Is Doechii the Next Rap Queen? Ex-Miami Heat Icon Dwyane Wade Co-Signs Denial is a River Singer

Move over, courtside celebrities, there's a new queen in the making, and she's spitting fire, not free throws. Just like a Steph Curry three-pointer from downtown, Doechii's rise has been nothing short of spectacular, culminating in a Grammy win and co-signs from hip-hop royalty. Even NBA legend Dwyane Wade, a name synonymous with clutch performances and championship rings, has publicly declared his admiration. It’s like LeBron James recognizing the next king on the court.
Wade recently shared a clip of Doechii performing DENIAL IS A RIVER featuring Issa Rae, a track from her mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal, which snagged the Best Rap Album Grammy earlier this month. The two-word caption: "The Talent." It's a baller move, acknowledging talent when you see it. DENIAL IS A RIVER has become a sensation, its infectious rhythm and powerful lyrics resonating with fans like a game-winning buzzer-beater. It's the kind of track that gets stuck in your head, looping like a highlight reel of your favorite player.

And Wade isn't the only superstar in Doechii’s corner. Last October, Kendrick Lamar, arguably the GOAT of modern rap, gave her his flowers, calling her "the hardest out" on Instagram. That's like Michael Jordan passing the torch to the rookie of the season.
Doechii's Grammy win, combined with the co-signs from Lamar and now Wade, has created a perfect storm of recognition. It’s not just about talent; it's about timing, momentum, and the right people recognizing your potential. Doechii has all of that and more. Her music is fresh, her delivery is captivating, and her lyrics are sharp. She's not just following trends, she's setting them.
