Doja Cat Criticized for Alienating 'Kittenz' Fanbase with Disparaging Remarks

Doja Cat faces backlash after making harsh comments to fans.

Doja Cat has faced backlash from fans after making harsh comments on the Threads app. The singer rejected the nickname "Kittenz" that her fanbase had adopted and criticized fans for using it. She told them to get off their phones, get jobs, and help their parents with household chores. Doja also called out fans who used her birth name as their username, finding it creepy.

Furthermore, Doja upset her followers when she refused to tell fans that she loved them. She responded to a request by saying she didn't even know her fans. When fans pointed out their years of support, she dismissed them and called them crazy. As a result, many fan accounts deleted their profiles, and some fans requested refunds for tickets to Doja's upcoming tour.

Doja Cat rose to fame in 2018 with her viral music video "Mooo!" on TikTok. However, she has faced multiple controversies throughout her career. In 2018, she received backlash for using a homophobic slur in a tweet about Tyler, the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt. She has also been criticized for downplaying COVID-19 and being involved in a chatroom with racist conversations.

Some fans speculate that Doja may not want to be famous anymore and is intentionally pushing her fanbase away. In March 2022, she threatened to quit the music industry after clashing with fans in Paraguay. Despite her previous statements, she has continued to release music and expressed in a later interview that she still wants to make music.

Overall, Doja Cat's recent comments and behavior have caused a rift between her and her fans, leading to disappointment and frustration among her once-loyal supporters.
