According to reports from celebrity news sources Daily Trends, rapper Doja Cat’s X account was hacked on July 8 to promote a scam crypto token bearing her name&nbsp;
The fake token, “$DOJA,” saw a rapid increase in value following its promotion through the hacked account. Market data indicates that the token’s market capitalization peaked at $1.65 million shortly after the launch.
However, this surge was short-lived, with the value plummeting to $16,820 within hours, resulting in investors losing over $1.63 million.
The Daily Trends shared evidence of the scam, posting an image of the now-deleted X post from Doja Cat’s account. The post featured an image of the rapper in armor while holding a sword, with the message “buy $DOJA or else” followed by a Solana contract address.&nbsp;

The hacked account also threw shade at fellow rapper Iggy Azalea, who recently launched her own celebrity memecoin called <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/05/30/iggy-azaleas-mother-coin-faces-insider-trading-scandal/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">MOTHER</a>.
However, Iggy Azalea commented on the situation, affirming her real-life friendship with Doja Cat and dismissing the legitimacy of the hacked posts. “Get rugged if yall want but I’m cool w that girl irl so yall f**d up w that tweet hackers,” she posted on her X account.
