Nas Addresses His Doja Cat Controversy: ‘People Do It All The Time’

In a new interview with NME, Nas addresses the controversy that followed him name-checking Doja Cat on his comeback single, “Ultra Black.” He previously spoke on the line itself, claiming that he didn’t feel it was a diss during an interview with Power 106, but during this new interview, he talks about being caught off-guard by the controversy and how out-of-touch he feels with modern social media.

“Well, I’ve been away, so, of course, I mention someone’s name that’s popular and people are gonna talk about it,” he replies. “I hear people do it all the time but no one makes a big deal of it. Maybe it’s because I don’t put out records a lot, so they’re like, ‘Whoa!’ I don’t really know the world that these stars live in anymore. I’m rapping the same way I did when I was on the block, but now there’s a new world and what I say can take off with social media and I can’t do anything about it.”

“Ultra Black” drew a backlash from fans due to its line referencing Doja Cat’s recent chat room scandal. “We going ultra-Black, the opposite of Doja Cat,” he rhymes. Fans interpreted this as a derogatory comment toward the “Say So” singer, who had just been accused of participating in a white supremacist chat room at the same time as an old track of hers titled “Dindu” — a slur against Black people — resurfaced online. Doja apologized for the song but also defended her chat friends from accusations of racism.

Doja Cat herself responded to Nas’ line a couple of times since. Initially, she sarcastically told fans during a live stream “I am so offended and upset about this song” before noting that her anticipated single “N****s Ain’t Sh*t” is an unintentional acronym for “Nas.” Ultimately, she said that she will never beef with Nas — however, I propose as a counterpoint: “N****s Ain’t Sh*t” remix, featuring Nas. Think about it, guys.

Seigetrops captures the emotional tension and groove on “It Feels So Right”

Seigetrops release a reggae-pop track, “It Feels So Right,” that explores the fine line between wanting and holding back. The production is bright and uplifting, and the story is emotionally complicated. This makes for a listening experience that is both light and deeply thought-provoking.

The song’s laid-back rhythm and steady groove draw people in right away. But underneath that calm surface is a strong tension, the push and pull between two people stuck in a cycle they know they shouldn’t be in.

The dynamic structure of “It Feels So Right” is what makes it stand out. The smooth transition between melodic singing and rap-driven sections elevates the story to a whole new level. The chorus is a memorable part of the song, full of emotion and meaning, while the verses tell the story with quiet intensity. Seigetrops has a great sense of pacing, letting the track grow naturally without losing its unity.
