Doja Cat Deactivates Instagram Account After Saying Negativity Is ‘Too Much’

Doja Cat deleted her Instagram account and announced to fans that she was taking a break from the service to giver herself time off from what she described as a toxic atmosphere. “hey i’m gonna deactivate because i’m not really feeling this anymore. you guys take care of yourselves,” the rapper/singer wrote according to screengrabs of the message.

“i like coming here to find inspo and see people being creative but i just feel like this is getting to be too much,” she continued. “the way i’m spoken to on here and treated makes me have f–ked up thoughts. Please watch how you talk to and about people on the internet. Bye.”

It’s not the first time Doja has struggled with her relationship to social media. Back in July, the “Kiss Me More” star went on a Threads spree in which she slammed members of her Kittenz fanbase — calling out some for using her “government name” as their screen names and demanding that they “get a job” — which social media analysis company Crowdtangle said at the time may have coast Doja more than 230,000 followers.

At press time it appeared that Doja’s wiped Insta page was still inactive.

Last month, Doja scored her eighth No. 1 on the Billboard Pop Airplay chart when her Scarlet single “Agora Hills” topped the survey, extending her mark for the most leaders this decade; that put Doja in a tie with Justin Timberlake for the ninth-most number ones on that chart since its inception in 1992. “Agora Hills” previously spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Rhythmic Airplay chart, where it became Doja Cat’s 11th leader.
