Doja Cat's Brother Accused of Knocking Out Singer's Teeth in Shocking Restraining Order Request Filing

Doja Cat’s brother was recently accused of knocking out the singer’s teeth in a shocking restraining order request filed by Doja’s mother, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Doja’s mother, Deborah Sawyer, made the startling allegations against the 28-year-old rapper’s older brother, Raman Dlamini, in a permanent restraining order request filed in Los Angeles on January 12.
According to Sawyer, Dlamini knocked out Doja’s teeth and committed other “physical and verbal abuse” against the singer. It is currently unclear exactly when the alleged abuse transpired.
“Raman has verbally assaulted her in a very degrading and demeaning [manner],” Doja’s mother wrote, per the restraining order request obtained by TMZ on Wednesday.
Sawyer also alleged that Dlamini made Doja “feel unsafe and traumatized.” Dlamini also allegedly stole and damaged the Best Friend hitmaker’s personal property.
Meanwhile, Doja’s mother also claimed that her son, 30, physically abused and threatened her several times over the course of the past year. The most recent incident allegedly occurred earlier this month.
Although Sawyer was granted several temporary restraining orders against her son starting in 2017, the orders have since expired. Sawyer was granted another temporary restraining order earlier this month pending a hearing for the permanent restraining order request.
According to TMZ, Doja would not be protected under her mother’s restraining order against Dlamini. The Paint the Town Red singer would have to file her own restraining order request against her brother.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the fresh allegations that Doja’s brother knocked her teeth out came weeks after the singer and rapper – whose real name is Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini – faced backlash for promoting accused Neo-Nazi Sam Hyde online.
Doja uploaded several pics of herself wearing a t-shirt that featured Hyde holding a rifle to social media back in October. She was forced to delete the social media posts following the backlash.
"Imagine being a pick me for incels…like Doja Cat is really trying her best to be canceled and un-famous again just so she can get back to those racial chat rooms full time,” one social media user wrote during the controversy.
"Doja Cat gets away with being a TERRIBLE person because she has that cringe 'quirky' white incel panderer thing going on for her,” wrote another.

The Say So rapper was also accused of “hating her fans” last year when they started to refer to themselves as “Kittenz” much like Taylor Swift’s fans refer to themselves as “Swifties.”
“If you call yourself a ‘Kitten’ or f------ ‘Kittenz’ that means you need to get off your phone and get a job and help your parents with the house,” Doja said in July 2023.
But the rapper then debunked the rumors that she “hated her fans” during an interview with Apple Music released last month.
“One thing I do want to set straight is: You’ll never see a direct quote of me saying I hate my fans. Not once,” she said. “But it’s a really big, misquoted thing. Everybody is saying she hates her fans. Never said that, but I do like to play with that as a meme.”
