Doja Cat’s Brother Addresses Abuse Claims
Doja Cat’s brother is denying abuse allegations after their mother stated he knocked the rapper’s teeth out once and that she has a restraining order against him. Raman Dalithando Dlamini, Doja’s brother, spoke to The Shade Room claiming that his mother’s statements were false.
Raman says that he hasn’t “seen anybody in years.” When asked if he was denying abuse allegations, he replied, “Yes.”
“There’s no story. There’s no restraining order against me,” said Raman
Earlier this week, TMZ reported Doja’s mother, Deborah Elizabeth Sawyer, claimed Raman was abusive towards his sister. She claimed he “verbally assaulted her in a very degrading and demeaning manner.” In another instance, she said he knocked the rapper’s teeth out and left her with cuts, bruises and feeling “unsafe and traumatized.” Sawyer additionally claims that Raman has stolen and destroyed Doja’s belongings.
According to Sawyer, Doja was not the only alleged victim of his abuse, which includes allegedly threatening to kill her. Sawyer has had a restraining order since 2017 from her son, but it has since expired. A judge has granted Sawyer a court-ordered protection from Raman. She is seeking a permanent restraining order. As for Doja, the judge did not grant her a restraining order as she would need to file her own request for protection.
In other Doja news, she will be headlining Coachella this year. She made her official debut at the festival back in 2022. She is the first female rapper to headline the festival. Coachella will run two weekends, starting Fri, Apr 12, 2024 to Sun, Apr 21, 2024.
Doja released her fourth studio album, Scarlet, back in September. As previously reported, the album is a true solo effort and contains no features. Scarlet has 15 tracks, with the lead single “Attention,” followed by “Paint The Town Red,” “Demons,” and “Balut.”
