Doja Catis getting candid about the “Attention” she’s been getting for her looks.
The “Kiss Me More” singer, 27 — who isno stranger to switching up her lookwith different wigs or even shaving her head — discussed pushing style boundaries in the public eye in a new interview withHarper’s Bazaar.
“My theory is that if someone has never met me in real life, then, subconsciously, I’m not real to them,” she told the outlet.
“So when people become engaged with someone they don’t even know on the internet, they kind of take ownership over that person,” she continued. “They think that person belongs to them in some sense. And when that person changes drastically, there is a shock response that is almost uncontrollable.”

“…I’ve accepted that that’s what happens. So I put my wigs on and take them off,” she explained to the outlet. “I shave my head or my eyebrows. I have all the freedom in the world.”

“I won a grammy and traveled the f—king globe i’ve had a No. 1 and i went platinum,” she said ina tweet. “I make hit after hit after hit and you all want me to look f-—able for you … Go f—yourselves.”
In November, she furtherraved about her bold new lookinDazedmagazine’s Winter 2022 The Beautiful Issue and said her new hairstyle had helped her with her confidence.
“I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life, which is very strange,” Doja Cat told the outlet in hercover story, despite jokingly comparing her close-shaved head to a “wrinkly penis” at first glance.
“There’s something so exhilarating about change; [it] showed me a different side of myself,” she added. “I feel so new, fresh and sexy. I also feel better without make-up: having this bare head and so little make-up is a fun experience. It’s new, and I love it.”
