Doja Cat has shared a video of herself rapping a Nicki Minaj verse from her hospital bed after undergoing tonsil surgery.
Last month the rapper announced that she was cancelling her 2022 live dates, including festival shows and a tour with The Weeknd, to recover from the surgery.
It came after the artist tweeted that her âwhole throat is fuckedâ after the surgery, and that she âmight have some bad news for y’all coming soon”.
In the new video, she raps Minaj’s verse on Trey Songz‘s ‘Bottoms Up’ while recovering in her hospital bed.

Doja has pulled out of all her festival dates for this summer, including at Wireless in the UK.
âHi guys, I wanted you to hear it from me first,â she wrote on her Instagram Stories. âUnfortunately I have to have surgery on my tonsils ASAP. The surgery is routine but the recovery is going to take awhile due to swelling.
âThat means I have to cancel my festival run this summer as well as The Weeknd tour. I feel horrible about this but canât wait for this to heal and get back to making music and create an experience for yâall.â
Following the announcement, Doja teased details of her fourth studio album in a new interview with Elle, noting she will be focused more on rapping than singing this time around.
While she noted that she has ânot startedâ making the album yet, she assured fans that work on the album is âcoming upâ.
âI have been getting songs and things sent to me,â she said. âOh fuck, I wish I could tell people. Thereâs some really cool stuff that I got sent from friends. Theyâre all working on beats, and Iâm giving them notes and they know what I want, so Iâm excited.â
Earlier this month, she shared the video for her new track âVegasâ, which she recorded for the soundtrack of Baz Luhrmannâs new Elvis Presley biopic.
