At the moment I\u2019m just very busy doing costume and rehearsal,\u2019\u201d she recounted.<\/p>\n<p>Amused by the situation, Doja Cat went on to describe how her father continued replying with messages about being too busy, even as the conversation took an unexpected turn.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s at work, and he keeps on messaging me, and he says, \u2018I\u2019m just very busy right now, I can\u2019t get to the phone\u2026\u2019, and then keeps messaging that to me,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Not stopping there, she sent the link again after he appeared confused.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then I sent him the website again because he said, \u2018What is the website?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The moment only got funnier when she mimicked his reaction upon opening it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe says, \u2018Darling, what is this? What I\u2019m seeing is gay porn\u2026 I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s a scam,\u2019\u201d she said, laughing.<\/p>\n<p>The lighthearted story has since gone viral, giving fans a glimpse into the unconventional dynamic between the global star born Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini and her father, who is best known for his role in the iconic film Sarafina! alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Leleti Khumalo.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the video below:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Doja Cat fooling around with his South African biological father\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was messaging my father cause he\u2019s here in Africa and he said that he couldn\u2019t make it to my show because I don\u2019t message him enough and I didn\u2019t call him on WhatsApp so I sent him gay p*rn and I said if you\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/i28lTknttp\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/i28lTknttp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Azania (@azania1023) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/azania1023\/status\/2034925146834714757?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">March 20, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 4 -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Doja #Cat #trolls #dad #Dumisani #Dlamini #refuses #attend #Pretoria #show<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; Doja Cat publicly pokes fun at her father again American rapper Doja Cat has left fans amused after sharing&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":53366,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53365","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53365","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53365"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53365\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53367,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53365\/revisions\/53367"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53366"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53365"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
