At some point in the careers of most big-name music acts, they endeavor a bizarre period of rumors that they’ve joined the mysterious secret society.

Some think Rihanna, Kanye West, and Madonna could be in The Illuminati, for instance. Others have even been accused of making a human sacrifice or selling their soul to the devil for their success. For Doja Cat, instead of ignoring the whispers, she’s leaned into them hard, so much so that people are now asking: Is Doja Cat a S.a.t.anist?

Doja shaved her head, her eyebrows, wore horns, and it doesn’t seem like she’s any closer to losing her shock value. But, as entertaining as it can be, there’s some serious concern that Doja’s weirdness is not all that meets the eye.

Most of us had that super curious phase when we went down the Illuminati rabbit hole and it seems that the newest version of satanic panic is starring none other than Doja Cat herself. After The Shade Room posted then deleted photos of Doja dressed as the devil, it only seems right that we unpack the situation and uncover the truth about Doja Cat’s involvement with the Illuminati!

At the beginning of May, the rapper shared that while visiting New York City for the Met Gala 2023, she dropped by the famous Bang Bang Tattoo studio. The result was a full-width anatomical bat piece on her back. Fans flooded the rapper’s comment section, deeming the work demonic. To that, she replied, “Your fear is not my problem,” as she provided a breakdown of the inspiration behind the art.

Forever a troll at heart, Doja poked fun at the outrage by dressing as a horned character during her YouTube Brandcast 2023 performance later that month. Her then album’s title, Hell Mouth, which has since been renamed to Scarlet, surely didn’t help claim the fan-inflicted hysteria.

Doja debuted a tattoo of a mythological figure, and she was quickly accused of being a S.a.t.anist. When the negative comments continued to roll in, Doja clarified what the image was all about, sharing that it was actually part of Fortunio Liceti’s 1665 edition of De Monstris.

On August 4, Doja followed the project’s lead single, “Attention,” with “Paint The Town Red.” In the official video for the record, Doja is featured alongside the Grim Reaper. She even appears in full black body paint, blackout pupils, and horns. Doja then repeated the look with a few minor adjustments on her upcoming single’s “Demons” cover art. But paired with her new scythe tattoo behind her ear, fans believe she’s fully embraced the dark side.

Doja remains unbothered by the criticism, writing on her Instagram Stories, “Y’all so b*tchmade you probably couldn’t make it through an episode of ‘Goosebumps”

In 2018, Doja Cat spoke with The Fader, about her upbringing practicing Hinduism. Overall, Doja hasn’t confirmed or denied if she’s a card-carrying member of the Church Of S.a.tan, but she is having fun stringing users online along.
