Lauryn Hill Lets Doechii Handle Rap Duties During Live Performance Of “Doo Wop (That Thing)”
The Grammy Award-winning artists performed together in Miami over the weekend.
Lauryn Hill bestowed quite the honor to Doechii recently: the opportunity to perform the second verse of Hill’s beloved classic, “Doo Wop (That Thing),” during a live performance.
Over the weekend, the Jazz in the Garden Music Festival in Miami Gardens, Florida, took place. A part of the event was a set curated by Hill, which she used to bring Doechii out to perform “Doo Wop” with her.
“I want to introduce y’all to another sistah,” Hill said as she brought the Florida rapper onstage to handle the song’s second verse, which she did effortlessly.
After the special moment, Doechii thanked Hill for the opportunity, writing on X, “Thank you Miss Lauryn Hill. Thank you. My heart is so full. She is my hero. This is the greatest honor hip-hop could give me. Praise God. My entire body is vibrating with joy right now. I’ll never forget this day! EVER!”
Doechii and Hill share a notable accomplishment: they’re two of three women (with the third being Cardi B) who’ve earned the Best Rap Album award from the Grammys — something that Doechii acknowledged during her acceptance speech at this year’s awards ceremony.
“This category was introduced in 1989, and two women have won — three women have won! Lauryn Hill, Cardi B and Doechii!” she said after winning Best Rap Album for Alligator Bites Never Heal.
“I know that there is some Black girl out there, so many Black women out there that are watching me right now, and I wanna tell you — you can do it,” she added. “Anything is possible, don’t allow anybody to project any stereotypes on you… you are exactly who you need to be, to be right where you are, and I am a testimony.”
