“I’m just thinking about my dad ’cos he was in Sarafina! and yeah. So, seeing you and meeting you is the craziest thing,” Doja Cat says, looking at Whoopi in awe.
Whoopi then asks what her dad’s name was and the Juicy hitmaker replies, “Dumisani.” The actress appears shocked as she remembers who he played in the classic musical drama film.
The rapper then says she hasn’t met her own father, “I ain’t get to meet him but you did.” Whoopi responds by saying he is a really good man.
Despite Whoopi’s words, many tweeps slammed the Isibaya actor for being an absent father. The Juicy hitmaker has previously spoken about how her father has not been in her life.
