Doechii is undoubtedly having her moment in the spotlight, as music sensation SZA recently revealed that the 26-year-old rapper is her favorite artist right now. SZA took to X (formerly Twitter) on January 3 to share the news, following the recent release of the rapper's new music video—"Denial is a River."

"Yea doechii is my favorite artist rn hands down . F*ck the genre," SZA tweeted.

Aside from SZA, singers like Billie Eilish and Hayley Williams have also praised the rapper on their social media handles. However, this outpouring of praise from multiple artists at the same time has taken netizens by quite the surprise.


How fans reacted to this overwhelming love for Doechii

The recent disclosure by SZA regarding her favorite artist, along with the endorsements of Doechii by Hayley Williams and Billie Eilish, caused a flurry of humorous responses from online users. The unexpected wave of praise for Doechii on social media has sparked a new level of interest and curiosity among music enthusiasts.

Let's take a look at some of them.

Favorite's favorite

If SZA is your favorite artist, and Doechii is SZA's favorite artist, then does that make Doechii the ultimate musical favorite?


Paycheck incoming

Many netizens, such as this one, have expressed disbelief at the timing of the praise from all three artists and have hilariously suggested that Doechii might have paid them to promote her.


Who would've guessed?!

It is very common to see artists signed to the same label praising each other publicly, as it promotes them, the label, as well as future collaborations. So SZA praising another artist not even under her label seems intriguing.


Last round of voting for the Grammys

This user is hilariously convinced that all that praise for Doechii from the artists is due to the fact that the final round of voting for the 2025 Grammys closes on January 4, making the timing perfect.


Couldn't care less

Many users like this one have amusingly expressed how little they could care about which artist is another artist’s favorite. They find the whole situation to be trivial and insignificant in the grand scheme of things.


Why end the praise there?

Well, if SZA, Billie Eilish, and others are praising Doechii, then why stop there? This user seems to think that they are worthy of such praises too.


Stamp of approval

If music sensations like SZA and Billie Eilish are singing praises of Doechii, then this fan says that the listeners have no choice but to just go with it.

SZA's tweet definitely seems to have stirred her fans, as they probably weren't expecting the singer to announce such an unlikely favorite. But it's definitely a great boost for Doechii. Also, who knows, maybe there are some fire collaborations on the way!
