The budding rap superstar won her first grammy for best rap album during the telecast for the 2025 Grammy Awards for her mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal. Her win makes her only the third woman, after Lauryn Hill (who won as a part of the group The Fugees) and Cardi B, to take home the golden statue for rap album since the award was first introduced 35 years ago.
An emotional Doechii took to the stage to celebrate her win.
“I put my heart and my soul into this mixtape,” she said. “I bared my life. I went through so much, I dedicated myself to sobriety and God told me that I would be rewarded and that he would show me just how good it can get.” The rapper has been open about her sobriety, even making it the subject of her single, “DENIAL IS A RIVER,” from her (now Grammy-winning) album.
The rapper went on to thank various people who helped her professionally, including her mother, her label and her fans.

The budding rap superstar won her first grammy for best rap album during the telecast for the 2025 Grammy Awards for her mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal. Her win makes her only the third woman, after Lauryn Hill (who won as a part of the group The Fugees) and Cardi B, to take home the golden statue for rap album since the award was first introduced 35 years ago.
An emotional Doechii took to the stage to celebrate her win.
“I put my heart and my soul into this mixtape,” she said. “I bared my life. I went through so much, I dedicated myself to sobriety and God told me that I would be rewarded and that he would show me just how good it can get.” The rapper has been open about her sobriety, even making it the subject of her single, “DENIAL IS A RIVER,” from her (now Grammy-winning) album.
The rapper went on to thank various people who helped her professionally, including her mother, her label and her fans.
Doechii’s win doesn’t only make her the second solo female rapper to take home the coveted Grammy award, it means that 100% of the solo female rappers who have taken home the golden Gramophone are Black, queer women. Cardi B, who presented the award that she won in 2019 for Invasion of Privacy, has been open about her bisexuality throughout her career, even to the point of getting in several social media spats over her love of women.
Doechii ended her speech by shouting out to all the Black women watching.
“I know that there is some Black girl out there, so many Black women out there who are watching me right now, and I want to tell you, you can do it,” Doechii said. “Anything is possible. Don’t allow anybody to project any stereotypes on you, that tell you that you can’t be here, that you’re too dark or that you’re not smart enough or that you’re too dramatic or you’re too loud.” She added: “You’re exactly who you need to be to be right where you are.”
This Grammy win is another banner moment in a major year for the queer rapper. Aside from releasing her acclaimed mixtape in August, she also guest starred on RuPaul’s Drag Race earlier this month, catapulting her song “Alter Ego,” which was the soundtrack to a Lip Sync for Your Life, to its largest day on Spotify ever."
