Ladies, gentlemen, and those still emotionally recovering from last year’s Grammys—buckle up! Doechii just set the stage on fire (metaphorically, but honestly, it felt real) at the 2025 Grammy Awards on Sunday (February 2) at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
The 26-year-old rap powerhouse kicked off her performance of “Catfish” and “Denial is a River” dressed like a sophisticated gray cloud, thanks to an ensemble by designer Thom Browne. But just when you thought, “Wow, this is classy,” BAM—Doechii hit us with an unexpected wardrobe plot twist and ditched half her clothes, continuing the show in nothing but her underwear. And yes, the audience GASPED.
But wait, there’s more! Before she could even break a sweat on stage, Doechii had already snagged her first-ever Grammy, winning Best Rap Album for Alligator Bites Never Heal (which, let’s be honest, sounds like both a hard-hitting rap album AND medical advice). Her emotional acceptance speech had fans crying, cheering, and possibly Googling, “Do alligator bites actually never heal?”
The 2025 Grammys, hosted for the fifth year in a row by the ever-charismatic Trevor Noah (who might as well get a permanent lease on this gig), is airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. But if you missed Doechii’s jaw-dropping performance, don’t worry—we’ve got the must-watch clip right here.
Click play and prepare to be shook. 🚨🔥
