Doechii Wins Best Rap Album for Alligator Bites Never Heal at 2025 Grammys

I put my heart and my soul into this mixtape. I bared my life. I went through so much. I dedicated myself to sobriety and god told me that I would be rewarded and that he would show me just how good it can get. And I have to thank god. I need to thank my beautiful mother for coaching me. I want to thank my label, my engineer Jada for everything she did, my fans, to the Swamp. There’s so many people out there who probably don’t know who I am. I call myself the Swamp Princess because I’m from Tampa, Florida. There’s so much culture in Florida. Whenever people think about Florida, they only think about Miami, but Tampa has so much talent. Labels, go to Tampa, there’s talent there, okay? Thank you so much to my label, TDE, and everybody that helped put this together. All the producers on the project, I thank you. Thank you to hip-hop. The last thing I want to say – oh my god, there’s so much going on, what the fuck? Sorry! I know that there is some Black girl out there, so many Black women that are watching me right now and I want to tell you: You can do it. Anything is possible. Anything is possible. Don’t allow anybody to project any stereotypes on you that tell you that you can’t be here, that you’re too dark, that you’re not smart enough or that you’re too dramatic or that you’re too loud. You are exactly who you need to be to be right where you are and I am a testimony. Praise god.
