Doechii Addresses Industry Plant Allegations
With Doechii coming on so quickly as an artist, many fans of the rap industry had accused her of being an industry plant. While accepting her Billboard honor, Doechii seemed to address those critics.
“We are the creatives, we are the executives and we are the innovators who are just as central to this industry as the men. Clock it!” She said.
“And I want everybody to hear me clearly when I say that it is not a button, it is our brains. It is not a machine, it is our leadership. It is not a conspiracy, it is our vulnerability. And it is not an agenda, it’s God!”
She also addressed her journey to superstardom, noting that it was only two years ago when she accepted the Rising Star award from Billboard.
“I cannot believe it was just two years ago I stood on this stage right here and accepted the Billboard Rising Star Award,” she said.
“ I had literally performed so hard I danced my shoes off and had to hop up to the mic. And here I am. That moment reflects how I approach my career – always go full out, always go hard, and always be fab”
Doechii has garnered the attention of some of the biggest hitmakers in the industry. And as she continues to rack up the awards, her popularity will keep rising.
