Doja Cat has been slammed after she made Australian fans wait for more than three hours for a performance, only to walk off stage after just 15 minutes, never to be seen again.

The controversial pop star’s appearance at Melbourne’s Ms Collins nightclub on Sunday night was cut short after just three songs when she told the crowd she was losing her voice.

The venue was entirely sold out, and fans had paid anywhere between $75-$130 for tickets for the much-hyped one-night-only show.

One fan told Herald Sun the show was a big “let down”.

“I would have appreciated if Doja Cat had communicated her situation earlier in the night and potentially even offered to DJ her own songs,” he said.

“I think the crowd would have appreciated at least seeing her on stage for more than 15 minutes. It was a let down”.

Another fan tweeted: “Three songs and so much money later I’m heartbroken”.

“Waited four hours at Ms Collins for Doja and she only sang for 10 mins. I’m so f***ing pissed off,” said a second on Twitter.

While one annoyed club-goer wrote on TikTok: “The fact she hasn’t offered refunds is so disrespectful to us”.

Despite the promise of an intimate evening with the pop star, instead, fans were treated to just Agora Hills, Take Me Dancing and Jealous Type before she left the stage.

It comes after Doja kicked off her Australian tour at Perth’s RAC Arena last weekend.

After the show, Doja took to TikTok to reveal she was going on vocal rest.

“I want to say thank you for last night, that was f**king amazing … I will be taking care of whatever the f**k happened to my throat last night,” she said in the clip, which she captioned: “Perth was litty”.

It’s not the first time the singer has experienced backlash Down Under.

She copped complaints from New Zealand fans about the lack of outfit changes in her set, which led to her calling them out on social media.

“I’m not your f**king costume monkey, I move at my own pace and break my f**king back out there every night so you can keep your opinion to yourself,” Doja wrote on Twitter.

“You are not the artist, you are the watcher,” she added.
