Doja Cat is catching major side-eye from not just her fans and Twitter after she took a major crap on supporters running fan accounts and a particular name for her fanbase.
It looks like Doja Cat is trying to alienate herself from her fans. Spotted on Page Six, the singer / “rapper” called out her fans for giving her fanbase a name without her consent in a bunch of now-deleted tweets she posted over the weekend.
Per Page Six:
“My fans don’t get to name themselves s—t,” the “Boss Bitch” singer declared in a series of since-deleted tweets posted over the weekend.
“If you call yourself a ‘Kitten’ or f—king ‘Kittenz’ that means you need to get off your phone and get a job and help your parents with the house.”
One fan quickly questioned the rapper’s outlandish remarks, tweeting in response, “??? only using the name YOU gave your fans.”
When trying to explain herself for her crappy responses, the “Streets” crafter claimed she came up with the name when she was “an alcoholic teen.”
Okay.
She then took a shot at a fan account for using her “government name,” Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, as a handle. “You making my government name your sn [screenname] is creepy as f—k,” she wrote in a since-deleted tweet.
The rapper took things further by suggesting fans delete their accounts. One user asked her, “What should i change my name to since you don’t like the term kitten.”
Doja Cat replied, “Just delete the entire account and rethink everything it’s never too late.”
Doja Cat Is Getting Friend On Social Media
It should come as no surprise the woman once accused of showing feet in racist chatrooms is catching heat on Twitter for her sh*tty behavior.
Fellow Pop Star Charlie XCX wrote in a tweet, “doja cat’s being so grumpy !”
Others point out how Doja Cat is responding to people by blocking them for wondering why she is dating problematic influencer J. Cyrus, keeping her from beating those she likes to entertain racist white men allegations.

Ed Sheeran is just like anyone else: When he has a new achievement, he celebrates with some drinks and karaoke at the bar.
Following his record-breaking attendance of roughly 73,000 at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium over the weekend, the 32-year-old superstar stopped by at a local bar he once used to frequent during his time as a Tennessee resident a decade ago. “When I lived in Nashville in 2013 I used to go to this karaoke caravan called Santa’s,” he explained in a video posted to his Instagram Sunday (July 23). “It only does $1 PBR and it does karaoke, and it’s the best.”
In the video, Sheeran leads the audience gathered at Santa’s in a round of karaoke, starting with the Backstreet Boys’ iconic “Bye, Bye, Bye.” “Let’s get f–king lit!” he cheers.
He also sang his own 2014 smash “Thinking Out Loud,” which was perfect considering a newly married bride and groom, still in their dress and tux, happened to be there celebrating their wedding. “Make some noise for the happy couple!” Sheeran instructed the crowd.
“Celebrating breaking the attendance record at Nissan stadium in Nashville tonight at Santas pub,” he captioned the video. “When I lived here this was the spot and it still is. Karaoke caravan and cheap beer, what’s not to love x.”
A TikTok video taken by someone at the pub showed that the “Bad Habits” singer also joined the newlyweds in singing One Direction’s breakout single “What Makes You Beautiful.”
Hours before his blockbuster gig at Nissan Stadium, Sheeran took the stage of another Nashville venue that’s just as famous, albeit a lot smaller. Wanting a more intimate venue to play songs from his most recent album, Subtract (stylized “–“), the Grammy winner held a show at the city’s Ryman Auditorium Friday (July 22).
And, with all due respect to Nissan Stadium, Sheeran definitely played favorites between the two Nashville stages. “I genuinely, hand on my heart, believe that this is the best venue in the United States of America,” he said of the Ryman in another video posted to his Instagram.
Watch Ed sing the Backstreet Boys and One Direction below.

The masterclass in successfully ruining a good thing continues with the worst attempt at rebranding ever. Elon Musk has officially got rid of Twitter’s iconic bird logo and replaced it with an “X.”
“X,” or whatever the hell Elon Musk is trying to shape the bird app into, is here. Over the weekend, the Tesla chief announced the name change was officially coming and starting today. It is officially here.
If you log onto Twitter.com via desktop, you will see the new logo in the top left corner where the Twitter bird used to be. Also, if you type X.com, you will be redirected to the Twitter website.
To keep the stupid rebranding going, Musk shared a photo of the bland “X” symbol projected on the side of Twitter’s headquarters early Monday morning.
Musk left the explaining of what precisely this rebrand is all about to Twitter; oops, we X’s new CEO, Linda Yaccarino, who tried her best to break down this asinine decision.
“It’s an exceptionally rare thing – in life or in business – that you get a second chance to make another big impression,” Yaccarino begins her tweet. “Twitter made one massive impression and changed the way we communicate. Now, X will go further, transforming the global town square.”
She continues, “X is the future state of unlimited interactivity – centered in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking – creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities. Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways we’re just beginning to imagine.”
Uh, okay.
Twitter Users Are Still Baffled At The Decision & Are Clowning Elon Musk
No surprise, Twitter OGs are reacting to the name change negatively and are vowing to continue to call X its original name, Twitter.
They also see this as another opportunity to clown Elon Musk, and we don’t blame them because this is one of the dumbest executions we honestly have ever seen.
We’re always here for a Phony Stark, aka Elon Musk dragging. You can see more reactions in the gallery below.
