Why Doja Cat's AMA Win Was So Controversial

April 2024 ยท 1 minute read

People were really confused as to why Doja Cat would be nominated in the soul/R&B category at the American Music Awards in the first place, with many implying that she'd fit better in another category, like pop/rock.

As one very annoyed fan wrote on Twitter, "Doja Cat won an AMA for a Soul/R&B category. Y'all really just giving away awards to anybody. Whitney is rolling over in her grave." One other viewer wrote on Twitter, "Doja Cat....R&B Soul....these award shows are getting super disrespectful and outta pocket. That's all i'ma say on that." Another Twitter user agreed, adding, "Idk who needs to hear this... but Doja Cat is not a Soul/R&B Artist."

For her part, Doja Cat didn't seem to register any of the bad vibes coming her way. The singer later performed with Bebe Rexha, and her performance got some good reviews on Twitter. "BEBE REXHA AND DOJA CAT ATE THAT PERFORMANCE," one fan wrote, further proving that the tides of approval are always in flux.
