Doja Cat In Hot Water With Fans After Bashing Fandom Nickname ‘Kittenz’

Doja Cat is in trouble with her fans right now. Why is that? Well, she decided to bash the nickname her fans have been affectionately calling themselves for years!

On Saturday, the 27-year-old singer took to Threads to make fun of her fans for saying they are the Kittenz.

She wrote at the time: Ouch. That’s not the only message she had for everyone. When one person asked what they should “change” their fan account name to since she didn’t “like the term kitten” anymore, Doja told her to delete it: Related: Ariana Madix Defends Scheana Amid Online Hate For Taking Pic With Sandoval Seriously?

In response to another fan account that used her real name Amala Zandile Dlamini as their handle, she fired back: Of course, people started to fire back at Doja in the comments of the post – including one person who noted that people were “only using the name YOU gave your fans.” However, Doja said she made the name “when i was an alcoholic teen.” You can see some of her posts (below): Look… Artists have fandom names – it’s not an uncommon thing.
