The Internet Is Divided After Doja Cat Seemingly Urged Music Fandoms To Go Outside And Stop Obsessing Over Streams On The Internet
You know Doja Cat. The Grammy-Award-winning rapper and singer seemingly called out fandoms obsessed with charts and streaming numbers, and it's caused quite a stir on the internet. In all fairness, social media has become a battleground for fandoms of major artists like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, and more. While battling for the title of the better artist, the conversation of who has the highest streams and most chart-topping songs is always a central topic. Matt Winkelmeyer / Getty Images for The Recording Academy, Marleen Moise / Getty Images In a now-deleted X post on May 2, Doja wrote, "the amount of streams on a song isn't indicative of the quality or effort put into it." Taylor Hill / FilmMagic, @DojaCat / The "Kiss Me More" singer said, "If you disagree with this you could be having and episode and should seek love from the outside. Go for a run."

Next, do not punish yourself," she continued. Doja urged people not to "sabotage" themselves but "Rather take it as an opportunity to become an even better version of who you once were. Look at it as the beginning of a fulfilling life." "You deserve an adventure. You deserve to feel the sun on your skin. Don't trade that for being on this app with the blinds drawn. You deserve more," she finished.

The internet was pretty divided in their response to Doja Cat, who basically told everyone to go outside and touch the grass. Here are some of the best responses that weren't highly inappropriate or riddled with mindless negativity: One person responded, "This is the hypocrisy I talk about, when your song bangs and everyone is bragging about the stats online, you never say shit like this to let them know it doesn't matter to you. You saying this when you're flopping is counterintuitive and honestly shameful." Another person said, "Doja keeping it real as always. She's right though—music is about expression and connection, not just numbers. A good reminder to step back and touch some grass." "Unforunatley your fans (Kittens) along with the rest of stan twitter has spent the last 5 years comparing debut spotify streams, daily streams, & global peaks to other female rappers and their respective songs/albums. I agree that sales, numbers and charts are not the end all be all of Popular Music, but you are a mainstream artist & your numbers or lack there of, are always going to be apart of the conversation," another X user wrote. In a lengthy response, another X user wrote, "the amount of words in a tweet isn't indicative of clarity or wisdom. if you think it is, you might be projecting and should consider touching some actual grass. log out. hydrate. ask yourself in silence why your validation depends on downplaying others. next, resist the urge to overtalk. you don't have to be the main character every scroll. sometimes the best version of you is the one who said less. take this as a chance to become someone people don't roll their eyes at. you deserve that peace. you deserve fresh air. you deserve the freedom of not tweeting like a motivational villain. you really do." Finally, this person wrote, "She put everyone in their place without being mean. This is what kindess looks like even when you are trying to prove an important point." Doja did respond to several of the X posts, expressing that she offered her "respect" because some people defended their lifestyle. She expressed to another X user that might be projecting their fear, and she understands but can't hold their anger. I want to hear your thoughts. Who are your favorite artists, and do you think charts and streaming numbers truly matter in regard to their success?

Gwyneth Paltrow And Chris Martin's Daughter, Apple, Addressed Facing Scrutiny As A "Celebrity Child," And She Made A Great Point
Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin 's daughter, Apple, got candid about what it's like facing scrutiny as a kid with famous parents. If you remember, the 20-year-old daughter of Academy Award-winning actor Gwyneth and Grammy-Award-winning singer-songwriter Chris made waves last year after being accused of acting like a "mean girl" at Le Bal des Dēbutantes. When a TikTok surfaced of her debut at the annual debutante ball and fashion event in Paris, it sparked controversy on social media when she stepped in front of a fellow debutante, Countess Aliénor Loppin de Montmort. Now, speaking with Interview Magazine, Apple revealed how she navigated that specific moment in the spotlight and adverse reactions on the internet. "I grew up with that uneven balance of getting out of the airport with my mom and being bombarded with cameras, and then just being a normal kid," Apple told the publication. "I remember I read Discipline and Punish [by Michel Foucault], which is a great book, but talking about the surveillance state," she continued. "I feel like I've grown up with that, which is really scary and makes me very anxious about making mistakes." Apple said she was "discouraged from doing anything in the public eye," reflecting that she thought we didn't "need another celebrity child in the world." "I just try to do what feels right and block out anything regarding me in the news to the best of my ability," Apple added. "And I'm getting a lot better at being like, 'Fuck it.' I'm not going to be scared. I just want to do what seems fun and figure my life out." In the interview, Apple revealed how she once read internet comments after she had done a Chanel fashion show. "I quickly realized why everybody has always said, 'Don't do it.' Because even if you see a million positive things, there can be one thing that absolutely wrecks you." "So, I've stopped now and I avoid it like the plague, because I know myself and I know that if I see stuff that isn't true and that's really upsetting to me, I'm going to be like, 'Oh my god, I should never go out in public again.'" "I've tried to be like, 'People are going to say stuff, and that's okay,'" she continued. "And like everybody, there's going to be stuff that isn't true and stuff that is upsetting, and all I can do is just be the best that I can be and be with the people I love and not read random, crazy conspiracies." Apple makes a great point. Regarding the internet, we should be the best we can be, do what makes us happy, and block out the BS.
