Doechii is making waves both for her Grammy nominations and her bold take on relationships and sexuality. With four Grammy nods to her name, the Swamp Princess is celebrating her success while speaking her truth about love, inclusivity, and breaking societal norms.
During a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, the trailblazing rapper opened up about her personal life, sharing insights about her bisexuality and her openness to dating bisexual men. This candid discussion was sparked while reflecting on a past relationship.
“I mean, that was never the problem,” Doechii said, addressing the issues she faced in the relationship. “I think the problem was that you cheated on me. And you also couldn’t let me know upfront. Which is sad.”
“I’m bisexual. That’s cool. I’ve dated bisexual men. Let me know what it is upfront. I will accept you for who you are. It doesn’t really matter. I think it was like cheating on top of the lying and secrecy about just who you are as a person.”
Her comments challenged the double standards often faced by bisexual men in relationships. She pointed out the hypocrisy of her embracing her own fluid sexuality while rejecting someone else’s. “How can I be bisexual, and I’m not gonna date somebody who is also bisexual? Why? Because he’s a man?” she questioned. “I think that sexuality is fluid, and I really don’t give a damn.”
Earlier, Doechii delivered a standout performance of “Boiled Peanuts” and “Denial is a River” on Wednesday’s The Late Show With Stephen Colbert episode.
Taking to the stage, Doechii showed off the commanding presence and creative vision that made her debut major label full-length Alligator Bites Never Heal one of the best albums of 2024.
Styled in Gucci and Adidas, the Florida-bred musician and her two background dancers intertwine through a fully choreographed dance routine, bringing the personal narrative of the songs to life.
“This one is for Hip Hop,” the Top Dawg Entertainment artist posted on X Thursday morning, sharing the video of her performance. She went on to express her inspiration and show appreciation for the platform.
“I felt heavily inspired by the lineage of Hip Hop and how it contributes to who I am today. This is my first self-choreographed performance, and one of the most important things I wanted to highlight was my connection to black women through Hip Hop. With the help of hair artist Malcom Marquez, we were able to make this symbolic art performance come to life in just a short week,” she added. Continuing, “This is my take on the future of Hip Hop. This is blackness. This is luxury. This is history.”
