Doja Cat’s upcoming album Vie has sparked a notable debate over its cover art. Ahead of the record's September 26 release, the Grammy-winning artist shared the official record artwork. It featured her suspended in a parachute caught in a tree. Doja was wearing a wedding-style gown.
Some fans praised the symbolism, while others mocked its design. The criticism made Doja share a response. She stated:
"You can't make me feel bad for a cover that has visceral meaning. The greatest armor is love and integrity. I forgive your harsh criticism but for me I won yet again for following my heart. If I was you I wouldn't."
One fan reacted to her statement, saying:
"I think it's interesting that Doja frames criticism as something she can forgive, but not something she will absorb. Makes me wonder when does art stop being about the audience and become fully about the artist?"
Internet reacts as Doja Cat responds to backlash over her 'Vie' album cover
Pop Base took to its official X (formerly Twitter) page to share that,
"Doja Cat responds to criticism over the official ‘Vie’ album cover: “You can’t make me feel bad for a cover that has visceral meaning. The greatest armor is love and integrity. I forgive your harsh criticism but for me I won yet again for following my heart. If I was you I wouldn’t.”"
Fans were notably quick to weigh in on the comment section of the post as they shared their opinions on Doja Cat's response. Below are some of their reactions:
"i love how she flips hate into free promo every era😭😭", noted a netizen.
"doja cat really said 'your opinion < my vision' and i respect that energy. let artists be unhinged in peace 😈", shared another.
"Doja Cat always knows how to stand her ground, and this response really shows it. The ‘Vie’ album cover clearly has deep meaning for her, and it’s refreshing to see an artist prioritize authenticity and emotion over trying to please everyone. Criticism is inevitable in the public eye, but her focus on love, integrity, and following her heart is inspiring. Honestly, this kind of confidence and self-expression is what makes her stand out not just as a musician, but as someone unapologetically herself", penned a third.
Others also chimed in:
"Ma'am you absolutely killed this album, production, visuals and even the deeper meaning of "Vie"? Absolutely inspirational. I love every chapter of you!!!! I'm inloooooove with this album. Sending you love from 🇿🇦❤️ mama!!! Oooooh they're jealous, baby they're jealous😂💋", hyped a fan.
"Speaking for myself, no one is trying to make you feel bad 💜 It’s just light critique, and of course you don’t have to take it, it’s your project. Personally, I love the message behind it! I just think maybe the colors/filter feel a little off with the 80s vibe we have seen.", commented another.
"People were mad at the roses cover because it looked “boring”. You give us an interesting cover with a lot of deep meaning and people say the cover is distracting 😀. Like when will it be enough you guys?? I thought the roses cover was a parallel to AMALA! Which is why I liked it", opined a third.
