Doja Cat and Sydney Sweeney.TikTok/GettyDoja Cat is seemingly trolling Sydney Sweeney over her controversial American Eagle ad, for which the actress faced backlash online.In a now-viral TikTok video, the rapper delivers the “Euphoria” star’s lines from the ad but uses an exaggerated backwoods accent.
