The Planet Her universe gets an extension when Doja Cat’s feline companion is held hostage by a space alien

Things are shaking up in the intergalactic universe of Planet Her as Doja Cat finds her feline companion Starscream taken hostage by an enemy space alien in the music video for “Get Into It (Yuh).”

Directed by Mike Diva, the video sends Doja Cat on a rescue mission with an elite crew of dancers. Following her lead, the team distracts the enemy defenders with a wall-to-wall twerk routine while she reflects shots off of her body armor.

Doja Cat outsourced an actor cat to portray her pet in the video, leaving her actual real-life companions Alex and Ray out of the mix. Instead, she had her team hold a casting call where she picked a “funny-looking one with really dirty, crazy eyes,” she told Rolling Stone.

The video pokes fun at half of the inspiration for her stage name — the only half that’s still representative of the person behind the artist. Doja Cat is both a nod to her love of felines and her past love of weed, which she has since stopped smoking.

Doja isn’t the biggest fan of her stage name anymore (“My image was the pothead hippie girl, and I’m not that”) or the easy shots that come with it (“[SNL] made a joke the other day that Doja Cat sounds like a Pokémon. And, you know, it didn’t hurt my feelings, but it definitely hurt my feelings”), but it’s too late to go back now. She might as well have fun with it.

Monaleo has steadily built a strong connection with listeners over the past few years. She is an MC known for sharp lyricism and a high level of energy that shows up on every record. 2026 is shaping up to be an important year for her, with growing speculation that a larger project may be coming soon. That idea feels even more likely with the arrival of her latest release, “Crossroads Freestyle.” The brief, one minute track landed on YouTube on Tuesday and has already been getting a lot of positive reactions. Once again, Monaleo leans into her confidence, delivering tight verses over a smooth, consistent beat. It is a solid release that fans will definitely want to tap into.

Release Date: April 14, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from Crossroads Freestyle

Getting cake by the pound, I'm greater than britain
I'm greater than Alex on top like a attic (Uh-uh)
You pushing for Clipse I'm peeping a Malice
But fear ain't a factor I'm up for the challenge
The queen of my palace from Houston, not Dallas
