Doja Cat criticizing the YouTuber began to circulate online over the weekend. - The singer called out Lorry Hill for speculating she had gotten cosmetic surgery, which she denies.
Doja Cat called out popular YouTuber Lorry Hill on Friday after Hill speculated the singer had cosmetic surgery, which Doja Cat denies.
In the video, which Hill has since removed from her channel, the influencer compared pictures of Doja Cat from 2014 and 2020, the singer said.
In a clip that has circulated online in the last few days, Doja Cat said Hill produced "lies" about the singer having cosmetic surgery on her nose, adding that she looked different in pictures from 2014 because she "had little to no money" and was "depending on boyfriends" to buy her food.
Doja Cat can be heard saying, "It's about this bitch, Lorry Hill, talking about people's bodies, talking about people's surgery," and added, "You're done and your whole shit is fucked up and if I could tear your whole empire down I would."
The clip is from an
Now, Hill — who has 373,000 subscribers on YouTube — has addressed the situation in a written post on her YouTube community page, saying she removed the video "without hesitation" because it appeared to "hurt" the singer.
"It was brought to my attention that Doja Cat has seen my video where I shared my opinion on possible procedures she may have had," she wrote. "She expressed that she felt hurt by the video and since it is never my intention to hurt anyone I have taken the video down without hesitation."
Later that day, Hill posted a statement on her Instagram Stories which included a link to a YouTube video containing footage of Doja Cat discussing the video.
Hill made reference to the rapper insulting her saying, "I didn't know she called me these names and threatened me prior to removing the video."
Hill mostly posts about plastic surgery on her YouTube page. Her "About" section says that she's not a doctor, but has "an extremely well-informed opinion garnered from my own plastic surgeries coupled with a talent for discerning what facial feature combinations are objectively beautiful."
Hill also wrote that she has "unique access to the world of plastic surgeons" through a network of "friends and associates."
Hill has posted many videos analyzing images of celebrities and speculating about potential cosmetic procedures, including Ariana Grande, Zendaya, Kim Kardashian, and more. Social media accounts claiming to explain which celebrities had plastic surgery have become incredibly popular in recent years, and Hill's top 10 most popular videos all include names of celebrities in the title and have more than 1 million views.
Hill has faced criticism in the past for these types of videos. In September 2020, a Twitter fanpage for the K-pop group BLACKPINK encouraged its followers to report a video in which Hill discussed the procedures which she believed the band member Lisa Manoban had undergone.
Hill maintains that her intention is not to shame people for their choices but to raise awareness. In a video titled "Welcome To My Channel," Hill said that she doesn't want young people to believe celebrities' appearance is always naturally achievable. "If celebrities would come clean, this would do wonders in raising people's self-esteem," she said.
She has also spoken openly about her own experience with cosmetic surgery. Speaking to i-D's Emily Jensen in 2021, she said, "My first surgery on my nose left me dissatisfied, and you don't see that a lot. And then even my second surgery left me dissatisfied and that sent me into a loop of surgery-induced body dysmorphia."
Doja Cat, whose real name is Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, is a singer and rapper whose music frequently goes viral on TikTok. She is known for being extremely active on social media, and has been nominated for 11 Grammy awards.
