According to E!, she listened to "Choosin' Texas" on the stream, then said, "This is not my vibe, but she has a very pretty voice. If this is No. 1 on the charts, I’m sure it’s on the radio. I could see them playing this s— on the radio. I don’t like it, but that’s fine. It’s very earwormy it sounds like, it’s like [a] catchy melody. I get it, and she’s pretty."
Fox News Digital has reached out to Doja Cat for comment.
In the comments on Langley's post, fans were quick to draw the connection to Doja Cat's original comments.
