Doja Cat is a "huge hermit".
The 25-year-old rap star - who has shot to international fame over recent years - admits she doesn't really enjoy going out very much.
Asked if people approach her when she's out, Doja said: "People do, but it’s not that often. And also, I’m a huge hermit. I don’t want to leave my house."
Doja enjoyed significant success with her second album, 'Hot Pink', which was released in 2019.
But because of the COVID-19 pandemic and her own reluctance to go out, she struggles to gauge the true impact of her success.
She told Interview magazine: "I haven’t been out in the world yet and seen people screaming and going crazy. I’ve had fans at shows that were going crazy, and one who chased me, but I still feel normal.
"Also, COVID didn’t let me understand what 'Hot Pink' did for my fans, because I had to cancel the tour. None of that was able to happen, so I still don’t really know."
Doja wasn't surrounded by people who truly believed in her talents in the early stages of her career.
But the chart-topping star - who released her debut album, ' Amala', in 2018 - is now determined to enjoy herself in the music industry, in spite of the pitfalls she faces.
Asked what advice she would like to give to young artists, she replied: "You have to have people around you who love you, and sometimes it’s not always like that for me.
"I didn’t always have people around me who loved me, but I was still making music. But they didn’t believe in me.
"Just keep doing what you want to do and enjoy it."
