Doja Cat's crush on Joseph Quinn has been making headlines lately – but have you heard about her stranger crush on an animated character?
As well as fancying actors in the hit sci-fi series Stranger Things, it turns out the rapper also quite likes her animated characters too.
In an interview with MTV last year, the artist – real name Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini – was asked if she'd ever had a crush on an animated character.
"Yes," the 26-year-old replied. "Absolutely. Oh my God, are you kidding me?

"I have like 30 or something. Hopper from A Bug's Life – he does things to me."
Fair play, I don't want to kink shame; there are plenty of people browsing PornHub for anime (though I'm not sure how many search for 'angry grasshopper porn').
Responding to the clip, a lot of people seemed quite weirded out, while some were more sympathetic.
One person commented: "why is no one talking about her simping for the grasshopper in a bug's life."
Another said: "BRO WHAT *he does things to me* WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!??! am so confused."
A third added: "God, she's outing something I kept deep inside me for years.
"In my defence, he has the face/personality of a hot man."
Watch here:
Sadly for Doja, Hopper from A Bug's Life will always be unobtainable, but she recently made a play for Stranger Things star Joseph Quinn, sliding into the DMs of his co-star Noah Schnapp and asking: "Noah can you tell Joseph to hmu [hit me up]?"
Schnapp ended up sharing a screenshot of the exchange on TikTok, before deleting it, and Doja called him out on a TikTok live-stream
She said: "The Noah Schnapp thing. To be fair, this is like a kid. When you're that young, you make mistakes. You do dumb s**t. You say dumb s**t. You f**k up relationships with people."
She added that Schnapp posting 'a private conversation' made him 'so unbelievably socially unaware and whack'.
She went on: "You know what I mean? That's like borderline snake s**t. That's like weasel s**t."
While it may have been wrong of him to do it, many felt she had gone way over the top in her response, given Schnapp is only 17.
"Leave Noah alone," wrote one user, while another said, "UR GETTING MAD AT A KID."
