Doja Cat has a health update for her fans.
The 26-year-old “Woman” performer shared some painful details about a recent procedure she needed on her tonsil because of an infection that was exacerbated by vaping and drinking when she was at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards.
She took to social media on Thursday (May 19) to reveal the news of her oral surgery — also hinting that she may not be able to sing in the near future.
Doja wrote on Twitter that she may bear some bad news soon, stating:
“[Doctor] just had to cut into my left tonsil. [I] had an abscess in it. [My] whole throat is f–ked so [I] might have some bad news for y’all coming soon.
My tonsils got infected before [the BBMAs] and [I] was taking f–kin antibiotics but forgot that [I] was taking them and then [I] drank wine and was vaping all day long.”
“She went on in detail about what happened to her and what the doctor had to do:
Then [I] started getting a nasty ass growth on my tonsil so they had to do surgery on it today.
[He] poked up in [there] 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 [squeezed] all the goop out in [there].”
“I cried and it hurt a lot but [I’m] ok.”
Doja shared that she would be “quitting the vape for a while” following her procedure and hoped that she did not “crave it anymore after that,” declaring:
“[It’s] like imagine all that [weird] poisonous s–t in the vape seeping into the completely open wound in my throat like f–k that. [I’m] hella young.”
And she finished by thanking everyone for their support:
“[Y’all about] to make me cry with all the reassurance.
[I] appreciate it. [Thanks] for being supportive. [I] love you.”
