Usher:
“And Quavo, I hope you don’t mind if I just serenade your lady. I’m just getting alright, you know what I’m saying?”

After releasing ‘Attention’, Doja is doubling down on her sound in a new cover story for V magazine. She stated, “I’ve been making music that’s palatable, marketable and sellable. These upcoming projects are going to be very different. I am excited. I do not care if people are not.”
