Doja Cat Performs 'Jealous Type' With Kenny G at 2025 MTV VMAs

Doja Cat opened the 2025 MTV VMAs with a dynamic, '80s-inspired performance of her new single 'Jealous Type,' featuring saxophone legend Kenny G. The performance, which incorporated retro visuals and choreographed dance moves, marked the song's live debut and highlighted the forthcoming release of her fifth album, 'Vie,' scheduled for September 26. 'Jealous Type,' produced by Y2K and Jack Antonoff, has been described as a pop-driven evolution from her previous rap-centric album, 'Scarlet.' Doja Cat, a three-time VMA performer and 2021 host, also won an award in the Best K-Pop category for her feature on Lisa's 'Born Again.' Critics and fans have noted the performance's nod to iconic '80s pop figures, with comparisons to Janet Jackson, and praised the natural creative synergy between Doja Cat and Antonoff in shaping her new sound. The 2025 VMAs, held at UBS Arena in New York, featured a diverse lineup of performers, with Doja Cat’s energetic act standing out as a highlight of the night.
