Doja Cat has said that seeing large numbers of people unfollow her on social media has allowed her to feel “free”.The LA rapper and singer reportedly lost around 500,000 followers on Instagram over the last few weeks, after she branded her fans “creepy” for labelling themselves with the fandom name ‘Kittenz’.In a series of since-deleted tweets, the star wrote: “My fans don’t get to name themselves shit. If you call yourself a ‘kitten’ or fucking ‘kittenz’ that means you need to get off your phone and get a job and help your parents with the house.”Several fan accounts were reportedly deactivated after, before she started to lose followers in their hundreds of thousands.Now, Doja Cat has responded to the unfollowing spree, which has currently left her at 25.1million Instagram followers.“Seeing all these people unfollow makes me feel like I’ve defeated a large beast that’s been holding me down for so long,” she wrote on her Instagram story, “and it feels like I can reconnect with people who really matter and love me for who i am and not for who i was.”She added: “I feel free.”After the singer posted her initial tweets, one fan pointed out the apparent hypocrisy, reminding the musician that she was the one who came up with the term ‘kittenz’.

Doja Cat is doubling down on her recent comments about her fans. She’s always been vocal about her unease in the music industry, but in recent months, she’s gone after her fanbase, calling her pop albums “cash grabs” and slamming her stans for calling themselves “kittenz” (a name she herself suggested).
