Ella Langley claps back at Doja Cat’s mockery

Ella Langley has subtly responded to Doja Cat's recent claim that she doesn't know who the country star is.

During a recent appearance on the Sundae Conversation podcast, 30-year-old Doja Cat was asked by host Caleb Pressley if she's an “Ella's fella,” to which she replied, “I don’t know what that is.”

When Pressley asked further, “Do you like Ella Langley?” she answered again, “I don't know what that is.”

Langley took the jab in stride, referencing the dig in an Instagram post which featured a number of videos and photos of herself, captioned, “Ella Langley? What is that?”

In the brief interview, Doja Cat repeated Langley's name before Pressley recommended she check out her music.

Her reaction divided fans, with some appreciating her authenticity, and others speculating that she was just being ignorant.

Langley's song Choosin' Texas has seen unprecedented success, spending 19 weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.

The feat has made the songstress the longest-running solo female artist atop the chart for a non-holiday song.

Langley grew up one of four children in Hope Hull, Alabama and her family sometimes struggled financially.

Langley's aunt, Ruth Meek, recently told the Daily Mail they had little money for entertainment or formal music lessons.

“When you're that poor and you don't have access to much of anything and no one has a car, the family just made music together,” Meek explained.

After being homeschooled for years, Langley enrolled in Hooper Academy in Hope Hull and found a musical mentor in her high school guitar teacher Maury “Coach Pop” Popwell.

“She could not play very well when she started to come to me,” he recalled to the Daily Mail. “She worked and worked at it. She was just one of these people that she wouldn't take no for an answer,” he said of Ella Langley’s learning years.
