Doja Cat mocked her own fans online over calling themselves "Kittenz."

In a post on the Threads app Sunday, Doja urged those using the unofficial nickname — similar to Taylor Swift's "Swifties" and Nicki Minaj's "Barbz" — to grow up. Doja's Threads account appears to have since been deactivated.

"My fans don't name themselves shit," she began. "If you call yourself a 'kitten' or fucking 'kittenz' that means you need to get off your phone and get a job and help your parents with the house."

Responding to her post, a fan account with the handle @thekittenzweb, asked: "What should I change my name to since you don't like the term kitten."

Doja replied: "Just delete the entire account and rethink everything it's never too late."

In addition to responding to fans using the nomenclature "Kittenz," Doja also hit out at one fan using her birth name as their username.

"You making my government name ur sn is creepy as fuck," she wrote to an account with the handle @amalazandiledlamlni. Doja's real name is Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini.

In response to Doja, a number of the 27-year-old's top fan pages, including Doja HQ and The Kittens Room, deactivated their Twitter accounts.

Other fans chose to hit back at the rapper on Twitter.

Quoting Doja's initial message, one fan wrote: "This coming from doja cat??? The same woman who was meowing at met gala..?"

One supporter urged Doja to "have some respect for us."

"You know it's been the kittens who have defended you these past years every time you do stupid shit," they tweeted.

Representatives for Doja Cat did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
