Doja Cat has reacted to the backlash of a selfie she took in which an alleged Neo-Nazi featured on her shirt. In conversation with Ebro Darden for a new interview with Apple Music, the rapper replied to a question about “the T-shirt incident,” referring to a photo she uploaded to her Instagram page back in October.
On her shirt was a picture of Sam Hyde, a comedian who appeared on an Adult Swim sketch show. The show was cancelled after one season in 2016 after Buzzfeed reported that Adult Swim claimed to have found numerous allegedly racist remarks in the show, including alleged swastikas.
Originally, the musician, Doja Cat, removed the photograph. However, in the interview, she further argues: “You can’t know everything.” She went on to describe the person on her shirt as “somebody who I thought was funny.” Doja’s claimed that her thinking was “more just, funny guy on T-shirt, wore it that day.”
“It didn’t affect the world in a way where we have to look behind our backs,” she said. “Me saying that right now, I’m gonna get a lot of responses of people saying ‘yes it did, it’s going to change everything.'” Doja Cat also admitted that “I’m way too fucking famous – 100%”, suggesting she was “doing whatever I can, slowly but surely, to separate myself from this narrative, or whatever this world is that I built – I’m fine-tuning it and tailoring it to what I want out of it.”
