  • 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.

  • Pusha T Responds to ‘Deadbeat Dad’ Backlash

    It seems like Pusha T can’t catch a break this year, and his latest comments about parenting have landed him in hot water. After announcing he and his wife, Virginia Williams, are expecting their second child, Pusha T made some remarks that many fans interpreted as him shirking his fatherly duties.

    The ‘Jokes’ That Sparked Controversy

    The drama kicked off when Pusha T posted on Instagram thanking his wife for their second baby boy, due in Spring 2026. He wrote, ‘i hope you carry on with tradition and never teach me how to change a diaper, prep a meal, suck out a snotty nose, or anything else a Supermom does.’ He added that she makes things ‘very easy’ for him.

    These comments quickly drew criticism, with many labeling him a ‘deadbeat dad’ for seemingly joking about not wanting to be involved in the hands-on aspects of raising a child. While Pusha T has faced criticism before, particularly with the Clipse reunion rollout, this parenting controversy hit a different nerve for many.

    Pusha T’s Response to the Backlash

    Facing the ‘deadbeat’ accusations, Pusha T took to Twitter to address the situation. He responded to a tweet that highlighted the criticism, posting a series of crying-laughing emojis over a clip of Christoph Waltz laughing uncontrollably from ‘Inglourious Basterds.’ This suggests he views the backlash as an overblown reaction to what he likely saw as a harmless inside joke.

    However, not everyone is laughing along. Many fans, and even some notable figures, have continued to express their critical perspectives. The situation is further complicated by the history between Pusha T and Drake, who notably liked a post criticizing the age gap between Pusha and his wife, Virginia. Their relationship, which began when he was 29 and she was 19, has been a topic of discussion since Drake referenced it in his ‘Duppy Freestyle.’

    A History of Family and Feuds

    This current controversy is particularly noteworthy given the intense family-focused commentary in Pusha T’s past diss tracks, like ‘The Story of Adidon.’ Despite the online drama, Pusha T and Virginia Williams welcomed their first son, Nigel, in 2020, and are now preparing to welcome their second. It remains to be seen if Pusha T will offer a more detailed response or let this situation blow over.
