Kanye West reportedly suspects Doechii is manufactured by the music business, and apparently has reasoning to support this claim. In footage posted by DJ Akademiks, Ye can allegedly be seen on a phone conversation with Top5 during a livestream.
While discussing how the industry positions “Kendrick over Drake,” Ye mentions Doechii.
“Who is Doechii? Is that how you say her name? Doechii?” West inquires.
Top5 answers, “That’s an industry plant, too.”
“That’s what I’m saying,” Ye responds.
Ye goes on to suggest that Doechii emerged only when Doja Cat, whom he called “talented [and] crazy,” began “popping all this Nazi shit.”
West didn’t clarify, but he might be referring to an incident from 2023 when Doja posted a selfie wearing a t-shirt featuring comedian Sam Hyde, who, according to Billboard, “reportedly has ties to the neo-Nazi movement.”
Doechii isn’t the only one Ye has labeled an industry plant. Last April, the Donda artist threw the same accusation at Kai Cenat after believing the streamer was trash-talking a pair of Yeezy pants he’d received.
“If you posting something negative, you sit on the wrong side of the future ’cause we out here stepping away from Adidas,” Ye told Justin LaBoy on The Download. Ye then specifically called Cenat an “industry plant.” He added, “That exact genre is the most industry plants. It’s about influence and mind control.”
“Who the fuck is Kai Cent?” Cenat fired back later. “Okay, buddy, first things first, Ye. I have been doing this shit since 2018. Facebook. Me. Bronx. Funny skits. Been doing this shit, Ye. You feel me!”
Cenat also pointed out that the pants were simply too large.
“The pants ain’t fit, my n***a! God damn. Why is he arguing, bruh? Man, what the fuck? Bro, Ye, just send me some new pants, bro. All of this cuz the pants ain’t fit?… Ye, just send me some new pants, bro. Like no cap… I’m far from an industry plant. I done got this shit out the mud.”
