Doja Cat’s Brother Served With Legal Papers Amid Allegations of Abuse

January 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Recording artist Doja Cat’s family drama continues to unfold as her brother, Raman Dlamini, has been served with legal paperwork related to a temporary restraining order filed by their mother, Deborah Sawyer. The legal action comes after Sawyer accused Raman of horrific acts of violence, causing her to seek protection for herself and her famous daughter.

According to documents obtained by Radar Online, Raman Dalithando Dlamini, 30, was formally served with the temporary restraining order by a deputy sheriff last week after multiple failed attempts to locate him. The paperwork is intended to keep him away from their mother, who alleges both physical and verbal abuse at the hands of her son.

Deborah Sawyer’s petition for the restraining order highlights the gravity of the situation, detailing instances of alleged physical and verbal abuse perpetrated by Raman. She sought protection not only for herself but also for her daughter, Doja Cat, a renowned recording artist in the music industry.

However, the judge overseeing the case only partially granted the temporary restraining order, citing “insufficient good cause shown” to extend protection to Doja Cat herself. The judge advised that if Doja wishes to seek protection from her brother, she should file for her own temporary restraining order.

The legal documents, filed on January 25 in the Los Angeles Superior Court, confirm that Raman was successfully served with the temporary restraining order related to his mother on January 23. A deputy sheriff located Doja’s older brother at his Studio City, CA, apartment early in the morning at 7:30 AM.

With the recent turn of events, which includes Blueface getting mad that Christian and his other baby mama, Jaidyn Alexis, were hanging out together, things get even more heated.

Of course, both parties love to go on Instagram Live to spill the tea. Chrisean went live to address Blueface’s recent claims that he is not the father. She even called him out for not being fit to raise her child.

And then… she goes on to attack his sexuality.

“Let’s talk about what I saw in your search history,” Chrisean states. “I was going to keep it to myself but I really had to get you off my neck because … I don’t know if you taking dick in the butt, like I don’t even know why you watching gay porn.”

This comes after Chrisean went to get her neck tattoo of Blueface covered up.

“I’m glad you don’t wanna be my baby daddy,” she continues. “I don’t want no Frooty Loop raising my kid. I just apologize because, I don’t know, I’m attached to a weirdo that say weirdo shit online.”

Prior to the IG Live, Chrisean first took to Twitter to send Blueface a message: “Let’s talk about how I saw Gay porn in your recent search history that’s why I honestly got the cover up bro I had zesty n-gga on my neck nothing wrong with being bisexual just let a bitch no before she fall inlove weirdo.”
