Doja Cat has made her way into the headlines after posting a controversial story on Instagram where she said that she feels “free” after a large number of people unfollowed her. The singer lost almost half a million followers on Instagram in a month, as she called her fans “creepy,” and asked them to “get a job.”
That apart, she also hurt fan sentiment after she criticized her fandom name, “kittenz,” in a tweet last month:
"My fans don’t name themselves sh*t. If you call yourself a 'kitten' or f*cking 'kittenz' that means you need to get off your phone and get a job and help your parents with the house.”
In the aftermath of such statements, Doja Cat lost a huge chunk of her followers. She then posted a message claiming how she feels that she has “defeated a large beast.”
Additionally, in July 2023, Doja Cat also blocked a number of her fans, who criticized her for having an alleged relationship with actor J Cyrus. At the time, many asked her to break up with Cyrus, as he had been reportedly accused of s*xual misconduct and also had “grooming” allegations against him.
