As unlikely as it may seem, some celebrities have managed to regain public's trust and maintain their careers in the industry after facing backlash over their controversial remarks or behaviors.

AceShowbiz - Doja Cat had just gained global fame when she was almost canceled in 2020 following racism allegations. In May of that year, her 2015 song titled "Dindu Nuffin" resurfaced. "Dindu Nuffin" is an alt-right term used to ridicule African-American victims of police brutality who claim they are innocent. She quickly apologized for it, but immediately came under fire again after it was revealed that she allegedly joined racist chat rooms. Though the raptress lost some of her social media followers due to the controversies, her fans never lost interest in her music.
It became apparent when Doja dropped her third studio album "Planet Her" in June 2021. The record debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and went on to become the biggest R&B album of the year and sixth best-selling album overall. The 27-year-old also earned eight Grammy nominations thanks to the album and won one of them for Best Pop Duo Performance through the song "Kiss Me More" feat. SZA.
