Doja Cat has been earning rave reviews for her infectious music and dynamite performances, but she has not lost sight of her own inspirations.
Full story below…
Speaking to Billboard in commemoration of her 2022 Women in Music Powerhouse award, the ‘Woman’ performer heaped praise on her idols – including Nicki Minaj, Beyonce, and the Queen of Pop Janet Jackson.
She said of the titans:
“It’s pretty obvious that I’m in love with everything Nicki Minaj has put out into the world. You have your Janets and your Beyoncés. I look at [other artists’] projects and performances and go, “Wow, I hope one day I get to that point.”
We’d actually love to see Doja team up with all of the ladies mentioned. Imagine the fire each of those collabs would bring?!

Slow news day…
How is this newsworthy?
It’s not.
I immediately lose respect for any female rapper that is up and coming and continues to kiss Nicki’s 🍑. Stop. That bishh doesn’t like you, doesn’t follow you on Instagram, didn’t congratulate you when your album came out, refused to collab on get into it, etc. Stop kissing this granny’s asssss!!!! This is why Cardi will be the last one standing. She’s the only one that doesn’t fall for the mess with Nicki. Idiots
Exactly cardi said f u k that h o e 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She’s NOT kissing Nicki’s a$$, she’s humbling herself seeing how Nicki inspired her. Without Nicki, there wouldn’t be a Mainstream Doja Cat. Her catalog would consist of records like “B*tch I’m a cow” OR “So High”.
The other women mentioned alongside Nicki laid the ground work for Doja Cat. She has something to work w/ while creating her records. However instead of Doja perfecting her craft like Tinashe, she chose microwave success.
Cardi B hasn’t brought anything NEW into Hip-Hop. We always had ratchet female rappers making records about their a$$ & fighting hos. Those type of female rappers are short lived. There is also the lack of notoriety like a Missy Elliot.
She spent the last 15 seconds of “get into it” kissing Nicki’s assss. Just for Nicki to unfollow her and pay her dust.
“Thank you Nicki. I love you Nicki.” 🙄🙄🙄give me a f****** break. The old granny uses these new rappers then throws them away after she’s done. Cardi is the only one who doesn’t play her game and that’s why in ten years, Cardi will be the only one still relevant
Well hun if Nicki is such an a**hole, why continue modeling yourself after her?? She’s enabling Nicki at this point because Nicki has ALWAYS been Nicki.
Nicki has made it well known her loyalty lies w/ her Family. Everyone is collateral. Take it OR leave it.
Everyone else*
Everyone else is collateral? Even alleged victims of assault? ☕️ AlLeGeDlY
I’m referring to all the naysayers & ppl within’ the Industry.
Who is Tinashe anyway? She never had a real career
My point exactly it kills me to see these girls come into the game and feel like they have to kiss Nicki 🍑 to be put on or put in position on the charts don’t get me wrong I’m sure these girls have grew up listening to Nicki in high school and been a fan so I can’t take that away but let’s be real Nicki don’t like no females who is better then her or who she feel is a threat that’s why she picks and choose who to work with and let’s be real Nicki needs these new girls as well to stay relevant
EXACTLY!
Nicki has probably worked w/ more females than Cardi B & Doja combined.
Let’s see if Cardi & Doja will work w/ women who’s been around longer than them OR has multiple Top 10’s because Nicki has work w/ women like this…Ariana Grande, Rihanna, Beyoncé.
Nicki kiss a s s this what Nicki wanted cardi to do
Nicki DGAF about Cardi hun. She is NOT a threat to Nicki or any female rapper who has contributed more to Mainstream Hip-Hop/POP music. Doja didn’t mention Cardi for a reason. Nothing inspiring about her.
As Cardi herself stated…I make women feel like a bad b*tch….while getting work done all over her body, lol
Well cardi hasn’t been around as long as nicki. Cardi is new compared to nicki… but in 10 years from now, trust that the female rappers will shoutout cardi and show lots of love to her.
3 diamond singles and 5 number 1s def inspiring no other female rapper can relate
@DC
Beyoncé has the awards & accolades yet ppl say she’s overrated. There is no way ppl will argue Cardi is Queen while arguing how overrated Beyoncé is.
Exactly. She demands any new female rapper to kiss her 🍑, then once she sons them, she throw em away.
nuff respect.
Doja cat will no longer be called Doug the cat.. She is doja cat..she has also passed Beyonce performance wise..
Delusional. Delusion.. your best lifetime joke we are all laught.
Well your a clown. Laughing is what you do
.but jayz too Beyonce husband likes doja cat too and made that known by being on her social media..liking her pictures .look it up clown.
JANET & DOJA CAT W/ A DANCE POP SINGLE/ALBUM (MY FANTASY) WOULD BE A DREAM COME TRUE
Hi it’s samkelo from south Africa I need donations so that I can start my own business coz I want to open a bottle store in South Africa whatspp number is 0735622366 any donations is accepted
At the end of the day, it was Janet Jackson who opened that door, for Nicki and Beyonce to walk through. And somehow she gets the least amount of credit. She was definitely the first to own her sexuality, her body, and she would let men know it.
At least somebody is praising Micky, everyone except for her and the Barbs know her career has been over for 3 years now. The same girl who failed to paise her idol, and now her career has peaked and washed out, and didn’t even see the prime success ok Kim. Only thing bussin were the ass implants, and her p*** husband at the play ground.
