After being plagued with devil-worshipping rumors for years, Doja Cat is pushing back on the controversy.
The "Demons" artist stopped by podcast Angie Martinez IRL earlier this month, where she addressed the rumors that she's a Satanist.
Around the 36-minute mark of the video below, host Angie Martinez asked Doja about the misconception that she worships the devil and whether she wants to clear up the rumor.
"I think about it a lot really. I think about it almost every day," the "Gorgeous" artist said. "Every time. Every pinpoint of when that's happened to me down my career. It's happened a lot. And I think it's not for me to prove to people who cannot or don't wish to listen. It's the harsh reality, but I'd like to stay there."
Doja added that there's "so many other great things" happening in her life that she doesn't resort to "ruminating," instead choosing to use her creative energy.
On her religious beliefs, Doja shared that she believes in a "higher power."
"I believe that there's something going on. I don't know what and I don't want to question it," said Doja, who went to an ashram as a child. "I don't follow any formula of any sort of traditional thing."
The rapper-singer added that she celebrates Christmas, albeit in a "non-traditional sense."
"It also does a massive good for me to believe that there is something bigger than myself, 'cause that's where you get lost," Doja continued.
The Vie artist explained that her relationship to faith has been a "lifelong process" and detailed her past issues with drinking.
"Those two things are in the same park for me, because it's like, if I don't believe that there's something bigger then I'm always going to fall to here," she said.
In 2023, Doja denied that her music video for "Paint the Town Red" was satanic, calling the chatter "tacky and annoying" in an Apple Music interview with Ebro Darden.
"You interpret it how you want to interpret it. Everybody has the right to interpret it how they want," she said at the time. "But this whole very confident satanism thing is like, 'I'm sorry, when the fuck did I say that I was a satanist?' When did I ever say anything?"
