She continued, “I feel free.”

Meanwhile, in an interview with Harper’s BAZAAR published this month, Doja talks about the difficulty of relating to fans who have a particular image of her. She said, “My theory is that if they’ve never met me in real life, then potentially, I’m not real to them,” she said, “so for people who don’t know me in person, the person they see in public isn’t real to them.

‘So when people get involved with someone they don’t even know on the Internet, they start to take ownership of that person. In a sense, they think of that person as if they own them. So when that person changes dramatically, the reaction is uncontrollable shock. I accepted that that is what happens,” she said.

Doja, who has shaved her head and shaved all her eyebrows, touched on this as well, “I can wear a wig or take it off, shave my head or shave my eyebrows. I have all kinds of freedom,” she commented. She said that whatever she does, she does it because she likes to do it, and it is her freedom.
