Doja Cat Is Focused On Her Fans Who 'Know Who I am'

Doja Cat only has eyes for her faithful fans!

Despite losing a few hundred thousand social media followers after she disavowed her fanbase's chosen name, "Kittenz," the controversial singer has continued on the warpath. In her latest update, she claimed that the most important thing to her was her fans knowing her for who she truly is, seemingly alleging that those who do not know her were insignificant.

Anybody following Doja for a period knows she does not bow down to pressure. For the unaware ones, she posted a message via her Instagram Story, proving that the way people see her does not phase her.

To pass the message, the "Wine Pon You" uploaded an image of a tap with a black head running into what appeared to be a bathtub. Across the picture, she wrote, "All that matters to me is that my fans know who I am and the others are stuck trying to figure out."

Just before the update, the 27-year-old had reacted to losing numerous followers, taking to her Instagram Story to state, "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. And 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 shared the remark against an image of moving cars on a highway. The same picture appeared in her next post alongside a cryptic message that read, "I do not 'fart,' my a** simply whispers."

In case you missed it, about 200k people unfollowed the "Kiss Me More" artist on Instagram, and she was even forced to delete her account on Meta's Threads, given the intensity of the dispute between her and members of her fanbase.

The clash ash also resulted in the deactivation of three of her most notable X stan accounts, namely Doja HQ, The Kittens Room, and Doja Cat News. As it turned out, the "So High" hitmaker told the page's handlers and her other fans to "get a life, get a job, and help your parents with the house."

Things got worse after one of her supporters told her that they had held a poll on X to decide on the best name for the fan base in 2020, and the singer-songwriter responded that the person created the poll as an "alcoholic teen."

"My fans don't call themselves sh*t," Doja added before her man, Jeffrey Cyrus, got caught in the crossfire. Per The Blast, netizens uploaded several screenshots containing posts of the comedian commenting on the previous sexual assaults he may have committed.

Responding to the attack, the MTV Video Music Award winner went on a tirade on X and Threads, writing, "I don't give a f**k what you think about my personal life."

Doja then went on a blocking spree while warning her remaining followers against using her "government name," Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini. As she informed one person, "You making my government name your [screen name] is creepy as f**k."

As the online feud grew stronger, the handlers of the aforementioned "Need to Know" artist's most significant stan accounts demanded an apology from her. As The Blast reported, the conversation moved toward the expectations and responsibilities of being a celebrity in today's world.

During an interview, one of the handlers, simply called Jamun for security reasons disclosed, "She needs to just come out and apologize and be sincere." At the same time, another person behind one of the other now-deactivated pages, Amir, shared his perspective on the dynamic between celebrities and their followers. In his words:

"Artists don't owe fans anything outside of surface-level respect. It's a 50/50 thing, you know? I respect you for what you do, and you respect me in return for that support." 

Explaining more, he stated that the decision to deactivate the account was a way to prove that their support could be withdrawn at any time, adding, "We do so much campaigning and promotion for her that isn't worth it if her comments are how she really feels."
