14 Doja Cat Facts You Have to Know

If you haven’t heard of Doja Cat, we’re about to bless you with some valuable knowledge nuggets on one of the most gorgeous and talented female musicians of our era. This rapper and songwriter is like the future mixed with the early 2000s – she’s a vision to look at, with lyrics that slice. Her name is Doja, and she’s an icon in more than one right. Here are the top Doja Cat facts to familiarize yourself with now.

1. Her real name is more of a tongue twister than a stage one – her real name is Amalaratna Zandile Dlamini. She is South African (on her dad’s side) and Jewish American (on her mom’s side). Outside of this colorful heritage, she was born in Tarzana, California.

2. She is 24 years old, and her birthday is 21 October 1995, which makes her a Libra. Suddenly everything makes more sense…

3. The biracial artist got her music taste for hip hop from her Jewish mom, who was mostly a single parent in Amala’s life. She introduced Doja to artists like Erykah Badu, D’angelo and the Fugees.

4. A lot of people know her by her very hilarious viral hit called “Mooo!” On Youtube, which she created in less than a day. What’s the story behind the song, many want to know? She says it was inspired by a cow printed tour outfit. When inspiration strikes, you gotta write! Many people discovered Doja just from this song.

5. Her love life is kind of mysterious, but she dated Johnny Utah, who looks like the real-life Archie Andrews. After they started dating in 2019, things fizzled down and we discovered they broke up in Feb 202 thanks to an Instagram Live post courtesy of Doja. Things ended amicably, which we’re glad to hear.
