Doja Cat Hints at Taking Yearslong Break From Music Career

Doja Cat wants to paint the town red—without having to worry about work.

Following the release of her latest album Vie last September, the 30-year-old has been mulling over a prolonged break from music after she finishes the deluxe tracks and her tour.

“I think I want to take three years off,” she told Elle in an interview on May 14. “I want to just do whatever.”

As for what “whatever” entails, the “Kiss Me More” artist—whose real name is Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini—had a few ideas, saying, “I might do another mural. I’m going to furnish this whole upper area of my house because there’s literally nothing in here and there’s been nothing in here for four years or five. So, that’s bizarre.” 

But in the meantime, Doja has been busy performing on her Tour Ma Vie World Tour, which started last November. Taking a brief break from the road, she attended this year’s Met Gala, sporting a Grecian-inspired, nude silicone gown from Saint Laurent as well as a blonde new ‘do.
