SA reacts to Doja Cat's world tour announcement

Shortly after the star announced her world tour on social media, many South African netizens couldn't help but flood the comment section with many questions and reactions. Here's what they had to say below:

@TAANDYZ said:

"Skipping JHB but going to Manila and Bogota? Lol she has zero respect for us."

@MabathoGallens wrote:

"Could it be that SA is not included on the list because it is not part of the Tour Ma Vie? I guess @HeyNeighbourFes will give a better explanation for this."

@Supaguluva_ responded:

"Maybe the SA gig is not part of the Ma Vie tour, but it doesn’t mean she can’t perform anywhere else."

@MelaninHued replied:

"She didn’t even bother to add us."

@BC_Ngwenya mentioned:

"You guys really think she was going to come to SA knowing her deadbeat side of the family is there. They probably started reaching out when rumours of her performing in SA started circulating, and she changed her mind almost immediately."
