Doja Cat’s Father Denies ‘Deadbeat’ Label After Pretoria Show, Claims He Was Barred

His now-deleted message follows her viral TikTok prank, with no confirmed reunion at the venue.

Overview

  • Doja Cat shared a TikTok titled “The Deadbeat Chronicles” saying her father declined her Pretoria show because she didn’t message or call on WhatsApp, so she sent him a TimTales porn link instead of tickets.
  • The singer delivered her first South African performance at Global Citizen’s Move Afrika concert at Pretoria’s SunBet Arena and grew emotional while thanking the crowd.
  • Social media posts showed Dumisani Dlamini at or outside the arena on the night of the concert, though it remains unclear if he met his daughter backstage.
  • In a video post later deleted, Dlamini denied abandoning Doja Cat and alleged she was “brainwashed” by her mother, asserting his love for his daughter.
  • Dlamini also claimed in a separate video that venue security and management barred him despite buying his own tickets, a contention not independently verified.
