Doja Cat has revealed that she’s feeling relieved after losing 500,000 followers on social media in the last month.
The pop star went to war with her fans and plenty hit the unfollow button, although she still boasts over 25 million followers on Instagram.
The Grammy-winning artist took to her Instagram Story on Wednesday (August 16) where she admitted it’s like she jumped over a major obstacle in life and as a result of the mass exodus, she’s feeling free.
“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,” she wrote while traveling.
“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.”

One of Doja Cat’s tirades saw her blast fans on Twitter and Threads over how they referred to themselves as Kittenz, which she clearly wasn’t rocking with.
“My fans don’t call themselves shit,” she wrote. “If you call yourself ‘kitten’ or ‘kittenz’ that means you need to get off your phone and get a job and help your parents with the house.”
A fan replied that the Kittenz were “only using the name you gave us.”
“When I was an alcoholic teen,” Doja replied.
“Can you love ur kittenz again or no?”
“I don’t even know what the fuck that means,” Doja bit back.
Another cold-hearted exchange saw a fan account stationed in Iran on Threads asking for the “Attention” rapper to tell them she loves them, which she refused to do.
“I don’t thought cause I don’t even know y’all,” she wrote. “Nobody forced you idk why you’re talking to me like you’re my mother bitch you sound like a crazy person.”
Doja Cat will look to repair her evolving relationship with her die-hard fan base as she gears up to hit the road for The Scarlet Tour with Ice Spice and Doechii this fall.
The 24-date trek kicks off on Halloween includes stops in Las Vegas, Denver, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami, Brooklyn, Boston, Detroit, and Toronto, and will wrap up in Chicago on December 13.

Panic! At The Disco are preparing to release a special deluxe anniversary edition of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out.
The I Write Sins Not Tragedies icons marked the 20th anniversary of their groundbreaking 2005 debut album during their performance at When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas over the weekend, and have now confirmed the new edition.
On January 23, the group — originally formed by Brendon Urie, Spencer Smith, Ryan Ross and Brent Wilson — will unveil a limited edition box set that features a remastered version of the record.
The package, priced at £164.99 and available for pre-order, includes 11 unreleased demos and a vinyl pressing of 2006’s Live In Denver. The full live set has also been uploaded to YouTube.
On the band’s UK store, they shared a message:
“To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Panic! At The Disco’s seminal debut album, this limited edition box set brings together a comprehensive time capsule celebrating the record's impact.
This release includes the original album remastered for the first time ever, 11 unreleased demos, plus the legendary 2006 Live In Denver performance — never before released on vinyl or CD.
The box set also includes a 12-page zine with never before seen photos from the era, a sticker set, a door hanger, and a paper doll set.”
By 2023, the band had essentially become a solo project for Urie. Their final show was held in Manchester, UK, where the frontman said: “Sometimes a journey must end for a new one to begin.
“We’ve been trying to keep it to ourselves, though some of you may have heard… Sarah and I are expecting a baby very soon!
The prospect of being a father and getting to watch my wife become a mother is both humbling and exciting. I look forward to this next adventure.”
Panic! returned to the stage at WWWY over the weekend, performing A Fever You Can't Sweat Out in full alongside fan favorites like This Is Gospel and Nine in the Afternoon.
To end the night, they performed I Write Sins Not Tragedies once again, as Smith reunited with Urie for the emotional closing moment.
