“He's dragging it too much”- Netizens react as the fan recently slammed by Doja Cat drops merch quoting her tweet about his “musty ass shirt”
Doja Cat was the center of renewed online discussion after a fan she publicly criticized began selling merchandise quoting her remarks. The situation stems from a recent encounter between the artist and TikTok user Pablo Tamayo, which initially appeared positive but quickly escalated online. Their interaction has now taken a commercial turn, prompting mixed reactions from internet users.
While some observers understand his attempt to leverage the viral moment, a notable segment of netizens feels the response has gone too far.
"Finally we can all agree he's dragging it too much, allat just for money," tweeted a user.

"Oh Jesus clout is really a hell of a drug. I was on his side till this….." wrote a user.
"Oh this is so corny , I see why Doja was scared to tell him no to his face, the energy he gave off when he was grabbing on her and in every video he has posted since is sooo over-bearing," said another.
"Okay he’s dragging it-" said one user.
"It clearly was always a clout chase for him," stated another.
"Clout chaser. He’s definitely musty. Pack it up a free Doja," wrote one user.
However, not everyone was against the idea. A lot of users praised him for making the most out of the situations with tweets like:
"You know what, I can't even hate on that, if she can use him for clout he shoul also get something out of it," said a user.
"He's real asf cause if it was me l'd be milking tf outta the situation," said another.
"Turn lemons into lemonade, I'm never mad at someone making their coins!" exclaimed a user.
"Smart move 100% might as well capitalize off the momentum because next week nobody is gonna be talking about this," wrote a user.
"A business man!!! I’m not mad at all! Use your 15 mins of fame CORRECTLY!" stated another.
Doja Cat spat escalates with a fan's quoted merchandise
The sequence began last week when Tamayo met Doja Cat at an event. A TikTok video captured what seemed like a warm exchange: the pair hugged twice, shared kisses on the cheek, and Tamayo gifted Doja a white tank top he was wearing after she expressed interest in it.
Tamayo recounted that Doja Cat even invited him to call her by her first name, Amala ("Ami"). However, the tone shifted dramatically on Friday, June 13, when Doja posted since-deleted messages on X (formerly Twitter) referencing the TikTok.
In her posts, Doja Cat accused Tamayo of inappropriate contact. She further criticized the interaction, stating he didn't even know her name before touching and kissing her. She also dismissed the gifted shirt, claiming she threw "that musty a*s shirt away."
Pablo Tamayo has since launched merchandise capitalizing on the exchange. The items prominently feature the phrase "musty a*s shirt," directly quoting Doja Cat's deleted tweet where she dismissed the gifted tank top. This merchandising strategy, seemingly a direct response to her public criticism, has become the latest focal point in the online discussion surrounding their spat.
This incident also echoes Doja Cat's known history of actively distancing herself from overly familiar or parasocial fan relationships, a stance that has previously led to significant backlash and loss of followers.
The merchandise quoting Doja Cat's "musty a*s shirt" comment is now available for $28. Online discussions continue to debate the original spat and this new commercial development.
