Rapper Doechii released the track “girl, get up (ft. SZA)” ahead of the new year, directly responding to criticism from streamer Adin Ross. The song, exceeding three minutes in length, addresses accusations made by Ross, who recently teased a diss track featuring 6ix9ine, claiming Doechii is an “industry plant.”
Doechii Responds to Criticism
In the new track, Doechii raps, “All that industry plant sh*t whack/I see it on the blogs, I see you in the chats.” She further addresses perceptions of her success, stating, “You suck every rap n*gga d*ck from the back, But what’s the agenda when the it girl black?/Y’all can’t fathom that I work this hard/And y’all can’t fathom that I earned this chart.”
The song also tackles misogyny within hip-hop and attempts to divide female rappers. Doechii states, “They callin’ me the intellect amongst the p*ssy rap, I still be poppin’ p*ssy, them my sisters, so I can’t agree with that,” and continues, “These n*ggas misogynistic, I’ll address it on the album/For now, let’s sink into the fact that hate don’t make you powerful.” The release suggests a shift in direction for the artist, and a debut album may be forthcoming.
TDE President Weighs In
Top Dawg Entertainment president Punch publicly supported Doechii on December 31, responding to the escalating tension with Adin Ross on X, formerly Twitter. Punch wrote, “I think Doe would actually mop little man in a head up fade 🤷🏽♂️.”
Punch’s comment, shared via Hot97 and X, has amplified the conflict. Neither Doechii nor Ross have directly responded to Punch’s statement. The situation highlights a potential divide between the worlds of rap and online streaming.
