It's no secret that Doja Cat and her dad, the South African actor Dumisani Dlamini, have a tense relationship.

And with the singer performing as the headliner of Move Africa Tour, these problems were always going to come to a head.

Now, Doja's been spilling the tea in a recent series of TikToks titled The Deadbeat Chronicles.

Friday, the singer revealed that she had offered her dad tickets to her show, but claimed that Dlamini was "too busy" to attend. In response, Doja sent him a link to a gay porn website instead of the ticketing site as a prank.

It's fair to say the 62-year-old wasn't amused and took to Instagram with a now-deleted Instagram post to hit back, per hot97.

Fan are on Doja's side

Dlamini claimed that the pop star has been "brainwashed" against him, blaming Doja's "white, Jewish" mother, Deborah Sawyer.

"That white woman brainwashed my baby, that I had left her. I never left my kid. She played the cards because of being influenced by her mother. She came to South Africa. She’s got power to see me, and she faked it," he said.

Judging by the comments on Doja's TikTok, fans are solidly on the artist's side in this public feud.
