's family dysfunction appears to be spilling into the public eye.
Dumisani Dlamini, the father of the Grammy-winning artist, defended himself on social media over the weekend from allegations he wasn't an involved or caring parent to Doja Cat, placing the blame on her mother for 'brainwashing' her.
The issue began as the Say So singer, 30, was playing a show at the SunBet Arena in Pretoria, , the country where Dlamini lives.
The performance, labeled the Global Citizen Move Afrika concert, marked the first time Doja Cat performed in the country.
In clips labeled 'The Deadbeat Chronicles,' Doja Cat said that she had been in contact with her father, and offered him a ticket, but he declined, saying she doesn't 'message him enough.'
Doja Cat said she then played a prank on her father, sending him a link to gay pornography under the guise of being a site where he could acquire tickets to her show.
The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Doja Cat for further comment.

The Paint the Town Red vocalist said, 'I sent him gay porn, and I said, "If you go to this link, you can get a ticket" - super duper easy.'
Doja Cat, whose full name is Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, said that her father told her he was 'very busy doing costume and rehearsal' and unable to check the link she sent.
The singer said her father continued sending messages while he was at work, telling her he didn't have time to check the link she sent him.

Dlamini in a retort clip slammed Doja Cat's mother Deborah Sawyer for what he said was a longtime, misleading narrative about his parenting efforts to their daughter.
