The situation escalated further as fan accounts faced confrontation while trying to defend the use of the term ‘Kittenz.’ In response to the heated exchanges, several influential fan pages, including ‘DojaNews,’ ‘TheKittensRoom,’ and ‘DojaHQs,’ made the drastic decision to deactivate their social media presence in protest. This move sent a powerful message to Doja Cat and the broader music community about fan support’s vital role in an artist’s journey.
