Doja's most recent tweets once again have fans talking.

The follow-up to Doja Cat's 2021 album Planet Her has been teased for quite a while now. Doja has announced a few different names for the coming album which has had fans buzzing over when they might get to hear it. Starting yesterday, Doja began teasing something with tweets counting down from 6. In the past month she's tweeted a trio of obscure statements each of which includes some form of the word "scarlet" and the blood emoji. "scarlet was here." "scarlet's watching," "let myself heal, scar finally sealed" the rapper has tweeted.

But over the weekend Doja Cat upped the ante. All it took was a simple tweet of the number "6" to get people stirring. When she followed it up the next day with a "5" tweet people began marking their calendars for new Doja. While it isn't clear right now what she is counting down toward, it seems safe to assume it will arrive at the end of this week when the countdown reaches 0. Reports of Doja's forthcoming project have been circulating for months now. Back in April, she teased fans with a trio of tweets that seemed to imply she was working on more than one new album.

Doja Teases Fans

After changing the name of her album a few times throughout the process of recording it, she gave fans an explanation. In an interview, she blamed her ADHD for the shifting album titles and announcements, all of which have since been deleted. Speaking of deleted tweets, Doja also drew some attention for comments on her previous albums. "planet her and hot pink were cash-grabs and yall fell for it" Doja said on Twitter.

Earlier this year, Doja Cat jumped on a remix to one of the biggest hits of 2023. SZA's "Kill Bill" has been near the top of the Hot 100 all year so far. When SZA teamed up with Doja Cat for a remix the song to jump up to the number one spot. Alongside that remix, Doja got plenty of attention for her cat-themed Met GALA look. Between those and her Twitter drama, she's been in the news cycle a lot despite not releasing any new music. Let us know what you think Doja might be teasing in the comments below.
