Doechii has been having herself an incredible year. She won Best Rap Album at the Grammys and showed herself to be one of the most creative young talents in hip-hop. Alligator Bites Never Heal was a coming out part of sorts for the artist. In 2025, things are set to get even better for her.
Tonight, the artist found herself at the BET Awards where she was nominated for Best Female Hip-Hop Artist. She was in a stacked category with the likes of Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion, GloRilla, and even Sexyy Red. However, she came out victorious, and no one is particularly surprised about it.
Having said that, it did not take long for Doechii to make an impression with her speech. While speaking to the crowd at the Peacock Theater, the artist referenced what was happening outside. ICE raids have taken Los Angeles by storm, and there are protests across the city.
However, the military is set to be deployed, and Doechii wanted to make a statement about that. She noted the Trump administration is hurting marginalized groups and that everyone needs to stand together.
