Doja Cat – Jewish

Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, known as Doja Cat, is a Grammy-winning rapper, singer and producer born October 21, 1995, in Los Angeles, CA. She is known for her viral hits “Say So,” “Kiss Me More” and “Mooo!” In addition to a Grammy, she has won six Billboard Music Awards and five AMAs. Raised by a Jewish-American mother and a South African father, Doja Cat identifies as Jewish through her maternal lineage. “My mom was kinda a hip-hop head,” she said in a 2013 YouTube video, “really ironic because like—I’m Jewish, my grandma’s Jewish, she’s white, and she was never exposed to music like that.”
