Doja shared that the constant surveillance by the paps makes her upset. However, she has found a unique way to stop it. Paint the Town Red singer stated that she has found a creative way to solve the issue. Doja added that she sometimes tries to look ugly in public. She was quoted as saying:

"It makes me so upset. Will I go up to somebody and be like, 'Stop f---ing filming me,' and cuss them out? No, I’m not going to do that. I don’t want to do that. I think I would rather do it in a creative way. Sometimes I try to look purposefully ugly. I turn it into a game."

Doja Cat opens up about her need for privacy

During the same conversation, Doja Cat opened up about her need for privacy. In the same interview, the popular rapper and singer revealed that when she was a teenager, she was an agoraphobic and couldn’t leave her house. Doja mentioned that she still likes being alone sometimes. She highlighted that during this solitude phase, she rests and recharges herself. She also called herself a 'hermit.' She was quoted as saying:

"I was agoraphobic, fully. I couldn’t leave my house. Staying alone is like restimulating my creative bone. I am a hermit. When I’m home, I’m just home with my cat."

When Doja Cat explained that people misinterpreted her urge to stay private

In a 2023 interaction with Ebro Darden, Doja Cat shared her desire for privacy and navigating through fame and success. She explained that often, people misinterpret her urge to stay private. She mentioned that there have been speculations that she hates her fans, but it’s not true. She was quoted as saying:

"One thing that I do want to set straight is that you’ll never see a direct quote of me saying, 'I hate my fans,' Not once. But it’s a really big misquoted thing where everybody is saying she hates her fans. It’s definitely something, and I know that people who get it, get it, and I’m fine with that. I’m doing what I can slowly but surely to separate myself from this narrative or whatever this world is that I built. I’m fine tuning it and tailoring it to what I want out of it."
