Doja Cat Gives A Post-Op 'Healing' Update To Fans After Breast Reduction & Lipo Surgery
Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, known professionally as Doja Cat, marches to the beat of her own electric guitar. As a rising juggernaut of the glitterati, she isn't someone you can box into any category, which spans from her red carpet or concert looks, all the way to how she communicates with her fans. No subject is considered to be an overshare, not even the honest news of cosmetic surgery.
The Grammy winner confirmed back in November 2022 that she had plans to undergo plastic surgery after the controversy over her sans-surgical body sent social media into a frenzy. “I’m literally about to get surgery this winter lmao,” she tweeted. “I just want my titties pulled up cuz some of my tops don’t fit the way I want them to.” Since, she has taken to social media to inform her fans she’d officially undergone a breast reduction and liposuction, and she has reported back that she’s doing just fine post-op.
She followed it up with how she's healing, saying:
The best part, in the most Doja-esque move of them all, after much speculation, she shut down the rumor mill and revealed that she actually got a breast reduction in lieu of the obviously-assumed enhancement, ultimately backing up what she told VLADTV in 2018, saying,"
There's these boobs out here that are two basketballs, and they don't make sense. They defy gravity; they defy science. It's unexplainable. It's f**king, yeah. I don't get it. I don't get fake boobs."
Although this isn't the "Kiss Me More" singer's first stint with public rest for medical reasons. While she's home healing now, last summer she was in the same predicament for surgery to have her tonsils removed. Doja shared photos from the hospital after having two surgeries on her tonsils, which ended up being the removal of an abscess from her left tonsil.
"My whole throat is f---ed so i might have some bad news for y'all coming soon. I was taking f---in' antibiotics but forgot that i was taking them and then I drank wine and was vaping all day long and then I started getting a nasty-ass growth on my tonsil so they had to do surgery on it today," she revealed.
Where all this leaves us as far as her new music goes is unclear for now as she is tight-lipped, but while we patiently await an update on Doja's fourth studio album, she made it pretty apparent that she's doing some much-desired upgrades in the interim, with a possible break from her career on the horizon.
"I want to finish this tour up, kill it, and see my fans happy. And then, I want to start writing again. I'm going to finish this next album, and then I'm going to get the f*** out for a second. I want to disappear for a little bit and just do things like wear slides and go to the farmers market."
Doja's new project is slated to hit us in the mouth sometime this year, as she has discreetly shared small details through profile edits on social media into what we can expect next. The Planet Her creator told Variety last month that this album will have more "masculine" elements, "I know that I've done a lot of pink and soft things, a lot of pop and glittery sounds, but for this next era, I'm going in a more masculine direction."
A direction we're excited to see as soon as frickin possible. Wishing you a speedy recovery, sis!

UnPrisonedhas returned for its highly anticipated second season, delving deeper into the complex dynamics of the Alexander family.
The series premiere comes a year after its debut season garnered rave reviews from fans and critics and earned record-breaking ratings for Hulu's Onyx Collective brand. UnPrisoned's success can be attributed to its raw, relatable themes and comedic appeal.
Inspired by creator Tracy McMillan's life, the show follows Paige (Kerry Washington), a therapist and single mother whose life takes an unexpected turn when her father, Edwin (Delroy Lindo) --who was released from prison-- moves in with her and her teenage son, Finn (Faly Rakotohavana).
Throughout UnPrisoned's first season, viewers witnessed how Edwin's incarceration deeply affected Paige's life and relationships. In the series, Paige unpacks her trauma through interactions with her inner child and her online followers. Meanwhile, Edwin is overcoming specific struggles with his own past that led to his life of crime, including a dysfunctional upbringing and his mother's arrest. As the Alexanders attempt to reconcile, new challenges arise.
This new season promises to further explore their unconventional family dynamic. Here are several compelling reasons why season two of UnPrisoned should be on everyone's watchlist.
The Alexander Family Life Is Still In Shambles
UnPrisoned's second season resumes where the series left off, with Paige grappling with the fallout from her troubled therapy practice and Edwin navigating life independently after moving out. Meanwhile, Finn faces his own challenges. The teenager is battling anxiety and seeking information about his father—a topic Paige avoids discussing.
The Alexander Family Are Attending Therapy To Resolve Their Underlying Issues
Amid the chaos in their lives, the Alexander family decides to mend their bond by confronting their past traumas. They seek professional help and attend therapy sessions with a “family radical healing coach,” played by John Stamos, a new cast member. This collective effort aims to unravel the complexities of their shared history and strengthen their relationships.
The process of unraveling each character's internal conflicts and their potential impact on future relationships may clash with Paige's textbook therapy approach. While Paige is used to being in the therapist's seat in both career and family, this forces her into the unfamiliar role of a patient during therapy sessions. This shift would compel her to look in the mirror and try a radically different approach.
The Alexander Family Learned A Big Lesson During A Therapy Session
In therapy, the Alexanders are tasked with addressing their individual traumas to salvage their remaining relationships. One of the family therapist’s eccentric suggestions was an exercise involving a family wrestling match. During this session, Paige faces tough questions about her refusal to share information about Finn's father.
While it's unclear whether this scene is reality or fantasy, the image of the family duking it out in the ring certainly makes for hilarious yet compelling television.
Paige Tries Dating Again Following Failed Relationships
Amid her life's chaos, Paige decides to step back into the dating field. However, her many attempts have left her with mixed results. The dating apps have turned out to be a fail, and an outing with her ex Mal (Marque Richardson), who is also her father's parole officer, doesn’t go quite as expected after he brings an unexpected guest – his new girlfriend.
The situation takes an awkward turn when Mal's new partner learns why the former couple split, partly due to Paige's self-sabotage.
UnPrisoned Is A Perfect Balance Of Comedy And Drama
As a dramedy, UnPrisoned takes a comedic approach to its heavy subjects. The show takes us on a ride with Paige's dating misadventures and navigating a friendship with her ex.
Other lighthearted moments include Edwin's attempts at CPR based on online videos and, of course, the antics of the Alexander family's unconventional new healing coach.
The second season of UnPrisoned is now available on Hulu.

Tubi has been gaining popularity due to its free sign-up and a vast selection of series and films. According to Deadline, the FAST (free ad-streaming television) service has seen a 14.7% growth from May and now has similar numbers to Disney+. So while many people have joked about Tubi having low-budget movies, the numbers don't lie.
In fact, I was one of those people who didn't get the appeal of Tubi, but the more I watched it, the more I enjoyed the content. They have some of our favorite TV series, such as Scandal and Star, as well as big films like the Fast and Furious franchise and cult classic Love & Basketball.
Tubi even has its own original movies and series that are just as entertaining. But while Tubi is on the come up, some of the low-budget movies and hood movies are still a must-watch. From Tubi originals to the hood movies, we've put together a list of shows and movies to add to your watchlist.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon is an original Tubi movie that stars Hailey Kilgore (Juke from Power Book III: Raising Kanan), Damon Wayans, and Pam Grier. It's a love story gone awry after a robbery turns deadly, and a young couple faces many challenges to make it out alive.
The Dirty D
The Dirty D is one of the first things I watched on Tubi, as many people highly recommended it. It's a series set in a Detroit club, and it has all the drama you can think of. Murder, drug dealing, cheating, greed, and more.
Black Men Don't Cheat
In this film, a young woman grapples with the death of her husband while also discovering his secret life, which puts her in danger.
Mother May I
This movie fully captivates the overbearing mother. However, the ending will shock you as she goes a little too far.
The Stepdaughter
When a young girl moves in with her dad and his new wife, a series of unfortunate events occurs. This Tubi original will keep your attention with every turn.
These Men For Everybody
These Men For Everybody is a film that highlights the tangled web of friendships and relationships and how you can't trust anybody.
Best Friend
What happens when your best friend is obsessed with you? This movie, which stars Serayah and Marques Houston, answers this very question and takes us on a ride in the process.
What's Done After Dark
What's Done After Dark shows us that everything isn't always what it seems. The twist at the end is a real doozy.
