Hackers Took Over Doja Cat’s X Account And Dissed Iggy Azalea
Everyone has the chance of being hacked. This is especially true in the world of social media. Recently, artist Doja Cat was hacked. Her X account (formerly Twitter) appeared to have been hacked by “Crypto Bros.”
On Monday (July 8), strange posts began coming from the artist’s X account. One that caught people’s attention was a dig at Iggy Azalea in a post promoting her meme coin.
“Shut up bitch,” the Doja hacker responded under Iggy’s ad. They added in a more direct tweet, “F— that stupid bitch @IGGYAZALEA and buy $DOJA.”
After a while, people started to realize the tweets were the work of a hacker, including Iggy, who tweeted that she knew the real Doja Cat was not putting up the posts.
“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 posted. “Get rugged if yall want but I’m cool w that girl irl so yall f—ed up w that tweet hackers,” she added in a follow up post.
The hackers responded to Iggy Azalea’s post. “You forgot to @ me boo,” one reply reads.
Doja Cat took to her official Instagram page to confirm that her latest posts on X were indeed not hers.
“My Twitter’s been hacked,” she wrote on her Instagram story against a black background. “These messages are not from me.”
The hackers’ pranks didn’t stop there. They also used their control over the account to promote another musician Weiland. “Weiland motivates me to chase the bag,” wrote the hacker. “Doja cat’s music is demonic.”
Back in March, Doja Cat announced her hiatus from social media, stating mental health concerns due to the public’s constant criticism. But shortly after, she returned to tease her single, “Masc.”
Artists being hacked is not that uncommon. Last month, rapper 50 Cent claimed that hackers made $300 million after taking over his social media accounts promoting crypto.
“My Twitter & Thisis 50.com was hacked,” the rapper wrote on Instagram. “I have no association with this Crypto. Twitter worked quickly to lock my account back down. Who ever did this made $300,000,000 in 30 minutes,” he alleged. The Instagram post included screenshots of the “$GUNIT” memecoin, which started at under $1 million market value, and quickly shot up.
