Doja Cat is getting into her insecurities.
Specifically, why she sought liposuction on her thighs and butt in 2023, explaining that she may be unknowingly suffering from lipedema—a progressive condition that causes abnormal fat buildup in the lower part of the body—instead.
“Lipedema runs in my family,” the rapper shared in a March 9 TikTok video. “I always thought that it was cellulite.”
Looking back, Doja Cat (real name Amala Dlamini) said her legs and bottom began filling out in her early teen years, though she continued to maintain a “little waist.”
“It wasn’t like a horrible thing. I just felt like it stuck out,” she continued. “I had big ass knees.”
In fact, Doja Cat said she was often ridiculed for her thicker legs, recalling the time she was looking to have a custom latex suit made for her “Go to Town” music only for the manufacturer to tell her, “‘Your measurements aren’t real.'”
