Some fans are upset to see Doja vaping again after previously cancelling tour dates while recovering from a surgery on her throat.

Doja Cat's outfit for the 2023 Met Gala was definitely enough to keep her on the internet's mind all week long. Nevertheless, we've barely begun to cover her antics yet. The California-born singer dressed as the late Karl Lagerfeld's adored cat, Choupette, for her saunter down the red carpet. She was committed to the bit far beyond just her look. While speaking with Emma Chamberlain during a Vogue interview that's currently going viral, Doja answered the YouTuber's questions only with meows, leaving her obviously very confused.

While that moment was certainly hilarious, the "Best Friend" hitmaker was caught on camera in the background of another interview. Her cat-like appearance is obviously enough to earn a giggle. However, seeing her stare off into oblivion while hitting a vape in the middle of the Met Gala is sending some social media users into a tailspin. Doja appears to be unbothered by the fact that she's committing a major no-no in breaking Anna Wintour's no-smoking rule, though it's worth noting she isn't the first to do so.

Many celebrities have shared sneaky selfies taken from inside the historic event, some of which show stars lighting up cigarettes in bathrooms, among other places.

Others, however, are disappointed to see her still consuming nicotine after previously cancelling concerts as a result of her throat surgery.

"No shade but she cancelled her performance the day before Hangout Fest last year (due to her throat procedure) and it broke my heart. I can’t believe she’s still vaping," one upset user vented. Keep scrolling to see Twitter's mixed reactions to Doja Cat's antics.
