What Are Doja Cat’s Deadbeat Chronicles TikToks?
“The Deadbeat Chronicles” is a series of TikTok videos where Doja Cat candidly details her fractured relationship with her father. In a recent installment, she explained how he declined an invitation to her South Africa show, claiming she does not message or call him enough on WhatsApp.
In response, the Grammy winner sent him a link to TimTales, an amateur gay porn site, jokingly telling him it was a portal to purchase tickets. She later laughed about his confused reaction, where he questioned if the explicit site was a scam.

When he finally clicked it, he was bewildered. According to Doja, he told her, “Darling, what is this? What I’m seeing is gay porn… I don’t know if it’s a scam.” The singer found the entire exchange hilarious, sharing it with her followers under the ongoing chronicles title.
