You will find that most of these phrases show up on TV or in different songs. Rap music is well known for its slang use and a variety of unique terms.
But have you ever heard someone say or sing about “doja”? It simply refers to marijuana or weed.
In this article, we find out what exactly doja means and other fascinating weed terms you might have never heard of.
What Does Doja Mean?
The term “doja” simply means cannabis, weed or marijuana. Some people use doja as an overall word to describe weed, while others say doja when refering to high-quality weed.
Doja is simply pronounced /doh-jah/. The origins of the term are unknown but it likely comes from the music industry where singers and musicians first used it.
Doja In Songs
Doja is a popular word used in rap music and hip hop to describe marijuana and weed.
Rappers, such as Kanye West, Luniz, Russ, Kendrick Lamar, K Camp and Doja Cat regularly use the noun in their song lyrics.
In the song “Hold my liquor”, Kanye West sings “You love me when I’m hungover, even when I blow doja.”
Future also references doja weed in their song “Purple Reign”: “Big cup of syrup washing down all my doja”.
Doja Artists
There are also musicians and other artists who use the word doja in their stage name and artistic persona.
One of the most famous artists with doja in their name is “Doja Cat”. Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, also known as Doja Cat, is a popular singer and American rap artist.
Her pseudonym comes from her time as a teenager when she used to be heavily involved in weed culture, smoking cannabis regularly.
When she started rapping, she adopted doja as part of her artist name because she felt it sounded like a girl’s name.
However, Doja Cat changed her name in 2021 as a move to broaden her reputation as a singer. She didn’t want to be associated with weed culture going forward.
