A hacker reportedly posted to Doja Cat’s X account telling fans to “buy DOJA or else.”
The X account of rapper Doja Cat was hacked on July 8 and used to promote a scam token bearing the rapper’s name, according to a report from celebrity news account Daily Trends. Celebrity news site The Daily Mail also reported that Doja Cat was hacked and used to make negative posts about fellow rapper Iggy Azalea.
The scam token, “Doja Cat (DOJA),” reached a market capitalization of $1.65 million after being promoted via the hacked account. It subsequently fell to a market cap of $16,820, causing investor losses of over $1.63 million.
The Daily Trends posted an image of the now-deleted scam X post. It contains an image of Doja Cat wearing a suit of armor and brandishing a sword. Above the image is “buy $DOJA or else,” followed by the token’s Solana contract address.
