In mid-January, the desperate situation that the singer Doja Cat was experiencing came to light. Her mother, Elizabeth Sawyer, asked the courts for a restraining order against her own son and the artist’s older brother, Raman Dalithando Dlamini . The reason, Dlamini’s alleged abuse of both.
Both physical and verbal abuse for which both she and the artist – real name Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini – would need immediate protection. They would have been the last attacks on the singer, which caused her “cuts”, “bruises” and the loss of several teeth; which led them to request restraining orders.
As Page Six reported at the time, the two women said they did not feel safe having Dlamini around, who had even threatened to kill them.
However, Doja Cat was unsuccessful in her success in obtaining a restraining order after accusing him of abuse and theft of several of her possessions, as the judge has denied it. As The Blast reports, she was only granted a restraining order against her mother, which has been extended for five more years.
Dlamani’s version, however, is somewhat different. Last month, the artist’s older brother claimed not to know who Doja Cat was, in addition to confirming that he had not received any restraining order from her sister, whom he claimed he had not seen in five years.
The relationship between the two brothers has always been somewhat complicated. Born to a North American mother and a South African father – whom the singer does not know – the two lived together as the few children of mixed origin in their community in Los Angeles, where they suffered racism.
“We looked different, our hair was different. People were racist, rude; they were crazy and strange,” he said in an interview with Rolling Stone in 2021. His brother ended up developing “behavioral problems” that ended up being “the protagonists.” of the house.”
With no presence on social networks and hardly any appearances in the press, Dlamani has always remained in the background. Until now, his mother and his sister have taken him to court, accused of abuse. The singer has not commented anything in public, at least for the moment.
