2022 NAACP Image Awards: 5 of the Hottest Musical Performances From ‘Outstanding Duo, Group Collaboration’ Nominee Doja Cat
It wasn’t too long ago when Doja Cat became a viral sensation after creating the hilarious 2020 single “Mooo!” However, Doja’s interest in the entertainment industry started in her teens as she would routinely release music on the music platform SoundCloud before her life-changing online moment.
She’s only 26-years-old but is one of the hardest people in the business. Her efforts and contributions to the music industry earned her several nominations over the years, including one at the 53rd Annual NAACP Image Awards, which are set to take place on Saturday, February 26, hosted by Anthony Anderson.
