Popstar Doja Cat has lost thousands of followers after getting into unexpected drama with Stranger Things’ Noah Schnapp.
The ‘Kiss Me More’ singer recently faced backlash after calling out Noah for leaking a series of messages she’d sent him.
The 17-year-old actor, known for playing Will Byers in Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things,’ shared the DMs on a now-deleted TikTok video, which showed Doja Cat asking him to hook her up with his costar, Joseph Quinn.
Doja Cat shared her frustration on Instagram Live, saying she didn’t feel comfortable with him posting the messages, describing the move as “socially unaware and wack.” She also went on to accuse Schnapp of acting like a “snake.”

Many people were disappointed by Doja Cat’s choice of words to describe Schnapp, and felt uncomfortable with the 26-year-old singer messaging a 17-year-old.

Is Doja Cat really mad that Noah Schnapp revealed that she is interested in Joseph Quinn (which she has publicly stated btw) or is she just mad that we’ve found out her grown ass is DMing a 17 year old? pic.twitter.com/1VRNPC0Rch

However, some fans jumped to Doja’s defense, not happy with the actor for sharing her messages without the singer’s express permission.
it's so funny how y'all try to villainize and attack black women for being reasonably upset and uncomfortable and try to paint them aggressive. noah schnapp had no right sharing doja cat's dms without permission for a TikTok without consulting her pic.twitter.com/sMr8C2OXg4
