The comments about her hair came in response to Doja sharing the artwork — a closeup image of her tight blond curls — for her forthcoming single called “Masc,” which is slated to release on April 5. Born Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, the 28-year-old rapper took to Instagram Live to address the issue after receiving a slew of negative comments comparing her tight curl pattern with various unflattering objects, like a carpet, sheep’s wool, pubic hair, and popcorn.

I’m seeing a consistent pattern in my comments section of people saying is my hair pubic hair, is it carpet, or is it sheep’s wool,” the Paint the Town Red rapper said during her live video. “And it’s not even questions … some people are being like, ‘That’s what it is.’” Her hair has been compared “to sheep and pubes and carpet and popcorn and s–t like that,” she added. “We gotta move forward. Let’s move forward. Let’s grow,” the artist said.
