Paramore’s Hayley Williams has tipped Doechii to “win every Grammy”.
Hayley Williams is gunning for Doechii at the 2025 Grammy Awards
The 26-year-old rapper – whose real name is Jaylah Hickmon – recently opened up about how the pop-punk band was the first rock band she listened to and how frontwoman Hayley, 35, had a “huge impression” on her.
She told The Sydney Morning Herald: “Paramore was my first introduction to rock music.
“I know that rock music is popular but where I grew up in the South, in my culture and my radius, it wasn’t so popular. But she kind of changed my life and my perspective, and I learned about different types of music through Paramore. It made a huge impression on me and my style.”
And in response, the ‘Misery Business’ hitmaker showered Doechii with praise and said they “go way back”.
Sharing a screenshot of her comments from the article on her Instagram Stories, Hayley wrote: “This is my laaaadyyyyy. Don’t ever hurt her. We go all the way back even tho we only ever met one time. She better win every Grammy too. (sic)”
Doechii is nominated for Best Rap Album for ‘Alligator Bites Never Heal’, Best Rap Performance for ‘Nissan Altima’ and Best New Artist at the 2025 ceremony, which takes place on February 2.
Meanwhile, Doechii recently declared that she wants to “bring back” hip-hop’s “traditional roots”.
The singer – who went viral on TikTok in 2021 with her song ‘Yucky Blucky Fruitcake’ and later signed to Top Dawg Entertainment – says her aim with her third mixtape, ‘Alligator Bites Never Heal’, was to “represent” the relatable hip-hop she first fell in love with whilst also pushing it “forward”.
