The "Scarlet" singer turns 28 today (October 21).

October 21st is a big day in terms of celebrity birthdays. Kim Kardashian steps into her 43rd year today, meanwhile Kanye West's other ex, Amber Rose turns 40. In the younger generation of entertainers, we've got Doja Cat celebrating her 28th trip around the Sun. The fashionista kicked off her weekend with an appearance at Usher's Las Vegas Residency, during which she perfectly matched the R&B crooner's energy as he serenaded her.

As Doja – born Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini – continues to turn up with her loved ones, we're joining in spirit by highlighting one of her biggest hits. In 2019, "Say So" had social media and radio stations in a chokehold. Since then, the California native has only further solidified her status as a superstar with more tracks like "Woman," "Kiss Me More," "Ain't "S**t," and "Get Into It."

Doja Cat's "Say So" Became a TikTok Favourite

While those songs, all from Planet Her saw Doja leaning into her pop side, for 2023's LP, Scarlet, she seemed to take those criticizing her rap skills seriously. On titles like "Balut" she channelled her inner Griselda, letting her signature raspy voice tantalize listeners while she rhymed about the ups and downs that come with living a life in the spotlight. Shortly after she wraps up her 28th birthday celebrations, Dlamini will be headed out on tour with Ice Spice and Doechii as her opening acts. We can't wait to see what they have in store, but in the meantime, we'll be revisiting her old classics.

Quotable Lyrics:

Let me check my chest, my breath right quick
He ain't never seen it in a dress like this
He ain't never even been impressed like this
Prolly why I got him quiet on the set like zip
