Doechii Is Now a Grammy Award-Winning Swamp Princess
Briefly

Doechii made history at the 2025 Grammys by winning Best Rap Album for her mixtape 'Alligator Bites Never Heal'. Becoming only the third woman to take home this award, she highlighted the significance of her achievement in a category previously dominated by male nominees. In a heartfelt acceptance speech, she expressed gratitude to her supporters and spoke about her identity as the "Swamp Princess" from Tampa, Florida. Notably, she encouraged Black women to embrace their identities and break free from societal stereotypes, advocating for broader recognition of talent from their communities.
Three women have won since the category was introduced: Lauryn Hill, Cardi B, and Doechii.
There's so many people out there who probably don't know who I am... I call myself the Swamp Princess 'cause I'm from Tampa, Florida!
Anything is possible. Don't allow anybody to project any stereotypes onto you that tell you that you can't be here.
You are exactly who you need to be, to be right where you are. And I am a testimony!
