Since claiming the Best Rap Album Grammy, Doechii has found herself at the center of escalating criticism. This negativity has almost morphed into a trend where her success is constantly downplayed, with streamer Adin Ross taking the lead by labeling her an 'industry plant' amidst her recent Met Gala controversy.
Doechii has fought back, subtly addressing Adin in her hit track "girl, get up," where she spits lyrics like, "All that industry plant sh*t wack... Y'all can't fathom that I work this hard / And y'all can't fathom that I earned this chart." Her talent shines through despite the growing wave of dissidence.
However, the Florida-born artist may find it challenging to manage the ever-increasing negativity, particularly following her feature on A$AP Rocky's track Don't Be Dumb.
Featuring on "ROBBERY," a bold and jazz-infused track laden with sexual tension, Doechii's chemistry with Rocky has garnered both praise and heavy backlash. While some listeners applaud her flow and songwriting, an equally vocal faction expresses their disdain for her presence.
Who Is Featured On Don't Be Dumb?
Critics argue that Rocky could have achieved more without her contribution, but it's tough to discern who genuinely dislikes her art amidst the flood of hate.
Despite the backlash, this collaboration marks a monumental achievement for Doechii, setting the stage for future successes.
For Rocky, the release signifies the end of an almost eight-year drought between albums. Don't Be Dumb, his fourth LP, has been generally well-received by fans, partly thanks to a stellar lineup of featured artists including will.i.am, Sauce Walka, Westside Gunn, Gorillaz’s Damon Albarn, Tyler, The Creator, and Jessica Pratt.
