Doja Cat Defends Ma Vie Tour After Fan Backlash Over Visuals and Wardrobe

The rapper says the show centers on singing rather than theatrical costume changes.

Overview

  • Opening night in Auckland drew online complaints about set design, storytelling and limited outfit changes compared with her 2023 Scarlet tour, even as some attendees praised her vocals and choreography.
  • Doja Cat posted explicit messages dismissing the critiques, declaring she is not a Broadway act and stating she will not accommodate demands for costume changes.
  • The setlist spans 27 songs across her catalog, including performances of “Say So,” “Paint the Town Red,” and “Agora Hills,” according to setlist reports.
  • The trek promotes her September album Vie, and “Jealous Type” has reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart.
  • The tour continues in Perth this weekend, with Europe slated for May–June 2026, South America in 2026, and a U.S. run from Oct. 1 in Detroit to Dec. 1, 2026 in New York City.
