Doja Cat has sent a loud and clear message to fans that she doesn’t want them bringing their children to any of her concerts.

Without being prompted, the American rapper and singer lashed out at parents on Twitter, telling them that her shows are not designed for kids to be in the audience.

“Idk who the f*** you think this is but I don’t make music for children so leave your kids at home motherf***er,” tweeted the 28-year-old, whose real name is Amala Dlamini.

“Im rapping about c** why are you bringing your offspring to my show,” she continued.

In yet another follow-up tweet, she then referred to children as “mistakes”.

“[I’m] Rappin about eatin d**k and pissin on his v-cut, leave your mistake at home.”

This isn’t the first time Doja Cat took aim at her followers on social media. Last year, she fired up after copping backlash for refusing to tell her fans she “loved” them. Her stance saw her lose a significant amount of followers on Instagram, but she embraced the loss.

“Seeing all these people unfollow makes me feel like I’ve defeated a large beast that’s been holding me down for so long,” she wrote on the platform at the time.

“It feels like I can reconnect with the people who really matter and love me for who i am and not for who i was. I feel free.”

Doja Cat’s recent no-kids rant comes one week after Aussie-based American comedian Arj Barker divided fans when he booted a mother and her baby from his gig at the Melbourne Comedy Festival.

Mother-of-three Trish Faranda took her seven-month-old baby to the show but said in a later interview that she intentionally booked seats with her sister and a friend near at the side of the theatre so she could make a quick exit if her baby got too noisy.

Speaking to 3AW Radio, Ms Faranda insisted her baby “wasn’t screaming” and hit back at critics who questioned why she took a kid to a “15 plus” comedy show.

“She wasn’t screaming, she was just being a baby, she gurgled a little bit, she had a bit of a whinge... nothing loud,” she said, adding that “10 or 12” other people – mostly women and mothers – joined her in walking out of the theatre in solidarity.

In a statement released amid the controversy, Barker explained that he “politely” told Ms Faranda the baby couldn’t stay as the newborn as “disrupting” his performance.

“I felt bad about the whole situation and stated this on the night more than once. I offered her a refund. Theatre staff should not have seated a baby in my audience in the first place.”

During his own interview with 3AW, Barker said tried to clear his name amid some backlash from fans.

“It doesn’t take much to distract an audience, and I’ve worked on these jokes and there’s timing and there’s pauses, and it’s just not going to work with the baby,” he said on-air.

“I made the decision, it wasn’t easy, it was really awkward for me. I said ‘I’m really sorry but the baby can’t stay’.”

Barker said he placed the blame with promoters for allowing the woman to enter the venue despite there being a 15-plus age limit advertised online.
