A resurfaced video shows Grammy-winning rapper Doechii discussing her job loss five years ago, foreshadowing her rise to fame.
A recently resurfaced five-year-old video shows Grammy-winning rapper Doechii speaking about losing her job. In the 2020 YouTube video, titled simply, 'I got fired thank God,' Doechii recounts being fired from her previous position. 'So, I got fired today,' she says in the video while casually snacking on chips. 'Either way, I'mma be straight.
' The rapper then foreshadows her future success in the entertainment industry, stating, 'I think, tomorrow, I'm just gonna go to a whole bunch of studios and ask if they have any internships open and also just ask questions.' Doechii's album 'Alligator Bites Never Heal' earned her the Grammy for best rap album at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards on February 2nd. 'I have nothing to lose,' she adds. 'I literally have nothing to lose. I have no place, I have no job, I have no children. Who gives a f---? Who cares? Who f---ing cares? I'm just gonna do it. I'll let you know how that goes.' Later that year, Doechii would release her debut EP, 'Oh The Places You'll Go,' which she self-funded. She subsequently released two additional EPs in 2021 and 2022, and in 2024, she released her hit mixtape 'Alligator Bites Never Heal,' which earned her the Grammy for best rap album this month and helped her score a nomination for best new artist. Doechii (R) accepts the Best Rap Album award for 'Alligator Bites Never Heal' onstage during the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards at Crypto.com Arena on February 02, 2025, in Los Angeles. In her Grammys acceptance speech, the rapper delivered a powerful message to others like her, saying, 'I know that there is some Black girl out there, so many Black women out there that are watching me right now, and I want to tell you: You can do it. Anything is possible.' The singer, who performed her songs 'CATFISH' and 'DENIAL IS A RIVER' at the Grammys, was also nominated in the best rap performance category for her song 'NISSAN ALTIMA.
