Doja Cat's Fortnite Fiasco: Navigating the Metaverse Minefield

Doja Cat BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Doja Cat has been at the center of a high-profile controversy over the past few days, sparked by a social media blunder surrounding her Fortnite Halloween collaboration known as Fortnitemares 2025. According to multiple outlets including Hindustan Times, Rolling Out, and Tribune.com.pk, Fortnite’s official X (formerly Twitter) account launched a promotional “takeover” intended to be from Doja’s perspective, but things went off the rails when it referenced “rose toys”—a phrase widely recognized as a double entendre for a sexual device. The post was quickly deleted, but not before screenshots spread and fans erupted online, with many criticizing the gaming giant for making such an explicit allusion in a game largely played by minors. Doja Cat herself took to social media to clarify that she warned Fortnite’s team not to post that language and publicly distanced herself from the gaffe, stating “That’s not even me. I said, ‘Don’t post that,’” according to Rolling Out. She later deleted her own tweets, but the backlash continues to overshadow what was meant to be a key feature: Doja debuting as an in-game boss and new character skin in the annual Fortnitemares event, which is one of the largest crossovers in Fortnite’s history, featuring icons like Jason Voorhees, Ghostface, and Scooby-Doo, as reported by Hindustan Times.

While Epic Games, the developer of Fortnite, has not issued an official statement or apology at this time, Doja Cat’s swift response has made clear she was not directly responsible for the offending post, a fact she reiterated in direct replies online, per Tribune.com.pk. The controversy has been widely covered, with outlets speculating on the fallout for her relationship with Epic Games, as well as broader discussions about public relations and social media management in celebrity-brand collaborations.

In other news, Doja Cat’s presence in the cultural universe remains formidable. She was announced as the headlining performer at the 14th Annual LACMA Art+Film Gala, set for November 1, 2025, as reported by the Houston-based Style Magazine. The event, presented by Gucci and co-chaired by Eva Chow and Leonardo DiCaprio, is a major intersection of Hollywood and the art world, and her booking signals her continued evolution as a mainstream, boundary-pushing creative force.

On the touring front, Doja Cat and her team continue to roll out dates for the global Tour Ma Vie World Tour, with major arena shows confirmed in Portland on October 17, 2026 (via Rose Quarter’s calendar), Chicago on October 3, 2026 (United Center), and Orlando on November 14, 2026 (Kia Center), according to venue announcements and local sources. These bookings further cement her transition from chart-topping artist to international touring powerhouse.

No major business deals, product launches, or public appearances outside of these events were reported in the past few days. The Fortnite controversy, while messy, has not led to any confirmed cancellations or setbacks in her announced projects, but it remains to be seen if there will be longer-term effects on her brand partnerships or fan perception. For now, Doja Cat’s public narrative is one of cultural dominance intersecting with momentary turbulence, as she continues to make headlines from the Metaverse to the museum gala circuit.
