Doja Cat Opens Up About Cocaine Use, Struggling With Alcohol & Dealing With Self-Hate Issues: ‘You’re Not Indestructible’
The star brought her signature candor to TikTok on Aug. 31.
Doja Cat has discussed her struggles with cocaine use and self-hate on TikTok. The Grammy-winning artist admitted to cocaine use, which she believes was around eight years ago during her Amala era. She also revealed that she struggled with alcohol, but didn't consider herself an alcoholic. Mixing alcohol with negative thoughts and bringing that to the internet wasn't a healthy choice, Doja said.
She emphasized the importance of staying creative and taking care of oneself, stating that one is not indestructible. Doja addressed allegations of self-hate, confirming they were true, and revealed she had hated herself since she was eight years old, likely due to moving to a predominantly white neighborhood. She decided to be open about her issues to combat negative rumors and because she believes it's an important topic that doesn't get discussed enough. Doja Cat will begin her North American Tour Ma Vie world tour on Oct. 1 in Detroit.
