        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been a bittersweet month for Doja Cat.</p><p>The rapper, 24, landed her first Billboard No. 1 hit only to be accused days later of participating in allegedly racist internet chat rooms, prompting the Twitter hashtags #DojaCatIsOverParty and #DojaCatIsCanceled.</p><p>The viral footage shows Doja — real name Amalaratna Zandile Dlamini — taking part in chat rooms via video chatting platform Tinychat. The &#8220;Say So&#8221; singer <strong>can be heard making sexually suggestive comments</strong> to men believed to be members of the alt-right incel (involuntarily celibate) community. The biracial artist is also heard calling someone the N-word — in her own words &#8220;with a hard R&#8221; — in front of the group.</p><p>Doja has since addressed allegations that she participates in &#8220;White supremacists chatrooms,&#8221; claiming that while racists may enter the chat from time-to-time, they&#8217;re usually kicked off. She also denied personally taking part in &#8220;any racist conversations.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;I want to address what’s been happening on Twitter,” she <strong>wrote Monday</strong> in an apology. &#8220;I’ve used public chat rooms to socialize since I was a child. I shouldn’t have been on some of those chat room sites, but I personally have never been involved in any racist conversations. I’m sorry to everyone I offended.</p><p>&#8220;I’m a black woman. Half of my family is black from South Africa and I’m very proud of where I come from.&#8221;</p><p>But her mea culpa wasn&#8217;t fully accepted by the masses, many of whom took issue with the &#8220;Tia Tamera&#8221; singer touting her South African heritage after using a racial slur that would undoubtedly offend her own family.</p><p>She followed up the apology Tuesday with a more detailed explanation on <strong>Instagram Live</strong>, denying once again that she participates in racist chatrooms. She also understands why many fans believe she may have an issue with self-hatred as a black woman, admitting that she often feels insecure about her natural hair.</p><p><span class="embed-youtube" ><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jXL2Qboetuc?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent" frameborder="0" width="600" height="315"></iframe></span></p><p>As for her use of a racial slur, she claimed she was intoxicated. &#8220;Yes, this is me 100% f&#8211;king excusing my dumbass behavior. I&#8217;m dumb, but I&#8217;m also drunk &#8230; in this video, I&#8217;m being completely f&#8211;king blackout drunk and completely f&#8211;king dumb &#8230; this is where I&#8217;m saying &#8216;shut the f&#8211;k up, you,&#8217; and then I say — with a hard R — the N-word.&#8221;</p><p>Just before blaming it on the alcohol, the Los Angeles native also addressed leaked song &#8220;Dindu Nuffin,&#8221; a phrase often used to mock victims of police brutality. Many believe it was a direct reference to <strong>Sandra Bland.</strong></p><p>&#8220;It was in no way tied to anything outside of my own personal experience. It was written in response to people who often used that term to hurt me. I made an attempt to flip its meaning, but recognize that it was a bad decision to use the term in my music.&#8221;</p><p>Doja is the latest entertainer to be abandoned by much of her fanbase, but we&#8217;ve also seen <strong>Camila Cabello</strong>, Cardi B, Kanye West and several other &#8220;canceled&#8221; celebs come back stronger than ever thanks to support from the very crowd who once shamed their behavior.</p>]]></content:encoded>
