She also addressed the criticism over her rap skills, vowing to silence her critics with her new music. “i also agree with everyone who said the majority of my rap verses are mid and corny. I know they are,” said Doja. “I wasnt trying to prove anything I just enjoy making music but I’m getting tired of hearing yall say that i can’t so I will.”
Another fan urged her to “talk ur shit in the rap sphere,” to which she replied, “i do that on the album.”

She revealed that she has recorded 10 tracks for her next project, which will be “rap only,” and posted some of the titles including “Wet Vagina,” “Balut,” and “Agora Hills.”
Doja previously announced the title of her new album, Hellmouth, which she said will lean in a “more masculine direction” than 2021’s Planet Her.
“I know that I’ve done a lot of pink and soft things, a lot of pop and glittery sounds,” she told Variety, “but for this next era, I’m going in a more masculine direction.”
