Rapper and singer Doja Cat issued a statement after #DojaCatIsOverParty trended on Twitter in response to her resurfaced 2015 song which used a slur mocking victims of police brutality and examples of her appearing in racist chatrooms.
issued a statement on Sunday night, addressing a resurfaced 2015 song with an offensive title. She also defended herself after receiving backlash for associating with alt-right internet users, saying she never personally took part in "any racist conversations."
"I want to address what’s been happening on Twitter,” she wrote. "I’ve used public chat rooms to socialize since I was a child. I shouldn’t have been on some of those chat room sites, but I personally have never been involved in any racist conversations. I’m sorry to everyone I offended." "I’m a black woman. Half of my family is black from South Africa and I’m very proud of where I come from," she continued. "As for the old song that’s resurfaced, it was in no way tied to anything outside of my own personal experience. It was written in response to people who often used that term to hurt me. I made an attempt to flip its meaning, but recognize that it was a bad decision to use the term in my music.
