Doja Cat has mocked social media users who are outraged over her "demonic" tattoo.
Over the weekend, the 27-year-old 'Say So' hitmaker took to her Instagram to debut her fresh ink which she claims represents imperfection.
The ink on her left forearm is based on a Giovanni Battista Bissoni illustration from Italian philosopher Fortunio Liceti's 1634 book De Monstruorum Causis, Natura et Differentiis (On the Reasons, Nature, and Differences of Monsters).
However, upon seeing her tattoo, many users took to the comment section to share their stunned reactions, with one disappointed user writing: "Clearly u sold your soul to the devil, unfollowing."
Another equally shocked person exclaimed: "UGH, WE HATE THE NEW DOJA, U ARE LOSING FOLLOWERS AND FANS BC OF SATAN, GET AHOLD OF URSELF DOJA."
A third questioned: "What in the ILLUMINATI is goin on here[?]"
Lastly, a fourth user shared: "I miss the old Doja, you’ll regret that."
The Grammy-winning singer - whose real name is Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini - then took to her Twitter page to address those comments and penned: "If ur calling me demonic honestly werk cuz like I love that u ate fr."
She also shared a follow-up post on Instagram explaining the significance behind the tattoo. The first post included images from the 1665 edition of Liceti’s De Monstris, alongside the caption: "Your fear is not my problem."
The second image in the gallery provided an in-depth explanation of the illustration, which read: "Originally published, without the illustrations, in 1616. Liceti’s work, although not the first on the topic of deformities in nature, was perhaps the most influential of the period."
"In the wake of the book, there was a huge rise in interest throughout Europe in ‘monstrosities’: pygmies, supposed mermaids, deformed fetuses, and other natural marvels were put on display and widely discussed, becoming the circus freak-shows of their time."
The explanation stated that Liceti didn't see "deformity" as "negative" like many of his contemporaries, instead, he commanded them to be more "admirable".
The post concluded by quoting Liceti: "'It is said that I see the convergence of both nature and art. Because one or the other not being able to make what they want, they can at least make what they can."
Anyone that has followed the 'Rules' musician's career will know that she has an "I don't care" attitude, doing everything from shaving her head and eyebrows, painting herself gold in the name of fashion, changing her display name on Twitter to "fart" and being unable to change it back.
This also isn't the first time Doja has been called "demonic". Back in February, she addressed Illuminati rumors after users claimed that the theme of her birthday party was inspired by Stanley Kubrick's film Eyes Wide Shut - which is about an 'elite society' supposedly similar to the Illuminati.
In addition to the theme, the 'Need To Know' songstress' party included a three-tiered birthday cake with the infamous 'All Seeing Eye' design on it and guests were all dressed in masks.
After seeing all the commotion regarding her on the social media platform, Doja took to her Twitter to announce that she is irritated with all the bizarre speculations.
The 'Kiss Me More' singer wrote: "This Illuminati s*** is so funny to me I'm gonna keep doing deliberate weird a** s*** just to make those people uncomfortable. I've fr found a new outlet of joy."
It seems like she stuck to her word as she is continuing to make people "uncomfortable".
