"You would think now that she’s a celebrity, bro would be in her life more, but it’s the exact opposite, and I wonder why."

@12welvez asked:

"Y’all are really mad at Doja Cat for matching energy? A whole grown man can’t show up for his own daughter, but somehow it’s her job to chase him? If he wanted a relationship, he would’ve acted like a father, not a guest. She doesn’t owe him softness after years of absence."
