Doechii Fires Back at Critics with New Track & receives Support from TDE
Doechii has officially entered 2024 with a powerful statement, releasing her new track “girl, get up (ft. SZA).” The song serves as a direct response to recent online criticism, especially from streamer Adin Ross, who has publicly questioned the rapper’s authenticity. This release signals a new, more assertive era for the rising star.
Addressing the Controversy
Ross has been vocal in accusing Doechii of being an “industry plant,” even teasing a diss track featuring 6ix9ine. Doechii doesn’t shy away from confronting these claims head-on in her new release. She raps, “All that industry plant sht whack/I see it on the blogs, I see you in the chats.”*
Furthermore, the track delves into deeper issues within the hip-hop landscape. Doechii addresses both the misogyny she faces and attempts to pit her against other female artists.She powerfully states, “They callin’ me the intellect amongst the pssy rap, I still be poppin’ pssy, them my sisters, so I can’t agree with that.”
Ultimately, Doechii emphasizes a crucial point: “These nggas misogynistic, I’ll address it on the album/For now, let’s sink into the fact that hate don’t make you powerful.”* This message resonates with a broader conversation about respect and empowerment in the music industry.
TDE Stands with Doechii
The support for Doechii extends beyond her own lyrics. Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) president Punch has publicly backed the rapper, escalating the situation with a bold statement on social media. On December 31st, Punch took to X (formerly Twitter) to declare his confidence in Doechii.
He wrote, “I think Doe would actually mop little man in a head up fade 🤷🏽♂️,” directly referencing Adin Ross. This comment wasn’t just a playful jab; it was a clear exhibition of TDE’s loyalty to its artist.
Punch’s history shows a pattern of publicly defending TDE artists with directness and humor.His statement signals that the label views Ross’s criticism as attention-seeking behavior rather than a legitimate challenge. This public display of support reinforces TDE’s commitment to protecting its artists and thier craft.
what This Means for Doechii
“girl, get up” isn’t just a response to negativity; it’s a declaration of independence and artistic strength. While a release date for Doechii’s debut album remains unconfirmed, this track strongly suggests it’s on the horizon.
Here’s what you can expect from Doechii moving forward:
* Increased Confidence: She’s no longer shying away from addressing critics.
* Stronger Voice: Doechii is using her platform to speak out against misogyny and industry pressures.

SZA)” now on all major streaming platforms.
