The world of hip-hop is no stranger to comparisons, but when it comes to Doechii, things are getting a little spicy. A number of Nicki Minaj fans have pointed fingers at the rising star, accusing her of copying Nicki’s signature sound. The online debate kicked off when someone shared the phrase,
“Doechii’s hands are deep in Nicki’s nachos,” and just like that, a meme was born.
The internet lost its mind, with both fan bases taking their sides, offering everything from humor to outright criticisms. So, what is the deal?

The post quickly went viral, sparking a heated (and often hilarious) discussion. Some folks laughed it off as a harmless roast, while others felt that Doechii was treading too closely to Nicki’s territory. What followed was a hilarious, food-themed critique of the whole situation.
The meme used the concept of "reheating nachos" as a metaphor for reusing someone else’s ideas. But why did this meme go viral? Well, humor always wins the internet, particularly when you combine it with a bit of pop culture. The phrase was catchy, and fans couldn't help but dive in.
Fan Reactions: "So Unoriginal" vs. "Get Off Doechii’s Back"
As the meme spread, Nicki Minaj fans wasted no time voicing their opinions. For many, it wasn’t just a meme. It was a real issue. Some fans claimed that Doechii was simply imitating Nicki's style, pointing out the similarities in her vocal delivery and flow. One fan tweeted, “Doechii is stealing Nicki’s sound, and no one is calling it out.” They felt that the newcomer was copying Nicki’s entire vibe, from her energy to her voice.

On the other side, there were fans defending Doechii, arguing that she’s just drawing inspiration from a legend, something all artists do. One fan pointed out that music evolves through influence. They made the case that calling Doechii an imitator was too harsh. In addition, they claimed that the rapper has a style that is unique to her.

And then, of course, there were the memes. The internet loves to turn arguments into jokes, and this one was no exception. Fans lost their minds, turning the "nacho" theme into a full-fledged joke. Another had a photo of Doechii with nachos in hand, and Nicki's face was photoshopped onto the cheese. The memes were endless, and they kept the conversation light and fun.
Some even argued that Doechii is doing it better.
“So what if Doechii's taking Nicki's nachos? She’s doing it better than her anyway,” another person commented.
And, of course, the Grammy debate made its way into the conversation.
“One has a Grammy, and the other doesn’t! That says it all,” a fan pointed out, referring to Doechii’s win and Nicki’s long-standing lack of one.
Others doubled down, taking direct shots at Nicki.
“Nicki is washed and used up her last drop of creativity years ago, so Doechii can reheat whatever nachos she wants. Who cares?” one fan wrote.
In the end, the whole “Doechii’s hands are deep in Nicki’s nachos” debate is really just a humorous take on a bigger issue in the music world's originality. It's considered by some fans to be a blatant rip-off, and others think it's just a game.
Doechii might be ripping off Nicki or maybe just inspired by her; we'll never know. What we do know is that both artists have their own flavor. We can sit back and enjoy the memes, the music, and maybe even a plate of nachos for the time being. After all, being original doesn't necessarily mean having to reinvent the wheel occasionally. It's simply about giving it your own spin.
