Fresh off her win for Best Female Hip Hop Artist, Doechii took the stage and didn’t hold back. While the crowd celebrated her artistry and meteoric rise, the Florida-born rapper used her moment to spotlight a deeper issue facing communities across the country.
“There are ruthless attacks that are creating fear and chaos in our communities in the name of law and order,” she said, her voice steady and unapologetic.

Doechii’s remarks come just hours after Donald Trump publicly announced plans to deploy an additional 4,000 troops to Los Angeles, aimed at reinforcing ICE agents as immigration raids and detainments continue to shake the city—particularly within its Latino neighborhoods.
Her speech instantly lit up social media, with fans and fellow artists praising her courage and clarity. In an industry where silence often speaks louder than outrage, Doechii made it clear she’s not just here to take home trophies—she’s here to stand for something.
As LA remains on edge, voices like hers are proving more important than ever.
