A recent encounter between Doja Cat and a fan has stirred up drama online, with boundaries, personal space, and viral reactions all coming into play. It started when a fan named Pablo Tamayo handed Doja his shirt during a moment captured on video. She accepted it and smiled, but days later, her feelings were made clear in a blunt post on X: “I threw that musty ass shirt away btw.” Since then, Tamayo has turned the moment into merch, launching a tank top that plays off the viral exchange.
Doja’s comments didn’t end there. Responding to backlash, she explained the situation further, saying, “bottom line is i’ll smile at you but it doesn’t mean I f**k w you and don’t touch me and man handle me when you don’t even f**kin know me… he didn’t even know my f**kin name to be touching me and kissing me on my face like that is crazy.” Her message struck a nerve online, with fans debating whether the interaction had crossed a line.
Tamayo wasn’t quiet about the diss. In a clip posted by Complex, he danced to the track “Musty” by Shoreline Mafia, captioning the video, “lol if im musty why’d you say I smell good.” He also used the moment to launch a tongue-in-cheek merch drop—a tank top labeled “Must Ass Shirt.” “She wants to promote her album, I’ll promote my clothes,” he posted.
Commenters had mixed opinions. Some defended Doja’s right to speak up about her boundaries, while others poked fun at Tamayo’s quick pivot into self-promotion.
All this is unfolding as Doja gears up for her next album, Vie. While she hasn’t revealed a release date yet, anticipation is high. The project follows her 2023 album Scarlet, which landed in the top five on the Billboard 200 and featured hit singles like “Paint the Town Red” and “Agora Hills.”
