Doja Cat took a swipe at Sydney Sweeney's controversial American Eagle ad in a new TikTok video.
On Monday night, the 29-year-old singer-songwriter posted a video of herself mockingly reciting the lines Sweeney, 27, said in the ad with an exaggerated country accent.
Her post poked fun at the 'good jeans' commercial, which garnered a wave of backlash, as she joined a number of stars criticizing the Euphoria star's campaign.
Playing off of the slogan, the Grammy-winning musician, born Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, misspelled it in her caption and wrote: 'My jeans are blee.'
With an exaggerated southern drawl and expressions, she mocked what the actress said in the ad.
'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue.'

The Paint The Town Red hitmaker's post comes shortly after Sweeney sparked backlash with the American Eagle ad as a slew of critics slammed the controversial slogan.

Last week, the company rolled out its fall commercial lineup featuring the 27-year-old actress in various poses and scenarios with the tagline: 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans'
The obvious reference to her 'genes' didn't sit well with many people on social media, who accused the ads of being a racial dog whistle. Some woke critics have branded 'Nazi propaganda'
Since the ad campaign went viral, neither Sweeney nor American Eagle has spoken out publicly to address the controversy.
However, the backlash has benefited American Eagle as their shares soared over 10 percent, 'adding more than $200 million to the group's value—a godsend for a brand that had had a disastrous year on the stock market,' per Vanity Fair.

Despite the loud backlash, the double-entendre has seemingly resonated, with American Eagle stock up more than 11 percent since last Wednesday, with a notable spike the day the commercials were released.
