After the success at the Grammy Awards, where Doja Cat won a Grammy Award for the success of the song "Kiss Me More" with SZA, her father, Dumisani Dlamini, wrote on Instagram:
"I wanted to thank all those who supported my child, Zandile. God bless you all!"
(Zandile, because the 26-year-old's full name is Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini).
The post was quickly accompanied by comments like:
"Have you ever met? Please", "Hahah no tiii", "You were not even present as a father, calm down", "Yes, the fans should have supported her because you did not support her", "Keep her name away". your mouth "," Leave her alone "," How embarrassing! "," Have a little shame please. You probably do not even know for which song she won the award "," What is her favorite food? " , "Joo, no way."
According to some sources, the singer's father claims "that he left his family in the US to go to South Africa out of longing for his country", in the hope that they would join him there, however Doja Cat has said in many cases that "she is separated from her father" and that "she has never met him".
