If you’ve been following Doja Cat lately you know it’s been a whirlwind week marked by major headlines tour news and a viral gaming controversy. Just days ago Doja Cat dominated music news with the announcement of new 2026 dates for her Tour Ma Vie World Tour following the rapid global success of her fifth album, Vie, released at the end of September through Kemosabe and RCA. According to a release from Live Nation and event partners, the tour now stretches across Latin America, Europe, the UK, and North America with arena stops like Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena on October 15, 2026, and Chicago’s United Center on October 3, 2026. The world tour proper kicks off November 18 in Auckland and features rising star Sailorr as the opening act for the Oceania and Asia legs. This is already drawing big attention as Doja’s first headline tour in several continents and her most ambitious arena run to date, supporting a project packed with new material and bold visuals. Vie itself debuted in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 with the single Jealous Type getting a splashy performance at the recent MTV Video Music Awards, where she performed alongside saxophonist Kenny G—a viral moment in its own right. Her all-star music video for Gorgeous, directed by Bardia Zeinali with appearances from Paloma Elsesser, Irina Shayk, and more, only fueled the buzz.
On social media it was something else entirely. Doja Cat’s collaboration with Fortnite turned messy when the gaming giant staged a faux takeover of their X account, posting in her style to promote her new in-game skins for the Fortnitemares 2025 event. Things spun out when Fortnite posted a joke referencing “rose toys”—a double entendre that, once noticed, caused immediate backlash given the game’s young audience. Doja Cat herself stepped into the fray, posting publicly that the post was not her idea and expressing plain embarrassment at the marketing misfire. The original tweet has since been deleted but the controversy lingered, sparking debate in gaming and music circles about brand partnerships and celebrity campaigns.
Balancing out the drama, Doja kept fans on her side by streaming live on Twitch, where she bought her own Fortnite bundle—her skins, emotes, and fresh tracks—turning it into a viral positive that had fans praising her authenticity. In the middle of this, industry watchers noted another biographical milestone when outlets like ThatGrapeJuice highlighted her now-classic album Planet Her passing 200 weeks on the Billboard 200, making it one of only two female rap albums to achieve that longevity along with Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy.
Amid all this, Doja Cat’s presence at the 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame event in LA, where she joined Elton John and Olivia Rodrigo for a landmark genre-blending showcase, signaled—according to Rolling Out—that she’s at the forefront of pop’s constant reinvention. While some swirling rumors about other possible projects remain unconfirmed, the past few days have cemented Doja Cat’s position as both a chart powerhouse and a pop culture lightning rod—equal parts headline-grabber and industry game-changer.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
