Doja Cat voiced support for Madonna on TikTok, saying she is 'tickled' by critics who feel threatened by an older woman continuing her career. She questioned why anyone would tell a musician who performs as her job to stop. The rapper highlighted the personal motivations behind such attacks.
Doja Cat addressed online trolls targeting Madonna's age in a recent TikTok video. She expressed being 'tickled and bothered' by comments deeming the pop icon too old for the stage. 'You’re telling a musician who makes music, who performs it as a job, to stop doing it?' Doja Cat asked, puzzled by the criticism. She wondered if the backlash stems from Madonna feeling sexy as an older woman who excels at her profession indefinitely. Doja Cat suggested that detractors might be dealing with personal issues unknown to others. 'Is that why you’re upset?' she queried, before laughing and mockingly pretending to cry. She ended by saying she would join Madonna's haters in tears, underscoring the absurdity. Madonna has long faced public scrutiny. In a 2019 interview, she reflected on media attacks, including false HIV rumors, stating, 'People like to pick on me. I don’t take it as personally as I used to.' She recently returned to Warner Records and is preparing 'Confessions On A Dance Floor Part 2' with producer Stuart Price, set for release this year.
