Doja Cat Slams Fans Dubbing Themselves As ‘Kittens’: ‘Get A Job’
Doja Cat’s latest Twitter debacle has definitely brought the singer a lot of “attention.” The Planet Her creator recieved some backlash on her blunt statements about her fanbase. Like most singers in the industry, their fanbase who are their most loyal supporters has a name for themselves. Beyoncé has the Beyhive, Rihanna has the Navy and Nicki Minaj has the Barbz. Doja Cat’s diehard fans dubbed themselves a “Kitten” or “Kittenz” for obvious reasons but the Los Angeles native proved to be dismissive of her supporters.
“If you call yourself a ‘kitten’ or f—— ‘kittenz,’ that means you need to get off your phone and get a job and help your parents with the house,” she wrote in a since-deleted tweet.
One fan asked for the singer to tell her fanbase that she loves them which Doja Cat responded, “I don’t though cuz I don’t even know y’all.”

Doja Cat Announces 'The Scarlet Tour'
It soon became a debate on Twitter on whether Doja Cat was being rude to her fans or was she just being honest about her feelings.
“Kinda pissing me off that people are defending doja cat and throwing around the term parasocial relationships when it’s not even about that, she’s being rude and dismissive to regular fans not just the ones who overstep boundaries,” one fan wrote.
“The Doja discourse is a reminder that many of you struggle with the parasocial relationships you’ve built with artists and the delusional entitlement to ownership you feel over their personal and professional lives,” one fan said defending the singer.
One fan argued, “Doja Cat is the perfect example of why y’all need to stop idolizing/defending celebrities like y’all know them. They do not be caring about y’all like y’all care about them.”
The singer has not spoken on this topic since the deleted tweets.
This drama follows Doja Cat’s announcement of her Scarlet Tour which begins in October.
