Quick Take The American rapper’s X account posted multiple messages to promote a token with the ticker DOJA. The celebrity warned on Instagram that her X account was hacked.

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.
