Doja Cat "Woman"
Courtesy PhotoDoja Cat continues to expand her Planet Her cinematic universe with a music video for “Woman,” released Friday (Dec. 3).
The video sees Doja assuming the role of a mythical creature to help queen of the kingdom — played by Teyana Taylor — regain control of the throne from the men trying to steal it away. Taylor conjures up Doja as a distraction to stop the men from taking over the kingdom with a series of sensual dance moves, hypnotizing gazes and outfits designed for a double take. The video concludes with Doja dressed as an earthy goddess, becoming one with a tree as her efforts prove to be successful.
Following the release of the video, Taylor shared stunning behind-the-scenes images of her and Doja Cat posing in their costumes from the shoot to her Instagram account, with Taylor in the queen’s regalia while Doja wears the costume of the mythical creature she plays.
“Woman” was the fourth single released from Planet Her on Oct. 1. Planet Her is proving to be a commercial success for Doja Cat, with the album hitting the No. 2 spot on the Billboard 200. “Kiss Me More,” featuring SZA, and “Need to Know” have both charted in the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Perry Farrell has released another public apology following an on-stage confrontation involving his bandmate Dave Navarro.
The Jane's Addiction frontman was involved in a physical altercation with guitarist Dave Navarro last year during a live performance, an incident that prompted the band to cancel their reunion tour and eventually led to their split.
“I'd like to address what happened on stage last year,” Perry, 66, said in a statement shared across both his personal Instagram account and Jane's Addiction’s official page. “I've reflected on it and know I didn't handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.”
He went on to admit that he did not meet fan expectations and described himself as deeply remorseful toward everyone impacted by the incident.
“Jane's Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades. The band, the songs, the patrons, and the impact that we've had on music and culture mean more to me than any words I could ever possibly write down,” he shared.
“My aim has always been to give our audience the best possible show, something real, honest and positive. In Boston, we fell short of that, and I'm truly sorry to everyone who was impacted.”
Jane's Addiction also issued its own statement regarding the altercation, which ultimately led to the group’s remaining members filing a lawsuit against Perry alleging assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract.
“Today we are here to announce that we have come together one last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane's Addiction will remain the work the four of us created together,” the band wrote, signaling that the group would not move forward with Perry. “We now look forward to the future as we embark on our separate musical and creative endeavors.”
