Doja Cat pulled a post-and-delete on Lana Del Rey's open letter to "the culture," in which the alt-pop singer singled out Doja among other female artists for getting away with certain lyrical content that she hasn't previously been afforded the freedom to explore. After posting the letter on Thursday (May 21st), Lana received a massive wave of backlash. She seemed to be insinuating that while she had received criticism over the years for supposedly "glamorizing abuse" in her music by singing about unhealthy relationships, "now" other women like Doja, as well as Ariana Grande, Camila Cabello, Cardi B, Kehlani, Nicki Minaj, and Beyoncé are being celebrated for embracing their sexuality in music.
While many came to the defense of the women named, it appears as though none of them have issued any kind of response to her statement except Doja. Shortly after Lana shared the post, Doja left a comment saying "gang sunk that dunker."
It was quickly deleted, but not before pop culture news account @PopCrave managed to get a screenshot of the odd comment. Doja's seemingly nonsensical remark has been leaving plenty of folks confused—some say it was Doja's way of calling on her fans to give Lana sh*t, while others insist it's a basketball reference that loosely translates to "points were made." Still, others interpreted it as a more polite way of saying "suck my d*ck."

While Doja may have deleted her comment, she decided to change her Twitter name to "GANG" and post part of the phrase in a tweet, asking her followers to fill-in-the-blank.
"The Masked Singer" Unveils Swan After Odd Sarah Palin Reveal
Bella Thorne was revealed to be “The Masked Singer” underneath the Swan costume after the unconventional show unmasked Sarah Palin as the Bear last week.
The Masked Singer followed up last week’s episode—which saw the wildly unexpected and outrageously uncomfortable unveiling of former U.S. Vice President nominee Sarah Palin as the Bear singing “Baby Got Back”—by revealing that actress Bella Thorne was the singer underneath the Swan costume. The FOX guessing-game competition show shocked audiences last Wednesday evening with the most surprising reveal in the series’ three season-run, when the Republican politician turned out to be the Bear all along. It was a tough act to follow, since some are still wrapping their heads around Palin’s performance of Sir-Mix-a-Lot’s booty-worshipping anthem. Still, TMS managed to surprise at least the judges this week when the Swan was unmasked and Bella appeared.

None of the judges on the panel—which includes Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, Robin Thicke, and guest judge, Joel McHale—managed to land on Bella as the singer beneath the Swan, throwing out guesses for other actresses like Nina Dobrev, Megan Fox, Oli Munn, Mila Kunis, and Kristen Stewart. When it finally came time for the Swan to shed her feathers after she was voted out, Bella revealed that she had decided to do the show in the first place because her former The Duff co-star Ken had guessed her in a prior season.
“Well because Ken was guessing me as the Flamingo last season and I retweeted that and that made me super excited and I just started watching the show and I thought it was so, so amazing, so dope and I was like, ‘Let’s do that!’” Bella explained. “Getting in front of people really gets me super nervous, so this was really out of my comfort zone.”
