Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, a.k.a. Doja Cat, has sparked dating rumors with Joseph Quinn after photos of the two together in London surfaced online. The photo, first shared on Instagram by user @deuxmoi on Sunday, August 18, 2024, shows them at an Osees rock concert at Dingwalls, a pub in Camden, with Quinn's arms wrapped around Doja.
A separate post by the same account shows the alleged couple walking hand in hand through a street in the city.
As the photos went viral, internet users were quick to express their excitement. One user even referenced a 2022 tweet by the rapper, in which she wrote, "joseph quinn fine as sh*t," stating:
"Oh! She finally got him."
Many were elated that Doja Cat was finally with someone she deserved. Others continued to point out that she "manifested" the alleged development through her 2022 post.
"Major upgrade from whatever that was she was with, hoping that's really her in the picture though," one user wrote.
"finally doja getting the man she deserves," @beyinceknowle added.
"she manifested like crazy huh," another commented.
Others brought up the Agoura Hills artist's chat with Noah Schnapp in which she asked him to set her up with Quinn. Schnapp publicly shared the conversation online, much to Doja's ire.
"doja karma is so insane because noah schnapp is cancelled up his *ss AND she still got the man," a fan remarked.
"OH SCHNAPP!" one wrote.
"oh she found her guy, i’m so happy for her," another added.
"That’s like borderline snake sh*t" - Doja Cat about Noah Schnapp's chat reveal
Doja Cat was first linked with Joseph Quinn after her Instagram chats with Noah Schnapp surfaced. In July 2022, the rapper asked Noah Schnapp, then 17, if he could ask his Stranger Things co-star, Joseph, to reach out to her. She then asked, "wait no. Does he have a gf?" This prompts Noah to reply:
"LMAOO slide into his dms."
The Grammy-winning artist replied she didn't have his Twitter or Instagram DM to slide into, prompting the Charlie Brown actor to share Quinn's IG handle. Noah later posted their exchange on TikTok, much to Doja's anger.
In an Instagram live stream, the rapper criticized Noah for sharing their private conversation, calling it "unbelievably socially unaware and whack." She continued:
"That's like borderline snake sh*t, that's like weasel sh*t."
She explained that she didn't think he would share information that she wasn't comfortable sharing. Doja Cat also acknowledged that Noah Schnapp is a teenager and that they are bound to "f*ck up."
"When you're that young, you make mistakes. You do dumb sh*t. I'm like trying to be super fair. You say dumb sh*t, you f*ck up relationships with people. You make mistakes. You're supposed to do stuff like that so that you know not to do it in the future. I did my share of f*ck-ups so that I don't f*ck-up again."
At the time, internet users were quick to call out Doja for asking a kid to set her up. However, the two soon made up.
Neither Doja Cat nor Joseph Quinn have confirmed the dating rumors.
