Doechii Defends Grammy Performance Against Lip-Sync Accusations

The rapper emphasized the live nature of her complex Grammys performance, which she delivered while battling bronchitis and the flu.

Doechii addressed rumors of lip-syncing during her 2025 Grammys performance in a TikTok video, calling the claims unfounded and frustrating.
She explained that her DJ's voice was used to cover lines she couldn't deliver during physically demanding choreography, including a somersault.
The performance featured intricate visuals, choreography, and live vocals, which she says were amplified by her microphone picking up sounds like her hair beads.
Doechii performed while ill with bronchitis and the flu, adding to the challenge of executing one of her most ambitious live sets to date.
The artist made history as the third woman to win Best Rap Album and delivered an emotional acceptance speech celebrating Black women and perseverance.
