Serious claims against Doja Cat's brother emerge
Doja Cat’s fan account, @dojafrica, resurfaced serious allegations against the musician’s brother.
On 17 January 2024, TMZ reported that Doja Cat’s mother, Deborah Elizabeth Sawyer, accused her then 30-year-old son of verbally and physically abusing the American musician. According to Sawyer, Raman Dalithando Dlamini had knocked out Doja Cat’s teeth. She also alleged that Raman had given Doja cuts and bruises and destroyed and stolen some of Doja's property.
The judge ruled in Doja’s mum’s favour and granted court-ordered protection from Raman pending a hearing for a permanent restraining order. The judge did not grant the same protection to Doja Cat and ruled that she would need to file her own request for a restraining order against her brother.
