TikTok crochet artist Naomi Minor impressed Doja Cat and her fanbase with a crazed and creative crochet plushie of the American rapper and singer.
Minor is a visual artist and expert crocheter who has her own online store featuring cartoon and celebrity characters with looks inspired by the Raving Rabbids video game. Premiering in 2009, the Rabbids characters are portrayed as alien, anthropomorphic rabbits with two prominent buck teeth.
In the video game, these characters rave and scream in gibberish. This inspiration led Minor to create unique and quirky plushies of Disney Princesses, including Ranzel (Princess Rapunzel), Tia (Princess Tiana), Arie (Princess Ariel), and Moa (Princess Moana).
Minor recently created a plushie fit for the controversial beauty of Doja Cat, who has been known for shaving off her hair and eyebrows on Instagram Live, donning feline-inspired runway looks, and posting monstrous tattoos on her body.
The artist has also made headlines for her treatment of her fan base, known as the Kittenz, downplaying COVID-19 as the flu, and using racist and homophobic slurs. Her viral songs include "Say So," "Paint The Town Red", and "Boss Bitch" from the Harley Quinn featured movie Birds of Prey.
Sure to raise eyebrows, Minor wrote in the caption about her latest creation:
āThis has to be one of my favorite plushies so far! What celebrity should I crochet next?ā
In the viral TikTok video, Minor uses the āIām Amanda, Iām sixā audio from the "Playdate with a Predator" PSA to debut her Doja Cat plushie. The doll is dressed in red lingerie, covered in a white t-shirt and chains, with a removable black skirt that Minor pulls off.
You can watch the video below:

Minor also posted the making of the adorable plushie with the singerās tattoos crocheted into the dollās back and arms. Messing up only once, it took the crocheter about ten and a half hours to create.
The āMaking of Doja Plushieā video can be seen below:
@naomicartoons Doja Cat commented on my previous video which is crazyyy! Doja, I wanna send you your own personalized plushie!!!š·ļø (This specific one has already been sold and shipped out weeks ago)
With 4.8 million likes, Minorās Plushie of Doja Cat caught the attention of not only the Kittenz, but the inspiration herself. Doja Cat reposted the video and commented:

Minor replied that the doll is a custom order and offered to remake it:
āOmg!!! It was a custom order that someone had requested but I would LOVE to remake it for you!!!ā¤ļøā
According to Minorās website, it takes a custom order up to 4-5 weeks, while pre-made plushies ship within a week. The pre-made plushies can cost $200 to $400. So, fans might have to wait a few weeks for the custom-made Doja Plushie to be united with the singer.
In the meantime, Minor received praise for her deranged depiction of the singer:
