American rapper Doja Cat’s X account was hacked to promote a now-collapsed token

American singer and rapper Amala Zandile Dlamini, known professionally as Doja Cat, warned that her X account appeared to have been hacked to promote a Solana-based token with the ticker DOJA.

Doja Cat said on her Instagram account, which has 24 million followers, that her X account was hacked. “My Twitter’s been hacked. These messages are not from me,” she wrote in an Instagram story on Monday evening ET.

The rapper’s X account posted a series of messages to its 5.6 million followers about the Doja token in what many presume to have been a hack. “Keep buying DOJA,” one post said. “The real queen of Solana DOJA,” said another, citing a Monday post by Iggy Azalea who frequently talked about crypto and her memecoin.

In response to the presumably hacked post, Azalea wrote, “Get rugged if yall want but I’m cool with that girl in real life so yall f*cked up with that tweet hackers.”

The Doja Cat token, which the hacker appearred to be referring to, reached a market cap of $500,000 soon after initial rollout but then collapsed by 96% to reaching $22,000 at the time of writing.

The latest incident follows a similar incident last month involving Metallica — one of the most famous metal bands of all time. Metallica’s X account was presumably hacked by an unknown entity to promote a Solana memecoin.

Doja Cat’s agency did not immediately respond to The Block’s request for comment.
