Doja Cat feels ‘free’ after losing 180,000 Instagram followers
Doja Cat is speaking out after losing 180,000 Instagram followers in the wake of a dispute with her fans. The 27-year-old rapper took to her Instagram Story on Wednesday to share her thoughts on the matter.
“Seeing all these people unfollow makes me feel like I’ve defeated a large beast that’s been holding me down for so long,” Doja wrote. “It feels like I can reconnect with the people who really matter and love me for who I am and not for who I was.”
Doja’s comments come after she lashed out at her fans in late July after they began debating whether her fanbase name should be Kitten or Kittenz. Doja called the fans “annoying” and “toxic” and said she was “tired of being nice.”
The backlash from her fans was swift, and Doja lost a significant number of followers in the days that followed. However, she seems to be taking the loss in stride.
“I feel free,” Doja wrote. “I feel like I can finally be myself and not worry about what other people think.”
Doja’s comments have been met with mixed reactions. Some fans have praised her for speaking her mind, while others have accused her of being ungrateful for her success.
Regardless of the reaction, Doja’s comments are a reminder that even the most popular celebrities are not immune to criticism. It is also a reminder that social media can be a powerful tool, both for good and for bad.
It remains to be seen how Doja’s relationship with her fans will evolve in the wake of this incident. However, it is clear that she is determined to be herself and to connect with her fans on a genuine level.
