits” was a sign she had gotten too comfortable in her career. The “Gorgeous” singer didn’t tiptoe around it, replying with an insult that left no room for follow-up.
