Doechii Calls Out ICE Raids & President Trump at 2025 BET Awards: ‘People Are Being Swept Up & Torn From Their Families’

The Florida rapper used her speech to speak out against injustice. Here's what she had to say about the protests happening in L.A.

The Florida rapper continued her winning year by being named best female hip hop artist at Monday night’s (June 9) show, and instead of using her speech to talk about all she’s accomplished since dropping the critically acclaimed mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal, she addressed the protests happening right outside the Peacock Theater in downtown L.A., criticizing President Trump ‘s use of force. In a move that’s been highly criticized, President Trump deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles over the weekend as an attempt to quell people protesting against ICE immigration raids that have been happening all over the city. And Doechii isn’t the only artist to speak out: Tyler, The Creator, The Game, Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, Rage Against the Machines’s Tom Morello, and Kehlani have all voiced support for the protesters as well.
