Rapper Doja Cat finds herself at the center of controversy after a series of outspoken remarks on social media, leaving her fans both hurt and angered. The “Say So” singer, known for her bold personality, dissed her own supporters, leading to a wave of backlash and ticket refund requests. Doja Cat Tells Fans She Doesn’t […]
The post Doja Cat Sparks Fan Backlash With Controversial Social Media Rants appeared first on SOHH.com.
After dropping Planet Her in 2021, Doja Cat was sitting pretty at the top of the music industry. The project brought her plenty of commercial success, including numerous awards and viral dances on TikTok. In the time since then, however, the California native has grown and changed considerably, making it clear to the world that her next LP is coming with an all-new persona from her.
Much of what Doja has been sharing on social media over the past few months has led to confusion, as it’s difficult to decipher between when the 27-year-old is being serious, or simply trolling. Over the past week, she’s been having a particularly difficult time in the online space, specifically in relation to her new romance with J. Cyrus, who’s previously been accused of grooming minors. In response to the backlash, Doja publicly renounced her followers who call themselves “Kittenz,” and even made it clear that the adoration her listeners feel for her isn’t mutual.

“My life, my rules, my style, my attitude,” the “Say So” singer wrote on Threads amid all the drama. “I wanna hear you say (I do love you guys) as usual you say to your fans,” one person replied, seeking comfort from their favourite artist. “I don’t though, ‘cuz I don’t even know y’all,” Doja coldly shot back. “And we don’t know you,” another user chimed in.
“But we have supported you through thick and thin. Mind you, you’d be NOTHING without us. You’d be working at a grocery store making songs on f**king garage band, miss high school drop out,” they ranted. This didn’t seem to phase Doja either, as she clapped back, “Nobody forced you. Idk why you’re talking to me like you’re my mother b**ch, you sound like a cr*zy person.”

The post Doja Cat Says She Doesn’t Love Fans, Sparks Concern With Bloody Instagram Posts appeared first on HotNewHipHop.
Doja Cat sometimes has a bit of a combative relationship with her fans. Over the weekend, for example, she took exception to her fans adopting the name “kitten” or “kittenz,” posting on Threads, “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.” Now, some fans are fighting back: Pop Crave notes that some Doja fan accounts on Twitter, some of which have tens of thousands of followers, are now deactivated, seemingly in protest.

This comes after one fan requested, “I wanna hear you say (I do love you guys) As usual you say to your fans,” and Doja replied, “i don’t though cuz i don’t even know yall.” Somebody else responded, “and we don’t know you. but we have supported you through thick and thin. mind you you’d be NOTHING without us. you’d be working at a grocery store making songs on f*cking garage band miss high school drop out…” Doja replied, “nobody forced you idk why you’re talking to me like you’re my mother b*tch you sound like a crazy person.”

Meanwhile, Doja reportedly blocked fans who criticized her over a relationship.
Each of music’s leading ladies’ fan bases has an adorable nickname. For Beyoncé, it’s the Beyhive. The Swifties are Taylor Swift’s most devoted supporters. For Nicki Minaj, the Barbz hold her down, whereas Bardi Gang back Cardi B. Hell, even Rihanna has her Navy cadets. However, Doja Cat doesn’t approve of her advocates dubbing themselves the Kittenz.
The “Attention” rapper took to social media to blast her fans for the nickname. According to screenshots captured by Pop Crave, the entertainer wrote, “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.”

When asked by a fan page if they could change their account handle, reportedly she replied, “Just delete the entire account and rethink everything. It’s never too late.”

One fan asked her to say that she still loves them, to which Doja Cat replied, “I don’t though cuz I don’t even know y’all.”

Doja Cat’s relationship with her fans has been rocky over the past year. In fact, earlier in the week, she was accused of blocking fans that publicly declared their disapproval of her rumored relationship with former Vine star J Cyrus.
Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
No matter how many times she’s been knocked down throughout he career, Doja Cat has always managed to pick herself back up again. The California-born beauty has often ranted about wanting to walk away from the industry due to the constant pressure that comes with fame. Nevertheless, she’s gearing up to give us the highly anticipated follow-up to 2021’s Planet Her album, most recently dropping off her “Attention” single. Reception to her latest release has been relatively good, however, Doja’s supporters are dropping like flies now that they’re aware of her new relationship.
Earlier in the summer, the “Say So” hitmaker was spotted on a yacht with J. Cyrus – a lesser-known creative with some harrowing allegations coming out against him. As social media users have been expressing their concern and sharing stories with Doja about their own negative experiences with her man, she’s reportedly been blocking them, likely to preserve her peace of mind.

“Sorry Doja Cat for letting [you] know [your] ma had abused and taken advantage of so many women,” a distraught Twitter user wrote along with a screenshot showing that they’re unable to see the 27-year-old’s profile. “Let’s not say how he was in mine and other minors at the time DMs’, but [thank you] for listening <3. It’s not like I was also a huge fan of yours.”
Besides that tweet, there are thousands of others pouring out, causing Doja to trend. “Doja Cat is crashing out over a man… A man who happens to be [a] sexual predator? Ladies… What y’all got going????” one bewildered person asked. “There ain’t no music good enough for an artist to act the way Doja Cat acts lol,” another chimed in, clearly growing tired of the constant drama.

The post Doja Cat Trends On Twitter As Backlash Rolls In For J. Cyrus Romance, Singer Reportedly Blocking Haters appeared first on HotNewHipHop.
On Doja Cat’s recent single, “Attention,” the rapper brags about how she continues to thrive despite all the haters. However, after some criticized the singer’s rumored relationship with J Cyrus, she wasn’t able to play it cool. According to some on social media, Doja Cat went as far as to allegedly block fans who criticized her over their coupling.
Although it was first reported in November that Doja was exclusively dating someone, it wasn’t until last month that her mystery beau was revealed. In images captured by TMZ, the pair are seen vacationing in Los Cabos, Mexico. After the photos hit social media, several users accused Cyrus of grooming and sexual misconduct. Fans of Doja rushed to her profile, urging her to end the relationship.

Supporters have continued to request that Doja Cat end things with Cyrus, often tagging her in posts with screenshots of the allegations. Now some people are implying that after doing that, they’ve been blocked by Doja.
Doja Cat goes off on fan who called her out for dating her alleged racist white streamer boyfriend J. Cyrus who was accused of abusing multiple women:

One person went as far as to accuse Doja Cat of reporting them for harassment. In the tweet, they wrote, “Doja cat blocked me earlier this month then dmed me this. She thinks I was trolling her predator boyfriend’s live stream and reported me to ‘cyber security.’”

Doja Cat hasn’t commented publicly about her rumored relationship or the current pushback.
Doja Cat became a household name thanks to pop-leaning hits like “Say So,” but that’s not the space the rapper/singer wants to be in anymore. In a new interview with V Magazine, Doja spoke about the “palatable, marketable, and sellable” music she’s made, and how she’s excited to be doing something different now.
Doja said:
“I have thrown fits my whole career because I have been making music that didn’t allow me to have a mental release. I have been making music that is palatable, marketable, and sellable, that has allowed me to be where I am. Now I am making music that allows me to express the way I feel about the world around me. […] These upcoming projects are going to be very different compared to everything I have done and I am excited about that. I do not care if people are not.”
She also noted, “I do not consider myself a rock star. I have made pop music. I’m currently making rap, soul, and R&B music with jazz elements. But this is a representation of how I feel. When I wear black, when I wear metal, or very scantily clad outfits… it’s all a representation of how angry, liberated, and sexual I am.”
Whether you like it or not, #DojaCat is here to stay.

As the saying goes, look but don’t touch. Apparently, this isn’t an ideology Doja Cat fans subscribe to. The “Attention” rapper took to social media to blast supporters for stealing the promotional posters for her latest single. As the entertainer advertises the song’s release nationwide, her team has plastered artwork in several areas with high foot traffic. But after they were put up, some of them have been going missing.
After Doja Cat learned about the thefts, she went online to vent her frustrations. In a statement shared to her Instagram Stories, she wrote, “Stealing my advertisements off of the walls around the city is super f*cked up. We don’t put those up for free, so keep that in mind.” She added, “You’re wack, and I don’t f*ck with you if you’re doing that. Use your f*cking brain.”

With Doja’s The Scarlet Tour kicking off in the fall and her forthcoming album rumored to hit streaming platforms before then, she’s keeping a close eye on every marketing expense.
While this isn’t the first time Doja has had a few fiery words for fans. In May, her off-kilter humor ended in calling those who didn’t find her jokes “dumb.”
Doja Cat is a woman with range – that’s something she’s made clear from the beginning of her career. Not only is the Californian capable of satisfying her musical audience with a range of genres, but we’ve also seen her pull off various looks. The more she grows and evolves, the more Doja has become comfortable with experimenting and taking fashion risks. We’ve seen this now, more than ever, as she prepares to share her follow-up to 2021’s Planet Her.
Many of the ensembles the “Woman” singer has put together lately have been eerie in nature. During an Instagram Live stream last month she donned bright red contacts that left her looking like a creature, and she’s experimented with various hair and makeup styles. On Friday (July 7), Doja shared a belated Fourth of July photo dump to her feed, but instead of hitting the lake with friends, she posed (sometimes topless) by the pool in a bright blonde wig.

“Male gays > male gaze 
,” she captioned her post, crediting @jpwphoto as her photographer. In some of the snaps, Doja sensually bites into a mustard-covered hot dog in a patriotic micro bikini. Others see the blonde beauty indulging in a popsicle while soaking up the sun, and later, squatting in the pool to keep cool.
Not long after, the creative star came through with a video previewing clips of Doja’a time on set that day. Apart from eating and posing, it looks like she also spent her day sipping on cocktails and relaxing in the water with friends.

While the 4th of July celebrations might have ended, it seems Doja Cat is keeping the party going — by sharing some stripped-down pics from a patriotic photoshoot to her Instagram.
Doja changes looks throughout, wearing an American flag bikini in one as she poses with a messy hot dog. The food theme then continues as she goes topless, replacing the bikini top with some whipped cream and cherry coverage instead.
There’s also some popsicle poses as the rapper sits outside — clearly with seductive intent. Doja truly looks incredible in the series of high-quality shots, rocking her sunglasses throughout quite a few of them and theming her makeup around the red, white, and blue colors of the holiday.
“male gays > male gaze,” she captioned the set, tagging her photographer, Jacob Webster.
Fans in the comments are loving the shoot too. “MOTHER IS MOTHERING,” one user wrote. Others, well, are going a different route — while still keeping things positive. “Look at me Doja, I’m the hot dog you want,” another IG person commented.
Doja previously has been active on social media over the past few weeks, as she also dropped some new tour dates for the winter and is gearing up to share new music.
