“I named the song ‘Balut’ because it signifies a bird that’s being eaten alive,” Doja Cat wrote in an Instagram Story on Sunday.
“It’s a metaphor for Twitter stans (obsessive fans) and the death of Twitter toxicity. The beginning of ‘X’ and the end of ‘tweets.’”
But social media users have pointed out that the dish is cooked and doesn't involve a live bird.
“Eaten alive? Who eats balut alive? Girl, you don’t need to shame my culture if you don’t understand it,” said a user on X.
Posts about the new single on X had a note added to them indicating: "Readers added context they thought people might want to know."
"Balut does not signify a 'bird being eaten alive'. It’s a food in Filipino culture, often seen as a delicacy. Balut is a fertilised bird egg (usually a duck) which is incubated for period, and then steamed. The contents are eaten directly from the shell."

Lock thread, ban OP, stream Scarlet.

“the death of Twitter toxicity. The beginning of ‘X’ and the end of ‘tweets.’”

I genuinely don't believe these people are real

That’s cool op but Pinangalanan ko ang kantang 'Balut' dahil ito ay nagpapahiwatig ng isang ibon na kinakain ng buhay," isinulat ni Doja Cat sa isang Instagram Story noong Linggo.
"Ito ay isang metapora para sa Twitter stans (obsessive fans) at ang pagkamatay ng Twitter toxicity. Ang simula ng 'X' at ang pagtatapos ng 'mga tweet.'"
Ngunit itinuro ng mga gumagamit ng social media na ang ulam ay luto at hindi nagsasangkot ng isang buhay na ibon.
“Kinain ng buhay? Sino ang kumakain ng balut ng buhay? Babae, hindi mo kailangang ipahiya ang aking kultura kung hindi mo ito naiintindihan," sabi ng isang gumagamit sa X.
Ang mga post tungkol sa bagong single sa X ay may idinagdag na tala sa kanila na nagsasaad: "Nagdagdag ang mga mambabasa ng konteksto na inakala nilang maaaring gustong malaman ng mga tao."
"Ang balut ay hindi nangangahulugan ng isang 'ibon na kinakain ng buhay'. Ito ay isang pagkain sa kulturang Pilipino, kadalasang nakikita bilang isang delicacy. Ang Balut ay isang fertilized bird egg (kadalasan ay isang pato) na incubated for period, at pagkatapos ay steamed. Ang mga nilalaman ay kinakain nang direkta mula sa shell.

@Tubig

Is there a way I can mute all Doja Cat related posts on this site

Can you seriously not understand why Filipino people might be mad at a celebrity falsely suggesting that their national cuisine involves eating live baby chickens? And then basing a hit song off this entirely false allegation?
