After years of facing accusations of devil worship, Doja Cat is finally speaking out against the ongoing rumors.
The “Demons” artist sat down with Angie Martinez on the Angie Martinez IRL podcast earlier this month, where she addressed claims that she’s a Satanist.
Around the 36-minute mark, Martinez asked Doja if she wanted to clear up the misconception.
“I think about it a lot, really. I think about it almost every day,” the “Gorgeous” singer admitted. “Every time. Every pinpoint of when that’s happened to me throughout my career. It’s happened a lot. And I think it’s not for me to prove to people who cannot or don’t wish to listen. It’s the harsh reality, but I’d like to stay there.”
Doja went on to say that she doesn’t dwell on the negativity because there are “so many other great things” happening in her life, and she prefers to pour her energy into creativity rather than rumination.
When it comes to faith, Doja said she believes in a “higher power.”
“I believe that there’s something going on. I don’t know what, and I don’t want to question it,” said Doja, who attended an ashram as a child. “I don’t follow any formula of any sort of traditional thing.”
She also mentioned that she still celebrates Christmas, though “in a non-traditional sense.”
“It also does a massive good for me to believe that there is something bigger than myself, ’cause that’s where you get lost,” Doja said.
The Vie artist described her connection to faith as a “lifelong process” and opened up about her past struggles with drinking.
“Those two things are in the same park for me, because it’s like, if I don’t believe that there’s something bigger, then I’m always going to fall to here,” she explained.
Back in 2023, Doja also pushed back against claims that her “Paint the Town Red” music video was satanic, calling the speculation “tacky and annoying” during an Apple Music interview with Ebro Darden.
“You interpret it how you want to interpret it. Everybody has the right to interpret it how they want,” she said at the time. “But this whole very confident satanism thing is like, ‘I’m sorry, when the fuck did I say that I was a satanist?’ When did I ever say anything?”
