Doja Cat Continues Hinting at New Music With Mysterious Video Teases
Doja Cat is keeping fans on their toes with cryptic hints of what could be new music from her next album.
On Saturday (Nov. 30), the superstar rapper shared a series of brief videos on X (formerly Twitter), offering a sneak peek at what appear to be unreleased song snippets.
In the first video, captioned “Let’s about it,” Doja — dressed in all black — appears to open her mouth as if to speak, but the clip cuts off abruptly, leaving fans hanging. The next video, titled “my bad yall,” shows the “Paint the Town Red” rapper seemingly attempting to apologize. “Ok, I’m sorry. I’ve just been like f—ing with you guys this entire time and I feel like it’s rude and I apologize for that. So, I do wanna talk about basically…” she begins, before the video cuts out once again, keeping fans on edge.
In the final, minute-long clip, Doja delivers what fans have been waiting for: she plays and pauses a total of nine unreleased tracks, before ending the video with a mischievous smile.
This isn’t the first time Doja has sparked speculation about a follow-up to 2023’s Scarlet. Earlier this month, the Grammy-winning artist posted and quickly deleted what appeared to be a 13-song track list, highlighting five of her favorites, including songs titled “Cards,” “Acts of Service,” “Make It Up,” “Did I Lie” and “Crack.”
She also shared a since-deleted photo dump on Instagram with the caption “red 5,” which could be a reference to her upcoming fifth studio album. Among the photos was a snap of a new foot tattoo reading “Red” in red ink.
Doja’s most recent album, Scarlet, followed 2021’s chart-topping Planet Her. Scarlet, released in September 2023, reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and No. 2 on the Top Rap Albums chart. She also released the Scarlet 2 CLAUDE deluxe edition in May.
