How do you go from a high school dropout making beats in your bedroom to a global superstar who subverts every rule in the pop handbook? This week on Crash Course Pod, we’re tracing the evolution of Amala Dlamini—better known as Doja Cat.
From the viral, meme-heavy success of "Mooo!" to the chart-topping "Max Martin" precision of Planet Her, Doja Cat has proven she is the ultimate "triple threat." But as her fame grew, so did her desire to tear down the traditional pop-star image. We dive into her controversial "Scarlet" era, her refusal to participate in parasocial fan culture, and the technical skill that makes her one of the most undeniable rappers in the game today.
In this episode, we cover:
The Bedroom Producer: How GarageBand and a SoundCloud upload in 2012 started it all.
Absurdity as a Strategy: Why "Mooo!" was a masterclass in internet marketing.
The Boundary Experiment: A look at the "Kittenz" controversy and what it means to set professional boundaries in the digital age.
The Legacy of the Multi-Hyphenate: Why Doja is the blueprint for the modern, self-made icon.
