Fans at the Singapore leg of the Doja Cat Ma Vie World Tour were baffled when the American rapper led the crowd in a chant that sounded a lot like “Wok Hey”.
Cantonese for “breath of the wok”, a term for the smoky aftertaste of stir-fried dishes, it is also the name of a popular local stir-fry brand.
Doja Cat’s one-day Singapore stop on Dec 10 saw TikToker @Leeshuhadah reacting as she awkwardly joined in the chant, a moment netizens dubbed “the confusion was so loud”.
“Doja Cat Obsessed with ‘Wok Hey'”, she wrote, adding that the singer “forces Singapore crowd to pay tribute by chanting”. The TikToker also admitted that she had no idea what they were even supposed to be chanting.
