Fans soon jumped into the comment section of the post, sharing their opinions about Doja Cat's performance. Below are some of their reactions:

"Absolutely love how animated she is here. Doja Cat reminds me of Nicki when she performance as Roman, so much energy and effort put into this performance. Imma give her a 10/10.", noted a fan.

"This is a good performance but I’ll never not find this era to be a cheap cash grab like why would she name the grift and then do it again 😭😭", stated another.

Others also chimed in:

"This gives me goosebumps, electric strong stage presence . Doja Cat reminds me of Prince & Annie Lennox (stage presence) in one.", commented a netizen.
