Doja Cat’s Dad DROPS THE BOMB! Dumisani Dlamini Claims He Supported Doja’s Mom & 3 Other Kids… Accuses Her Of Being “RACIST” And Brainwashing The Star! (WATCH)
Media Take Out has obtained a scorching new interview that is turning the Doja Cat “deadbeat dad” narrative completely upside down! We all know she’s spent years dragging her father, South African Sarafina! star Dumisani Dlamini, across every social media platform—even recently sending him a gay adult link after he missed her Pretoria show.
But Dumisani is finally fighting back, and he’s not just denying the “absentee” allegations. He’s accusing Doja Cat‘s mother, Deborah Elizabeth Sawyer, of running a years-long campaign of “racist” brainwashing to turn his children against him!
“I Took Her In With 3 Kids”: The Secret History
In a video that’s currently going viral on TikTok, Dumisani spills some major tea about the early days of his relationship with Doja’s mom. According to him, he didn’t just meet a woman and leave her with a baby. He claims that when he met Deborah in America, she already had three children from a previous relationship.
Dumisani says that as a “real man,” he took her in and provided for the entire household—including the three kids that weren’t even his.
“I provided for Doja’s mom and those three other children like they were my own,” Dumisani revealed. “I wasn’t just a father to Amala (Doja); I was a father to that whole family. I stayed for 15 years and gave them everything.”
The “Racist” Accusations: Did Mom Brainwash Doja?
The most shocking part of the interview is when Dumisani explains why the relationship ended. He claims that after 15 years in the U.S., he wanted to move the family back to South Africa, but things went sour.
Dumisani alleges that when the relationship failed and Deborah moved back to another part of the U.S. with the kids, she began “feeding negative, racist stuff” to Doja and her siblings. He suggests that the “deadbeat” narrative is a lie rooted in a “racist agenda” to make him look like a stereotypical absent Black father.
“She told them I didn’t want them because of where I come from,” he claimed. “She used the fact that I am a Zulu man to paint me as a villain. She turned my daughter’s heart against me with those lies.”

A Father’s Plea For The Truth
Dumisani insists that he has tried to reach out for years, but that Doja is “blocked” by her mother’s influence and a management team that profits off her “troubled” image. He even claims that Doja’s recent “demonic” aesthetic and her constant lashing out at him are symptoms of the “confusion” her mother planted in her as a child.
While Doja continues to call him a “b**ch” and a “deadbeat” on Instagram, Dumisani says he’s waiting for the day she realizes she’s been “fed a script” her whole life.
Is Doja Cat’s mom the real villain in this story? Do you believe Dumisani’s claims that he provided for a whole family of five, or is he just trying to save face now that Doja is a superstar? Let us know in the comments!
