Doja Cat Addresses Fans Who Think Her New Cover Art Is a Pubic Hair Photo
On Friday (March 29), Doja Cat shared on her Instagram page an image of the cover art for her new single, “Masc,” from her upcoming new album. The artwork features a close-up image of her natural hair. While the cover art looks innocent enough, the image sparked a debate among fans who incorrectly assumed the artwork was a pubic hair photo. Other people thought it was a photo of sheep’s fur.
On Saturday (March 30), Doja jumped on Instagram Live and criticized fans who thought that she’s posted a photo of her pubic hair for the single’s cover art.
“I’m seeing a consistent pattern in my comment section of people saying is it my…pubic hair? Is it carpet? Is it’s sheep’s wool?” Doja said in the video below.
“It’s not even questions, some people are being like, ‘That’s what it is,'” she continued. “People are comparing my hair to sheep and pubes and popcorn and s**t like that. We gotta move forward. Let’s move forward. Let’s grow.” Let’s stop.”
“Pubic hair, really? That’s where we stand?!” she added.

Doja said the image is of her tight curl pattern, known as 4C hair.
“My hair is 4C hair, which a lot of you don’t care, that’s fine. But comparing 4C hair to…ugh, pubic hair? Really?”
