After losing hundreds of thousands of social media followers, Doja Cat broke her silence and said she is more relieved than anything.
Though Doja Cat has a large fan base, her recent tirade on social media caused her to lose half a million followers.
Before losing a great portion of support, Doja called her following “creepy” and told them to go get a job. She even told one fan that she didn’t “love” her fans anymore, leaving many to lose interest in the ‘Woman’ singer.
Though it’s been about a month since her social media slam, Doja Cat finally broke her silence on the matter.

Since dissing her fans about a month ago, Doja Cat finally shared her feelings on the matter, taking to her Instagram story to say, “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.”
Doja Cat continued, “And 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. I feel free.”
Though the ‘Say So’ singer disregarded her fans in the most recent news, before she did that, she had an exclusive interview with Harper’s Bazaar where she praised her fans, saying, “I appreciate when people speak up for someone who is getting bullied or attacked by internet trolls.”
She continued, “Some of the most moving moments for me have been when my fans have stood up for me or for other people — that’s fighting for something real. I really appreciate that because people like to s—t talk.”
Though Doja Cat has contradicted herself with her actions and words, she seems unfazed by what has occurred via social media, as losing her followers has allowed her to finally embrace the people she felt needed the embracing.
