Doechii has been yielding accusations of being an “industry plant” in recent months as she has finally began to see her years’ worth of work pay off in a major way.
And while accepting the honor for the 2025 Woman of the Year at Billboard’s Women in Music 2025 event on Saturday (March 29), the Grammy Award-winning star took a moment to remind the detractors of how long she’s been at this while shooting down the notion that her winning season is anything less than the direct result of her talent and the countless hours she’s put in the game.
“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.”
Later in the speech, she added: “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! 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!”
