Following her electrifying performance and historic win at the 2025 Grammy Awards, Doechii is experiencing a remarkable rise in her music career. Her album Alligator Bites Never Heal skyrocketed to No. 14 on the Billboard 200 chart, marking her first entry into the top 20 with 31,000 units sold in its first full sales week post-Grammys. This momentum reflects an impressive increase, more than doubling her weekly sales figures.
Doechii’s lead single, “Denial Is A River,” also achieved a milestone by reaching No. 27 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it her highest-charting single to date. On February 2, she made history as only the third woman to win the Best Rap Album award, joining the ranks of legends Lauryn Hill (1997) and Cardi B (2019). Her standout performance at the Grammys, where she seamlessly blended “Catfish” and “Denial Is a River,” showcased her dynamic stage presence and intricate choreography, capturing the attention of the audience.
In the wake of her Grammy triumph, Doechii released a new track titled “Nosebleeds,” which playfully references Kanye West’s 2005 Grammy acceptance speech. With a confident delivery, she raps, “Everybody wanted to know what Doechii would do if she didn’t win / I guess we’ll never—,” marking a bold assertion of her rising status in the music industry.
The visual for “Denial Is A River” followed a clever marketing campaign that teased fans with nostalgic ’90s sitcom-style promos. The resulting music video features appearances from artists like Zack Fox, Earl Sweatshirt, Teezo Touchdown, and ScHoolboy Q, further amplifying her artistic reach. In the video, Doechii effortlessly commands the screen, culminating in a dramatic explosion that symbolizes her unstoppable momentum in the industry.
Fans are now hoping to see Doechii join Kendrick Lamar and SZA on their Grand National Tour, set to begin in April and travel overseas in the summer of 2025. With her rising star power and undeniable talent, Doechii is poised to make a significant impact in the music scene in the coming months.
