Doja Cat Pranks Dad Who Skipped Her Show

It seems Doja Cat isn’t holding back when it comes to her relationship with her father. The superstar recently shared a rather unusual prank she played on him after he declined her invitation to attend her concert in his hometown of Pretoria, South Africa. This latest interaction adds another layer to their long-standing estranged relationship.

A Father’s Refusal

Doja Cat, who was primarily raised by her mother in the United States, has spoken openly about her father, Dumisani Dlamini, not being a consistent presence in her life. In fact, they’ve reportedly never met, as he resides in South Africa. Despite this distance, Doja decided to reach out while she was in town for a show.

She explained to her TikTok followers that she messaged her father, asking him to come to her performance. His response? He claimed he couldn’t make it because she doesn’t message or call him enough on WhatsApp. This reason, coming from a father she barely knows, clearly didn’t sit well with the 30-year-old artist.

The Prank Unfolds

Feeling a bit of hypocrisy from her father’s excuse, Doja Cat decided to retaliate with a rather bold prank. She sent him a link, telling him it was for a ticket to her show. However, the link actually led to adult content. Her father’s response was a mix of confusion and caution, asking if it was a scam and stating he was too busy with costume and rehearsal.

Doja found it amusing that he was still responding despite claiming to be busy. She sent the link again, prompting him to question, ‘Darling, what is this? What I’m seeing is gay porn… I don’t know if it’s a scam. I don’t know what to do with this, I can’t get the ticket.’

Who Is Doja Cat’s Dad?

For those unfamiliar, Doja Cat’s father is Dumisani Dlamini, a well-known South African actor and dancer. He gained recognition for his role in the 1992 film ‘Sarafina!’, which also featured Whoopi Goldberg. Despite his public profile, his relationship with his daughter remains distant.

Doja Cat has previously referred to him as a ‘deadbeat dad,’ and this latest incident suggests that the dynamic between them is unlikely to improve anytime soon. It’s a complex family situation that continues to play out publicly.
