Doja Cat lashed out at fans last week after they dogged her with criticism about her controversial boyfriend, comedian J. (Jeffrey) Cyrus .
The singer went public with Cyrus last November, and the two were seen kissing on a yacht in June .
Not long after, several people came forward accusing Cyrus of grooming and sexual misconduct, according to BuzzFeed .
Some people included screenshots of posts allegedly written by Cyrus where he “seemingly references alleged sexual assault,” according to the Evening Standard .
Doja Cat didn’t seem to appreciate the criticism, lashing out at fans on both Twitter and Threads in now-deleted posts.
In one post, she told fans in all caps: “I don’t give a fuck what you think about my personal life.”
She also apparently blocked a number of fans.
The singer told other fans not to call her by her “government name,” which is Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini.
“You making my government name your [screen name] is creepy as fuck,” she tweeted to one follower.
When another asked Doja Cat to say that she loves her fans, it was a bridge too far for the singer.
“I don’t though cuz I don’t even know yall,” she said.
Another fan 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 fucking Garage Band Miss high school drop out.”
The singer replied: “idk why you’re talking to me like you’re my mother ... you sound like a crazy person.”
Doja Cat also had harsh words for her fans who call themselves “kittens,” and suggested they “get off your phone and get a job and help your parents with the house.” (The singer herself held a poll in 2020 asking her fans what they should be called , with “kittens” getting 74% of the vote and “cubs” 26%.)
She offered this advice to one fan whose user name contained the word “kittenz”: “Just delete the entire account and rethink everything it’s never too late.”
HuffPost reached out to Doja Cat for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.
The singer may be taking her own advice regarding social media. She deleted the tweets where she lashed out at fans and has reportedly deactivated her Threads account .
