Doechii Is Now a Grammy Award–Winning Swamp Princess


Making history and delivering a tearful acceptance speech with her mom by her side.

After bursting into tears and bringing her mom onstage, the artist born as Jaylah Hickmon pointed out that only two women have won this category since it was introduced in 1989. “Lauryn Hill, Cardi B, and Doechii.” This year’s other nominees were J. Cole’s Might Delete Later, Eminem’s The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), Future and Metro Boomin’s We Don’t Trust You, and Common and Pete Rock’s The Auditorium, Vol. In her acceptance speech, Doechii thanked God, her “beautiful mother,” her label, her engineer, her producers, her swamp of fans, and hip-hop as a whole.
