Doja Cat announces her X account hacked after posts refer to Iggy Azalea as 'stupid b***h'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rapper Doja Cat alleged that her X (formerly Twitter) account was compromised following tweets that raised red flags, like berating Nicki Minaj, calling Iggy Azalea a "stupid b****," and flirting with Andrew Tate.
The 'Agora Hills' hitmaker, 28, posted a statement on her reactivated Instagram account: "My twitter's been hacked, these messages are not from me."
She had deactivated the account in March due to online bullying, per Daily Mail.

Doja Cat is another celebrity whose X account got hacked
The Grammy winner sent out this statement on her Instagram Stories, following a tweet from her X that said, "f*** that stupid b**** @IGGYAZALEA and buy $DOJ."
Another disturbing post from the compromised account said, "where you at boo @NICKIMINAJ," criticizing another female artist.
Furthermore, Doja's account left a simple "hey boo" comment on a post made by controversial social media figure Andrew Tate.
"Buy $DOJA or else," read one of the many hacked tweets that included an image of the musician holding a knife while wearing a chainmail hood.
Iggy, on the other hand, immediately tweeted, "Get rugged if yall want but I’m cool w that girl irl so yall f***** up w that tweet hackers," seemingly unaffected by the purported diss.
The Australian rapper offered her thoughts on Doja Cat's social media mishap, saying, "They hacked Doja cat n have posted a sh**coin scam."
"Hackers on celeb girl accounts again making it about me cause I’m their fixation but they didn’t consider the fact that I may actually interact w ppl in real life and it’s not fitting into reality lol," Azalea added.

Doja Cat becomes latest victim of cybercrime
American rapper and singer Doja Cat is the most recent celebrity to have her X account compromised to promote a meme coin with a Solana origin.
She immediately clarified to her 24 million Instagram followers that she wasn't the source of the images.
The 'Kiss Me More' singer's compromised account began tweeting about cryptocurrencies on Monday, July 8, around 7.15 pm. Users were urged to "buy $DOJA or else" in the earlier posts, which gave a link to a holding address.
With almost 5.6 million followers, Doja Cat's account was compromised by a hacker who removed both her description and profile image after posting over two dozen times.
In comparison to earlier instances, the new $DOJA token—which is available on Raydium, the maker of the Solana market—saw comparatively little movement, according to blockchain records and market statistics, per Geo News.
This event is the most recent in a string of hacks that promote Solana-based meme currencies on celebrity social media profiles, usually those with tens of millions of followers.
A similar hoax was promoted by hacking into the X account of retired wrestling star Hulk Hogan in June. A week later, Metallica's account was hacked, and immediately after, rapper 50 Cent's account was infiltrated.
