Is docheii gay

During her recent “Hot Ones” appearance, Doechii shared what she considers a “huge red flag” when it comes to dating: “a unbent man.”

“Like, I mean, strike one, you’re a man,” she said to her DJ, Yearn Milan, after the two shared a laugh and shook on it, “and you’re heterosexual.”

The Grammy-winning rap creator, who identifies as bisexual, didn’t present much explanation after revealing her reply. Likely because she’s been quite unlocked about her homosexual identity ever since she broke into music with her 2020 hit “Yucky Blucky Fruitcake.” “I think I enjoy girls, but I think I fond of men/ Doechii is a dick, I never fit in,” the lyrics articulate.

The revelation isn’t breaking news, especially for those familiar with Doechii before her explosive 2024 breakthrough. Still, that didn’t stop fevered discourse from erupting online once a clip of the 26-year-old’s “Hot Ones” response went viral on Friday.

Many of the comments and quote-tweets from male users on X (formerly Twitter) were, as expected, ignorant and homophobic. So much so that DJ Fail Milan took to the platform to defend Doechii’s remark.

“At this point, you all just crave a reason to just overreact because now ‘p

Growing up as part of the LGBTQ+ community in the South, acceptance wasn’t always readily available to me. As a bisexual person woman living in Tampa, Florida during the early 2000s, I stood out from the perceived norm. I felt marginalized by my Southern community until I found my sanctuary online. The LGBTQ+ community provided me with the support and encouragement to defy societal norms and welcome my true self unapologetically.

When “Yucky Blucky Fruitcake” was released, I heard and saw my community wish more. It encapsulated my journey as a Black lady navigating self-discovery, exploring aspects of individuality, sexuality, and universal perception.

‘Like Doechii, I’ll Only Date Men If They’re Queer — What’s So Controversial About That?’

A petty while (too soon, if I’m honest) after my first long-term queer relationshipended, I found myself on one of the apps, contemplating an introspective question: who do I want to be seen by? And do I want to include straight men in my dating pool? Given that I’ve always identified as bisexual, I shrugged my shoulders and decided to see what would happen if I cast my net as wide as possible.

The result was a hang out with a cisgender heterosexual dude a week or so later where I paid for his dinner, he insulted my ego, and I stormed back to the tube alone, vowing to only date other queer people from now on. That was nearly five years ago, and I haven’t looked back since.

I later learnt that my ruling was not an uncommon one; lots of bisexual, pansexual, and queer people — who in theory might be open to dating cishet people — decide only to date other homosexual people. For many of us, it’s a safety precaution: other queer people are less likely to hold unchallenged queerphobic opinions, and are more likely to allow you to express your identity openly and freely.

The Grammy-winning rapper, singer, and all-around powerhouse has made waves in the song industry with her bold lyrics, animated style, and unapologetic personality. But beyond her music and undeniable stage presence, fans often wonder one question: is Doechii gay?

The “What It Is (Block Boy)” hitmaker has always been open about her persona. Still, in recent years, she’s spoken more candidly about her sexuality — embracing it in a way that’s inspiring for her fans and the LGBTQIA+ community.

Doechii’s Sexuality: The Truth, Straight From the Source

Doechii, born Jaylah Hickmon, has proudly claimed her place in the LGBTQIA+ community, confirming that she identifies as bisexual. While some fans speculated about her sexuality based on her lyrics and common persona, she made it crystal clear in multiple interviews that her attraction to women has never been a phase—it’s always been part of her identity.

“I think I’ve always been gay,” she playfully told Gay Times last year. “I always knew I
