Watch Doja Cat ‘Squash the Beef’ With the Fan She Previously Called Out for Giving Her His ‘Musty’ Shirt

Doja Cat and Pablo Tamayo are singing a happier song now that they’ve squashed their beef, with the pair reuniting at Outside Lands nearly two months after the rapper called out the fan for invading her personal space when they first met.

In TikTok videos posted by Tamayo recently, he and Doja make amends at the latter’s Outside Lands headlining set, to which he was personally invited as a VIP. In one clip, Tamayo documents his day as he travels to San Francisco to see the festival, where a member of the hip-hop star’s team eventually escorts him up to the stage while she’s performing so that they can have a moment together during the show.

“Doja Cat invited me to @Outside Lands to squash the beef,” Tamayo wrote in the caption.

In another video, Tamayo giggles while standing next to Doja backstage, where they got to chat one-on-one. “How do I smell?” he asks in the clip, with the Grammy winner replying, “You smell amazing.”

“I now know your name is Ami,” Tamayo then tells her apologetically, referring to Doja’s real name, Amala Dlamini. “I should’ve known.”

“That’s fine,” Doja reassures him. “And you did not need to know.”

The interaction comes after a much less pleasant exchange in June, when Tamayo first met Doja. In a viral clip from that initial meetup, he hugged the hitmaker, kissed her on the cheek and pulled off the shirt he was wearing to hand to her, at one point confessing that he didn’t know her birth name. And though Doja appeared to be enjoying herself in the moment, she later called Tamayo out in since-deleted posts on X.

“I’ll smile at you but it doesn’t mean I f–k w you and don’t touch me and man handle me when you don’t even f–kin know me,” she wrote at the time. “i need to stand up for myself in the moment sometimes. and he didn’t even know my f–kin name to be touching me and kissing on my face like that is crazy.”

In another now-deleted post, Doja added, “I threw that musty a– shirt away btw.”

In his backstage video with the star, however, Tamayo asks Doja point-blank whether she actually put his gift to her in the trash. With her eyes widening, Doja replies unconvincingly in the TikTok, “I don’t know …” before appearing to walk away.

“Guys don’t worry we’re friends again @Doja Cat,” Tamayo added in the caption.

Now that her disagreement with Tamayo has been sorted out, Doja can officially start over fresh as she gears up to release new album Vie. Though she hasn’t yet announced when the project is coming, the musician has teased that her follow-up to 2023’s Scarlet is completely finished and will have a “pop-driven” sound.

It also seems as though Doja has a new mantra going forward. Shortly after Tamayo posted his videos from Outside Lands, the rapper wrote on X, “It feels good to be kind. It hurts to not.”
