Shortly before her appearance at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards, Doja Cat was taking antibiotics for a tonsil infection. Forgetting about the antibiotics, she vaped throughout the day and got a growth on her tonsil. She ended up needing surgery to remove the growth, which she graphically recounted for the world to see in typical Doja Cat fashion.
After sharing the story, fans were quick to call out her history of vaping and how it could have contributed to the growth. Doja immediately replied, confirming their suspicions and announcing that she'd be quitting the habit. However, she reminded them it wasn't that simple. "Throwing them away just instills panic," she tweeted. "I'm addicted but I'm not weak. I was literally staring at my vape today that normally I'd hit a thousand times a day and hit it two times instead. I'ma try to go cold turkey for now but hopefully my brain doesn't need it at all by then."
Days earlier, when it was announced that Doja won the award for best R&B album at the BBMAs, she took a quick puff before going onstage. She also hit her vape pen on a TikTok Live last December, receiving a warning from the app for consuming substances on the platform. Although she laughed it off back then, it sounds like she'll be taking the risk much more seriously going forward.
