Despite not dropping much solo material in 2025, Doechii has been having another astounding year with shows and awards.

Doechii’s been doing a good job, especially when it comes to ignoring the industry plant allegations. She’s been quieting the haters with one festival appearance after another, as well as with some incredible personal accolades. Don’t forget, she took home the Best Rap Album Grammy for her acclaimed mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal.

She became just the second solo female artist to take home the category, but third overall after Cardi B and Lauryn Hill during her Fugees days. However, Joe Budden has seemed to forget all of those impressive achievements, including her handful of guest spots on singles.

During an episode of his eponymous podcast, Joe stated how it’s “kind of fishy” that “ain’t nobody heard from Doechii” lately. His panel of co-hosts reacted with confusion and silence. Richard Parks Vallely and Damona “Don’t Call Me White Girl” Love were especially wondering what the context of his comments were.

Eventually, Lamar “Ice” Burney moved things along by getting into the Lil Durk case updates. Joe’s question has received some criticism on social media, including from Doechii’s close collaborator, DJ Miss Milan.

The “BOOM BAP” producer went nuclear on the rapper turned podcaster, clowning his looks while also listing off the Florida native’s resume as of late.
