Doja Cat’s X account, formerly known as Twitter, was recently hacked, and the intruders used it to promote cryptocurrency and hurl insults at fellow rapper Iggy Azalea. Doja Cat quickly confirmed the breach, clarifying that the offensive messages did not come from her.
On July 8, Doja Cat’s followers were startled by a series of bizarre posts from her X account. Among them was a particularly offensive tweet aimed at Iggy Azalea, calling her a “stupid b—h” and promoting a meme coin. The hacker’s messages were filled with profane language, including direct insults and crypto advertisements.

One of the more aggressive posts read, “Shut up bch,” as a response to an ad by Iggy Azalea. Another tweet declared, “Fk that stupid b**ch @IGGYAZALEA and buy $DOJA.” These posts quickly drew attention and sparked a wave of reactions across social media.
Social media users expressed a mix of outrage and disbelief. One user commented, “These crypto hackers needa be stopped bro,” while another said, “Doja cat.. This is the most boring hack ever.. he really just promoting his singer friend instead of being messy.. the economy really in the trenches.” Some questioned the hacker’s motives, wondering why they targeted Doja Cat in the first place.

Both Iggy Azalea and Doja Cat responded to the situation. Iggy took to X to address the incident, stating, “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.” She added, “Get rugged if yall want but I’m cool w that girl irl so yall f**ked up w that tweet hackers.”
The hackers replied to Iggy’s post, “You forgot to @ me boo,” indicating they were aware of her response. Doja Cat also took to her Instagram Story to clarify, “My Twitter’s been hacked these messages are not from me.”

This incident is not isolated. Celebrity accounts are frequently targeted by hackers, often to promote scams or cause disruptions. Just last month, rapper 50 Cent claimed hackers made $300 million by taking over his social media accounts and promoting cryptocurrencies.
As the internet continues to play a pivotal role in the lives of celebrities, the risk of hacking remains a significant concern. Doja Cat and Iggy Azalea’s swift responses highlight the importance of addressing such breaches promptly to mitigate damage and clarify misunderstandings.
This episode serves as a reminder of the vulnerabilities inherent in our digital lives and the ongoing need for robust security measures to protect personal and professional online identities.
