Doja Cat took to Twitter to apologize after claiming that she was going to quit music.

In a series of tweets, the Planet Her artist shared her introspections on her successful career and how it plays out in her life, explaining that she does “owe people shit” and herself:

“I can travel, I can eat good food, I can see new people, I can smile, I can make memories that I dreamed of having, I can laugh, I can support my family and my friends, I can learn about the world, and I can give back to everyone because of you. I do owe people shit. I owe a lot.”

“I owe myself a lot too. I owe myself the chance to open up and be good to people. I owe myself the death of my fears that don’t allow me to expand my heart. I didn’t come to another country to do something i can do everywhere else. that would be pointless in a way.”

“I came here because I knew there was something new. New people. New things. New stories to learn. I came and I gave not enough. I need to give more because I noticed I’ve been taking a lot. Taking from almost everybody who’s reading this.”

She also quoted two of her previous tweets, responding to her “don’t ask me for shit” tweet with “This is an example of me not reciprocating all the shit that’s been given to me. This was 2 hours ago. Don’t forget it but don’t take it to heart because it doesn’t benefit you or anybody else. Please don’t hesitate to ask me for shit because I love you,” and her “I’m not sorry” tweet with “I am.”

Finally, she explained to a fan that they have always helped her solve her issues, but this problem is one she needs to face herself. “I’m not discrediting myself. I work my ass off. I know that. It’s tiring but i’m not suffering because of people like you. My suffering comes from myself. Not everybody else. It’s my problem but you guys always help me solve it when you support me the way you’ve been,” she tweeted.

Over the weekend, Doja Cat aired out her frustrations regarding fans and a cancelled festival set. The situation quickly elevated and ended with her tweeting, “It’s gone and I don’t give a f**k anymore I f**king quit. I can’t wait to f**king disappear and I don’t need you to believe in me anymore. Everything is dead to me, music is dead, and I’m a f**king fool for ever thinking I was made for this this is a f**king nightmare, unfollow me.”

Elsewhere in music, a preliminary toxicology screening conducted on the late Taylor Hawkins found 10 substances.
