Doja Cat has confirmed that she will still open for The Weeknd on his forthcoming North American tour despite reiterating her recent plans to retire from music.The Weeknd is due to hit the road this July in support of his most recent album ‘Dawn FM’, which came out in January.

He’ll be joined at the shows by Doja Cat; the pair previously teamed up last year on ‘You Right’ from the latter’s ‘Planet Her’ record.Last week, however, Doja told her fans that she would be stepping away from music in a series of tweets she posted following a cancelled festival appearance. “I fuckin quit [and] I can’t wait to fucking disappear,” she wrote.She later apologised and dialled back on the claim, but has since doubled down on her initial vow to retire.

In response to a news article that was captioned “Ok so maybe @DojaCat isn’t retiring”, she tweeted: “Yes the fuck I am.”Taking to Twitter once again last night (March 31), Doja Cat gave another update to those who were unsure about the status of her forthcoming support slots with The Weeknd – assuring them that she’s “not bailing” on the tour.“But me not bailing doesn’t mean my ass isn’t gonna disappear right after,” Doja continued. “I still got shit I gotta do.

and a lot of y’all think cuz I post a fuckin picture it means I’m not out. Pic doesn’t = music GOOFY.”In a follow-up post, the rapper/singer promised that she “ain’t gone yet”.
