The likelihood that the 28-year-old LA rapper had actually been following the Euros is probably slim (she’s been pretty busy with a world tour, after all). But this is England, and even if you don’t do football, football is going to do you anyway, which Doja discovered when her set – the last of the day – was somewhat controversially moved forward to a 7pm finish, to allow festival-goers to leave in time to watch England’s final against Spain.
