“Doja Cat Considers Retirement Due to Dr. Luke: Hello everyone, welcome to the Impressive Channel. Today, I’d like to discuss Doja Cat’s recent announcement regarding her potential retirement from the music industry. This isn’t the first time Doja has hinted at stepping away from music; she has voiced her desire to quit multiple times in the past. Doja has been transparent about feeling exhausted and overburdened, expressing discontent with her current path. Recently, she took to Twitter to vent her frustrations, particularly after facing criticism for canceling a concert in Paraguay. In a candid tweet, she exclaimed, ‘I’m done. I no longer care. I’ve often contemplated leaving. I’m eager to vanish and I no longer seek your validation. Everything feels lifeless. Music feels lifeless, and I regret ever believing I belonged here. It’s a nightmare. Unfollow me. This isn’t my journey, so I bid farewell.’ Temporarily altering her profile header to ‘I quit,’ she made her sentiments clear.”
Many of us interpreted Doja’s remarks as merely going through the motions, not taking them seriously. However, her recent exchange with Mix 105.1 radio station painted a different picture. When they suggested she might not be retiring, Doja emphatically responded, ‘Yes, the F I am.’ Her subsequent tweet further solidified her stance: ‘For those catching me on the After Hours Tour, I’m not bailing. But just because I’m not bailing doesn’t mean I won’t disappear right after. I still have commitments beyond music. Posting pictures doesn’t mean I’m not working. So yes, I have videos to shoot, performances to do, and content to release. I’ll fulfill my obligations and then step away. I’m not gone yet.’
Doja’s unequivocal statements leave no room for doubt: she intends to step back from music. This decision, especially considering her peak in career, raises questions about her motivations. Why would someone like Doja, who has achieved so much, publicly declare her intent to walk away from it all?
There’s a significant backstory here. For those unfamiliar, Doja Cat is under the management of Dr. Luke. Yes, you read that correctly. She’s signed with the controversial figure in the music industry, despite the accusations made by Kesha against him. Surprisingly, Dr. Luke hasn’t faced the consequences one might expect in the industry. Instead, he’s continued to operate behind the scenes, profiting considerably, particularly from his association with Doja Cat. She’s been diligently fulfilling her contractual obligations, seemingly unaware of the entanglements she would face.
Doja Cat’s journey with Dr. Luke began when she was just a teenager, around 16 or 17 years old, back in 2013, before the public revelations about Kesha’s allegations. At the time of signing, she likely saw it as a strategic move for her budding career, given Dr. Luke’s status as a prominent pop producer. However, it appears she unwittingly entered into what some might describe as an oppressive agreement.
Initially, Doja Cat struggled to gain recognition under Dr. Luke’s management. It wasn’t until her viral hits like ‘Moo’ and ‘Juicy’ caught the public’s attention that she started to make waves. ‘Say So,’ in particular, propelled her into the limelight, transforming her into the pop sensation she is today. Since then, she’s been tirelessly working, while Dr. Luke seems intent on maximizing his profits, even claiming credit for songs he allegedly had minimal involvement in.
In a revealing interview with Rolling Stone, Doja Cat hinted at her strained relationship with Dr. Luke, indicating that she hadn’t collaborated with him in a long time. She expressed uncertainty about his contributions to her music, suggesting that he may have received undue credit. However, faced with the repercussions of her candid remarks, she later clarified her stance, likely under pressure from Dr. Luke’s camp.
I trust Doja when she states that Dr. Luke hasn’t been involved in her music for years, yet he’s profiting from it significantly. Despite her continuous efforts, she feels trapped by contractual obligations and the association with Dr. Luke’s label, feeling more like a slave than an artist. Understandably, she’s weary of this situation and desires to step away from music, but she’s bound by remaining album commitments and other obligations to her label. It’s a tough spot to be in.
As for the drama involving Ari Fletcher, G Herbo, and Taina Williams, here’s a quick rundown: G Herbo was previously in a relationship with Ari Fletcher, with whom he shares a son named Yosan. After their split, he began dating Taina Williams, resulting in their son Essex and another child on the way. Speculation suggests G Herbo’s infidelity during his relationship with Ari led to tension between her and Taina, complicating matters, especially concerning co-parenting Yosan. Yosan’s discomfort around Taina further complicates the situation.
Just a few days ago, Ari shared a video of her playing a prank on her son. She pretended to be pregnant, and her son Yosan burst into tears. Some speculate he might fear neglect with a new sibling, especially as they perceive G Herbo, his father, showing more attention to his younger brother. However, G Herbo denied favoritism, asserting equal love for all his children. Ari contradicted this, revealing on her IG story a troubling incident involving her son and G Herbo’s partner, Taina. Allegedly, Taina mistreated Yosan while G Herbo was away, leaving him with a scar. Ari claims she confronted Taina respectfully, yet G Herbo dismissed Yosan’s account, leading to strained relations. G Herbo refuted these claims, stating he would never allow mistreatment of his son.
Taina recently spoke out, expressing her frustration: “I’ve tolerated your fabrication of stories about me before, but I refuse to let you tarnish my relationship with a child I deeply care for. Anyone who truly knows me understands I’d never harm him or any child. I’ve kept my affection for your son under wraps out of respect for you, despite the challenges. When I entered this relationship, I embraced all its complexities, including the drama. I’ve always hoped we could resolve our disputes maturely for the sake of our children. But attacking my character as a parent and accusing me of mistreating a child crosses a line. Your constant attacks, especially while I’m eight months pregnant and emotionally drained, are appalling. Your intense animosity towards me and your portrayal of me is distressing. Despite your feelings towards me, I love your son. I hope you find the healing you seek.”
Additionally, Taina shared videos of her interactions with Yosan over the years to demonstrate their positive relationship. However, Ari wasn’t receptive. Instead, she responded sharply to Taina’s actions and shared audio messages from her son discussing mistreatment by Taina.
Firstly, kindly remove any mention of my son from your page – that’s non-negotiable. While I’ve tolerated your fabrication of stories about me before, I draw the line at allowing you to create falsehoods involving my beloved child. Anyone familiar with me knows I would never… Enough with the pretense, because nobody is buying into that, period. As I’ve said, I reached out to you and informed you about what happened to my son, yet nobody bothered to call me back. I waited an entire week, and it took me calling you again for you to deny it all. Stop playing games with me, dropping that façade of innocence you try to portray. It’s not flying. It’s not like you, and I’m not having it. I extended you a chance, but you blew it. Moving on…
What did I let you do? Tell the truth? Well, here it is: you’re stewing at home, seething with rage and misery because of whatever chaos is unfolding over there. You’re pregnant, dealing with a baby daddy who’s livid and leaving you to deal with his child, while you harbor animosity towards his baby mama. That’s the crux of the issue. But since you’re accusing me of lying about you, I have eight videos that’ll prove otherwise. Let’s start from the beginning, from square one, since apparently, I’m spinning tall tales about you. And why the animosity towards Taina?
You all understand the situation. I have eight more videos like this, so don’t accuse me of fabricating a story about you neglecting your responsibilities. I won’t go online and lie about my child or twist his words. He’s been with you for years now. Why would I suddenly decide to accuse you now? Every time my child is in LA, he’s with you constantly because his dad isn’t around much. Why would I pick now to be upset with the babysitter? My concern is what happened to my child and his father, not about you. When he came back home at 2 AM with a scraped knee that was already healing, I asked him what happened. He said Taina threw a pillow at him, causing him to fall, and she didn’t help him up. His dad wasn’t there. That’s when things get concerning. He told me the same story a week later, and nobody reached out to me to discuss it. I waited a week before calling anyone. My son’s story remained consistent. He’s intelligent; he wouldn’t lie about this. Three months later, his story hasn’t changed. He came back from his time with you saying he was hurt and didn’t like you. When I called to address it, you denied everything. When I asked Taina, she insisted my son was lying. At that point, I didn’t want to talk to anyone. There’s nothing more to discuss.
This situation is quite complex and deserves careful consideration. Ari’s concerns about her son’s treatment are understandable, given that she can’t monitor him constantly. Relying on her son’s accounts, she’s naturally worried about his well-being. However, the timing and motives behind Ari’s decision to release the audio raise questions. The incident she mentioned occurred three months ago, so bringing it up now seems somewhat suspicious. Moreover, the timing, just before Taina’s birthday, suggests a deliberate attempt to paint a certain picture of Taina and potentially disrupt her celebration. Ari has a history of stirring up drama for attention, which hints at calculated intentions beyond just her son’s welfare. It appears there’s more to her actions than meets the eye, and this aspect shouldn’t be overlooked.
Regarding Taina’s perspective, it’s conceivable she may find Yosan challenging at times, perceiving him as having the energy of a hyperactive toddler. He comes across as a free spirit, seemingly not accustomed to strict discipline from Ari and G Herbal. Consequently, he lacks a frame of reference for it. When someone else attempts to discipline him, he interprets it as unkindness, especially from Taina, who likely assumes the role of disciplinarian. With her own young child and pregnancy, her patience might be strained. However, she must tread carefully in her reactions and disciplinary actions, mindful that Yosan is not her own son. Any expression of frustration or discipline must be measured; she cannot resort to throwing objects or taking out her irritation on him. Yosan appears highly sensitive and struggles with the adjustment to having more siblings and receiving less attention. G Herbal’s lack of presence and responsibility exacerbates the situation, as he shifts the burden onto Taina. This neglect is concerning, particularly since Yosan has expressed violent sentiments, such as wanting to shoot Taina. This behavior warrants serious adjustments in parenting, with G Herbal needing to assume a more active role if Yosan is to remain in his care.
Finally, I believe it’s crucial for all the parents involved to refrain from airing their family matters on social media. Not everything needs to be shared with the public. If there are issues concerning their son, those should be addressed privately. Moving on, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the video below.
