Doja Catis reportedly calling out her followers.
Over the weekend, the musician, 27, allegedly hit out at some of her fans for dubbing themselves “Kittenz” without her consent.
According toPage Six, the singer posted a series of since-deleted tweets which said “My fans don’t get to name themselves s–t. If you call yourself a ‘Kitten’ or f- - - - - -g ‘Kittenz’ that means you need to get off your phone and get a job and help your parents with the house.”
One fan wrote in response, per Page Six, “??? only using the name YOU gave your fans.”
Another wrote of the star’s tweets, “Doja Cat slandering her fans is crazy tbh cos I don’t understand why you would attack your fans for just giving themselves a name just like every other fanbase out there. I know what signs like these mean.”
A representative for Doja Cat did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Per Page Six, another fan who had “Kittenz” in their Twitter username also asked Doja Cat what they should change their name to “since you don’t like the term kitten.”
“Just delete the entire account and rethink everything it’s never too late,” the “Say So” singer reportedly replied.

“i don’t though cuz i don’t even know yall,” she reportedly responded and then allegedly deactivated her Threads account.

It’s not the first time the songstress has upset her fans. Back in May, Doja Catstruck a nerve with her fanbaseafter taking to Twitter to claim her latest two albums — which spawned her breakthrough hit “Say So” and the Grammy-winning “Kiss Me More” with SZA — were merely created so she could make money.
“planet her and hot pink were cash-grabs and yall fell for it,” she tweeted. “now i can go disappear somewhere and touch grass with my loved ones on an island while yall weep for mediocre pop.”
