Accepting the award for Best Female Hip Hop Artist on Monday
night, the Top Dawg Entertainment artist criticized what she called “Trump’s
ruthless attacks” and condemned the government for disguising aggressive
actions as efforts to maintain “law and order.”
The ceremony took place at the Peacock Theater in downtown
Los Angeles just hours after violent clashes erupted between protesters and
police nearby, events Doechii acknowledged in her acceptance speech. She
emphasized the urgency of the moment, refusing to ignore the unrest unfolding
outside.
Doechii closed her speech by standing in solidarity with
Black, Latino, trans communities, and people in Gaza, calling for a world where
everyone can live without fear. It was her first time attending the BET Awards,
and her impassioned remarks ensured her speech, and the political tension
behind it, will be remembered alongside the night’s celebrations.
