Doja Cat is calling out Tyga for using artificial intelligence on his new album, “$TARFACE.” During a Wednesday live stream, she didn’t mince words, describing her former collaborator with a blunt insult and making it clear she thinks the A.I. approach is misguided.
The criticism came unprompted. Doja Cat volunteered the take without anyone asking about Tyga, suggesting the issue has been weighing on her.
Her exact words: “Tyga is a penis for making an A.I. album.”
Tyga has acknowledged using A.I. as a production tool on the project, comparing the technology to Auto-Tune. That framing hasn’t softened the backlash.
Pitchfork handed “$TARFACE” a rare 0/10 rating, with the publication stating that “Its very existence has made the world a worse place.” That kind of critical scorching sets the tone for how the album has been received.
What makes Doja’s criticism sharper is their shared history. The two collaborated on the “Juicy” remix in 2019 and “Freaky Deaky” in 2022. A past working relationship makes the current callout feel personal.
The A.I. debate in music continues to divide the industry. Doja’s stance is clear: she sees little merit in the approach.
