*Doja Cat is getting real about the price of fame.
The chart-topping artist graces the April 2026 cover of Vogue and sat down with the publication for a video interview that ventured far beyond music, touching on mental health, isolation, and the emotional complexity of life at the top.
One of the more surprising revelations was just how structured her approach to mental wellness has become. Doja confirmed she sees a therapist twice weekly, a commitment she connects directly to the unique brand of loneliness that shadows her on the road. Being surrounded by a crew of people she genuinely values does not erase the emotional gap that comes with those relationships being professional ones.
“I want to be around people and I don’t like to be lonely,” she said. “My job is very lonely and it comes with being around people who you love. But to be fair, I mean, you are employing these people. It doesn’t mean they love you any less. Doesn’t mean that you love them any less. It just means that there is a barrier. And that is something that’s really hard to come to terms with in certain moments.”

That sense of disconnection follows her off the stage as well. Doja noted that her living situation keeps her physically distanced from the people she is closest to, a reality that compounds her feelings of isolation. When it comes to building friendships inside the entertainment world, she finds herself torn.
“It’s incredibly lonely. I’m lonely,” she said. “I don’t want to have friends in the industry. Sometimes I try. Sometimes I’m like, well, why wouldn’t I? I mean, like, I can relate to them, but it’s something that I’m going to struggle with, and I’ve got to figure it out. I don’t think it’ll ever be fully figured out, but it’s just something that I got to understand better in order to change things.”
Her therapy sessions frequently circle back to relationships and the walls she has built around herself. Doja described a significant difficulty with trusting others — men in particular, though she acknowledged the pattern reaches further than that.
“I talk about men with my therapists a lot and I think like I have a really big trust issue with guys… honestly [it] goes for everyone, but being vulnerable with certain people, like I tried to do it on TikTok recently and be sincere. I think sincerity is really hard for me at certain moments. And my fans can attest to that. Like I think a lot of people have witnessed me in moments where I’m not being sincere. And I think it only does really good things for me when I can express myself.”
Asked about her reputation as a “serial dater,” Doja cut straight to the point with characteristic wit: “I’m 30, so I’m ovulating and horny.”
