Doja Cat has cancelled all upcoming tour dates in order to recover from throat surgery.
“Unfortunately I have to have surgery on my tonsils asap,” she wrote in a social media statement on May 20th. “The surgery is routine but the recovery is going to take a while due to swelling. That means I have to cancel my festival run this summer as well as The Weeknd tour.”
Yesterday, May 19th, the pop star tweeted that she had just undergone surgery on her left tonsil. “My tonsils got infected before bbmas and i was taking fuckin antibiotics but forgot that i was taking them and then i drank wine and was vaping all day long and then i started getting a nasty ass growth on my tonsil so they had to do surgery on it today,” she said.
As she explained, the doctor “poked up in dere with a needle twice and then sucked all the juice out and then he took a sharp thing and cut it in two places and squoze all the goop out in dere. i cried and it hurt a lot but im ok.” She added, “im quitting the vape for a while and hopefully i dont crave it anymore after that.” It’s unclear when the second surgery will take place.
Doja Cat was set as one of the headliners at Lollapalooza 2022, and she had been scheduled to hit the road with The Weeknd on his “After Hours Til Dawn” tour beginning in July. It’s unclear if this surgery will affect her other big upcoming collaboration: namely, Mexican Pizza: The Musical, which co-stars Dolly Parton, and which is scheduled to go down May 26th on TikTok.
