Doechii has really been on a roll in recent years. She went from never even imagining she would make it out of her hometown to becoming a TikTok sensation with her 2021 hit ‘Yucky Blucky Fruitcake,’ and now finally winning her first Grammy—complete with a historic record—the rapper is finally getting the recognition she deserves.

Doechii's Grammys 2025 speech after she won best rap album for her mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal was both poignant and celebratory. She noted that since the category was first introduced in 1989, only two women had won it, but then she corrected herself. Three women.
