Doja Cat Responds To Backlash Over ‘Kittenz’ Comment, Feels ‘Free’ Despite Losing Followers

Doja Cat finds solace in losing nearly 200,000 Instagram followers, signaling a sense of liberation amidst the fallout from her recent clash with fans. The 27-year-old rapper experienced a significant backlash after she openly criticized her supporters for adopting the moniker of “kittenz”. Despite this, Doja Cat is untroubled by the reported 180,000 fans who chose to unfollow her, stating that it feels like conquering a formidable challenge.

A Defiant Sense of Freedom

In an intriguing turn of events, Doja Cat shared on her Instagram Story, “Seeing all these people unfollow me makes me feel like I’ve defeated a large beast that’s been holding me down for so long. It feels like I can reconnect with the people who truly matter and love me for who I am, not who I was.”

The rapper, also known by her real name Amala Dlamini, conveyed her newfound sense of freedom by adding, “I feel free.”

The ‘Kittenz’ Controversy

The controversy ignited when Doja Cat expressed her disapproval of her fans referring to themselves as “kittenz”. In a tweet from the previous month, she asserted, “My fans don’t get to name themselves st. If you call yourself a ‘kitten’ or fking ‘kittenz’, that means you need to get off your phone, get a job, and help your parents with the house.”

Further fueling the discord, when asked by a fan account (@thekittenzweb) what to change their username to, Doja Cat’s response was sharp and uncompromising: “Just delete the entire account and rethink everything. It’s not too late.”

Disconnection from Fans

The ‘Say So’ hitmaker made waves by insisting that she could not possibly love her fans due to her limited knowledge of them. She even responded to a fan’s request to express her affection with a cold retort, “I don’t though cuz I don’t even know y’all.”

In a particularly heated exchange, Doja Cat labeled another fan as a “crazy person” after they passionately defended their support for her despite her comments. The fan’s message read, “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 garage band, miss high school drop out…”

Doja Cat’s fiery reply was unapologetic, “Nobody forced you idk why you’re talking to me like you’re my mother. B**ch, you sound like a crazy person.”

Rising Above the Backlash

Amid the chaos, Doja Cat seems to have found empowerment in the face of adversity. While she may have lost a substantial following, she’s gained a sense of liberation and reaffirmation of her true supporters. The artist’s unapologetic stance illustrates her commitment to her individuality and artistic expression.
