In the nearly two-minute clip, Doja expresses being “tickled and bothered” by commenters telling Madonna “to stop” in response to TikToks of the singer performing.
“It’s interesting to me because, it’s like, you’re telling a musician who makes music, who performs it as a job, to stop doing it?” the rapper questions. “I’m trying to wrap my head around that.”
Doja then questions if these hate comments against Madonna are because the "Vogue" singer is “an older woman who feels sexy.”
“Is that why you want her to get off stage? Because you feel threatened by an older woman who can do her job forever?” Doja asks, adding that Madonna loves what she does, and people pay to see and enjoy it.
She mocks the haters, suggesting they might dislike Madonna's performances due to “something personal happening in there” that “nobody else knows.”
“Is that why you’re upset? Aww,” she jests before breaking out into laughter. “I’m sorry, it’s not funny.”
Doja then pretends to wipe away tears, commenting that “it is sad” and saying she’ll cry alongside them.
“I’m so sorry,” she faux cries out, ending the video.
Most recently, Madonna performed at a Dolce & Gabbana fashion show in Milan last month. Previously, she concluded her record-breaking Celebration Tour, performing at sold-out venues across Europe and the Americas, ending with a free show on Rio De Janeiro’s Copacabana Beach for over 1.6 million attendees.
Doja’s most recent performance was at the Global Citizen Move Afrika festival in South Africa in March, following months of touring in support of her Billboard 200 No. 4 album Vie. Tour Ma Vie resumes on May 19 in Dublin, then across Europe, before coming to the U.S. and concluding on December 1 at Madison Square Garden.
