The hackers later made a post that directly insulted Australian rapper Iggy Azalea, calling her an expletive. Azalea is an actual crypto advocate and often punts a currency inspired by her, called $MOTHER. "Hackers on celeb girl accounts again making it about me cause I'm their fixation, but they didn't consider the fact that I may actually interact w ppl in real life and it's not fitting into reality lol," Azalea wrote on X after Doja's account was spammed.
