FEATURED EMBEDEDITORIAL BIOGRAPHY & ARTISTIC LEGACY
Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, born October 21, 1995, in Los Angeles, California, first went viral in 2018 with the self-produced internet phenomenon "Mooo!" before "Say So" (2020) climbed to number one on the Billboard Hot 100—the first female rap collaboration to top the chart in the social-media era. "Planet Her" (2021) debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, spawned "Kiss Me More" (feat. SZA) and "Need to Know," and earned the Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Her artistic pivot on "Scarlet" (2023) showcased a harder, more aggressive rap aesthetic that earned widespread critical praise. She is one of the few artists equally celebrated for her humor, visual creativity, and technical rap ability. Doja has won three Grammy Awards, maintained a Spotify monthly listener count exceeding 50 million, and generated multiple viral cultural moments that demonstrate her rare ability to simultaneously be an internet native and a legitimate mainstream commercial force.
