American rapper Doja Cat recently shot actor Timothy Salame, who has been embroiled in controversy for denigrating ballet and opera.
Doja Cat said on her TikTok account on the 8th (local time), "Opera is an art with a deep history of 400 years and ballet is 500 years. "It is a very brazen attitude to say 'no one is interested' in such art in front of the camera," he said.
"If you go to the opera theater right now, the audience will be full of audiences and you will watch it with a quiet attitude," he said. "The field is a tremendously amazing art genre. It should be beautiful and respected," he stressed.

"They go to the practice room every morning," he said. "It has nothing to do with the industry having a hard time. It is by no means (the public has lost interest in ballet and opera). The same goes for you and for me. I want you to learn this," he said, pointing out Timothy Chalamet's remarks.
Earlier, Timothy Chalamet said in an interview, "I don't want to work (for opera or ballet) just in the name of maintaining art. No one is interested in the genre anymore," he said, facing criticism.
In response, the Metropolitan Opera released a video of the members passionately preparing for the performance and expressed displeasure, saying, "This is a video for you, Timothy Chalamet."
Grammy Award winner Isabel Leonard also pointed out, "It is shocking that a seemingly successful artist can have such a narrow view of art," and mezzo-soprano Dipa Johnny also expressed regret, saying, "It's really disappointing."
