Doja Cat has responded to criticism about her personal life recently, using strong language and calling her followers certain names. As a result, she faced a significant backlash, with nearly 400,000 fans unfollowing her on Instagram alone, impacting her social media presence.

Why is Doja Cat losing followers?


Last month, controversy arose when some fans raised concerns about Doja Cat's alleged relationship with J. Cyrus. Photos of the two together surfaced online, prompting accusations against Cyrus of grooming and sexual misconduct, with reference to a past Twitch post by the comedian. In response, the 'Say So' singer blocked several followers and posted a pointed comment on Instagram, expressing her indifference to their opinions about her personal life and bidding farewell to what she referred to as "miserable h**s."


As the month continued, Doja Cat made additional controversial posts on Threads, further alienating her hardcore fans. In these now-deleted posts, she labeled her fans as 'creepy' and advised them to find jobs. She also expressed annoyance at their pet name, 'kittenz' or 'kittens,' asserting that her fans do not have the right to label themselves.

The heated exchanges with her followers had a significant impact on her social media following, resulting in the loss of over 566,040 followers on Instagram in the past month. The incidents have stirred up major backlash against the Grammy award-winning artist and have left many fans turning away from her due to her controversial behavior and comments.

According to Social Blade, the statistics indicate that the pop star experienced a loss of more than 373,000 followers in the days following her controversial thread posts. Surprisingly, despite the significant backlash, the singer has not issued any apologies for the incident.
