South African actor Dumisani Dlamini recently revealed that he is still not feeling okay with his daughter not coming to see him, especially since she didn’t show up at his wedding. Its been years now that the actor always talks about how he is so willing to meet his daughter in person.
Dumisani always posts videos of his daughter on his Instagram account, and you can see how much he misses her. A few months ago, Doja Cat told her followers that, while she is aware of her father, she has never met him.
“I believe Dumisani will make things right by reaching out to her and allowing her to meet her siblings in person.”It was strange not to see her at the wedding,” the person stated.
According to IOL, Dumisani Dlamini met Doja Cat’s mother, Deborah Sawyer, a Jewish and American actress and painter, while on tour for the Sarafina film.
Doja Cat has showcased a unique and creative approach in her music videos, though not all fans have embraced it with open arms. Some expressed discomfort with the explicit and overtly satanic imagery and symbolism featured in her visual works.
