Doechii, at the BET Awards, accepted her award for Best Female Hip Hop Artist while boldly condemning President Trump's extreme response to protests in Los Angeles. She invoked the honor of her award to highlight the ongoing chaos in her community caused by ICE raids, criticizing the use of military force to suppress protests. Doechii emphasized her duty as an artist to uplift marginalized voices and shed light on the consequences of governmental oppression, calling for reflection on the state of democracy in America.
There are ruthless attacks that are creating fear and chaos in our communities in the name of 'law and order'. Trump is using military forces to stop a protest.
What type of government is that? People are being swept up and torn from their families, and I feel it's my responsibility as an artist to use this moment to speak up for all oppressed people.
