\n\tIn a touching tribute penned for Them<\/a>,<\/em> the \u201cAin\u2019t It Fun\u201d singer offered plenty of praise for the \u201cDenial Is a River\u201d rapper, sharing that she\u2019s been closely watching her career since her performance<\/a> at the 2022 BET Awards. \u201cWatching her on that stage, I had the same feeling I did the first time I saw Missy Elliott on MTV as a kid,\u201d Williams said. \u201cIt was raw, bold, unmistakable talent \u2014 the kind that doesn\u2019t wait for permission. She came out swinging, and I remember thinking,\u00a0Oh, she\u2019s taking it. This is hers.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n

\n\tPrior to Williams\u2019 discovery of Doechii, the rapper had already paid tribute to Paramore through a sample of the band\u2019s hit ballad \u201cThe Only Exception\u201d on her 2020 single \u201cYucky Blucky Fruitcake.\u201d Williams pointed out in her tribute that she \u201chadn\u2019t even caught\u201d the interpolation when she first saw Doechii\u2019s performance. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe singer went on to praise Doechii\u2019s self-assured artistry, and even added that she still aspires to that level of confidence more than 20 years into her career as a performer. \u201cPeople sometimes assume because of how I am onstage, that I carry that same confidence. But the truth is, that kind of boldness is something I still have to work to access,\u201d she said. \u201cWith Doechii, though, that energy feels inherent. When I listen to her, I\u00a0feel<\/em>\u00a0it \u2014 like it transfers through the speakers. And I think a lot of her listeners feel the same way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWilliams added that the rapper\u2019s openness about her sexuality is just another example of how Doechii is doing music stardom on her own terms. \u201cIt\u2019s powerful to watch an artist like her speak openly about identity in the public eye,\u201d she said. \u201cWe need that. We need women who are unapologetic about who they are, who they love, what they believe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tClosing her tribute, Williams thanked Doechii for giving performers everywhere \u2014 including herself \u2014 something to aspire to. \u201cWatching someone emerge with that kind of confidence, that kind of clarity, is a gift,\u201d she said. \u201cShe reminds me \u2014 and probably a lot of people \u2014 that moving through the world with certainty doesn\u2019t mean you stop learning or growing. It just means you know your worth as you go. And that, to me, is something to look up to.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tDoechii is coming off yet another big win, this time at the 2025 BET Awards, where she took home the trophy for best female hip hop artist. During her speech at the ceremony, Doechii called out President Donald Trump activating the National Guard<\/a> in response to the ongoing Los Angeles protests<\/a> around ICE raids in the city. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI want y\u2019all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us. What type of government is that?\u201d she asked the crowd. \u201cPeople are being swept up and torn from their families, and I feel it\u2019s my responsibility as an artist to use this moment to speak up for all oppressed people.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
