As Doja Cat teased her new album, Scarlet, on social media, on August 29, 2023, the artist was slammed by many social media users. They claimed that the cover had too much resemblance with German metal band Chaver’s Of Gloom which is also due for release on the same day as Doja Cat’s album, which is September 22, 2023.

However, Doja Cat soon replaced the old cover, after many highlighted the issue. Allegedly, the cover was designed by the same artist, Dusty Ray.
The initial cover of Scarlet was exactly the same as Chaver’s Of Gloom except for the change in the shape of the blood drop, and the positioning of the spider’s legs.

However, Doja Cat has now unveiled the new cover for Scarlet, but the spiders remain intact. As the artist received a lot of criticism for the fiasco, she was prompt in responding to a social media user, who talked about the resemblance in the two covers, which are to be released on the same date.
