Doechii was fired from her job. Now, she’s a first-time Grammy award winner. In a resurfaced 2020 YouTube video, the rapper, whose real name is Jaylah Ji’mya Hickmon, shared that she was let go and would look to other ways to make her dreams come true.

Tampa's very own Doechii made history at the 2025 Grammy Awards, bringing home the trophy for Best Rap Album for her critically acclaimed album "Alligator Bites Never Heal." The win marked a major milestone in the artist’s career, as this was her first-ever Grammy win.
