Doja Cat — like many, many others — is not happy with Twitter.

On November 10, the rapper and singer uploaded a five-second audio clip of her sighing on Twitter as a way to express her frustration with new owner Elon Musk's plan to charge $8 a month for verification.

The 26-year-old followed it up with another clip in which she mocked people purchasing the verification badges, saying, "You guys are paying $8 a month to come on here and go to war with people who are not in agreement with who your favorite pop star is?"

While the entertainer might not like the changes Musk has brought to the platform since he bought it on October 27, she does need his help changing her Twitter handle.

Doja has been posting covers of herself singing Christmas songs and recently changed her Twitter handle to "Christmas," only to realize she was unable to revert the change.

"I don't wanna be christmas forever Elon Musk please help I've made a mistake," Doja tweeted on November 10, along with a string of expletives. Musk promptly replied, "Working on it!"

Doja joins a legion of celebrities who have recently parodied and mocked the new Twitter badges.

On Sunday evening, Twitter suspended comedian Kathy Griffin's account after she pretended to be Elon Musk on the platform. A week prior, after buying Twitter, Musk had declared that "comedy is now legal on Twitter."

Stephen King, too, lashed out against Musk's paid-for-verification blue ticks. The author took to Twitter in late October, writing: "$20 a month to keep my blue check? Fuck that, they should pay me. If that gets instituted, I'm gone like Enron."

In response to King's tweet, Musk said: "We need to pay the bills somehow! Twitter cannot rely entirely on advertisers. How about $8?"
