“Y’all Are Stupid As Hell”—Doechii Sets the Record Straight

When the internet starts running wild with rumors, some artists stay quiet. But not Doechii! The rapper wasted no time putting haters in their place with an unapologetic response.

“I can’t possibly get on here and say calmly or slow: y’all are stupid as hell—so slow!” she fired back in a video.

Breaking it down for the skeptics, she explained exactly what happened:

“That is my DJ’s voice picking up on the lines that I can’t say because I was doing a somersault. That entire performance was live! I was sick as a dog with bronchitis and the flu, performing my a– off in a straddle on top of human men. You can hear my beads slapping the mic in the beginning. Worked my a– off to build the stamina for that, for y’all to play in my face. I don’t lip sync. Don’t ever f—ing play with me like that. Ever!”

Doechii’s Performance Was One for the History Books

While some critics doubted her, true fans knew better. Doechii’s Grammy set was nothing short of legendary, blending rap, choreography, and raw vocal power. The high-energy performance, complete with backflips and gravity-defying stunts, was a testament to her dedication and artistry.

Many took to social media to defend the Florida native, calling out how much breath control and endurance it takes to perform live at that level.

The Internet Reacts: Fans Rally Behind Doechii

The internet wasn’t about to let Doechii’s hard work be disrespected. The hashtag #DoechiiWasLive started trending as fans and industry insiders alike rushed to her defense.
“Y’all stay trying to discredit Black women in music. Doechii ATE that performance, live vocals and all,” one fan tweeted.

Another fan pointed out the double standard in the industry, noting that male artists rarely get accused of lip-syncing despite using backing tracks.

Either way, Doechii wants everyone to get their facts straight and put some respect on her God-given talent.
