On Thursday (Mar.4), Doechii released a remix to Belgian-Australian musician and singer Gotye’s 2011 hit, “Somebody That I Used To Know,” titled “Anxiety.” Using the track’s haunting 808 drums, Doechii channels all her anxious thoughts amid her meteoric rise to fame. “Solo, no mojo/I bounce back, no pogo,” she raps. Unhappy, no homo/New brands, no logos.” For the track’s visualizer, Doechii kept it simple — standing back-to-back with herself against a black and white background, as her cornrows intersect with one another, reminiscent of a performance she had on Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
However, it’s the track’s chorus that truly elevates the somber track. It almost acts as a reminder to the rapper not to let her anxiety get the best of her. “Anxiety, keep on tryin’ me/ I feel it quietly,” Doechii raps in a melodic tone. “Tryin’ to silence me, yeah/ Anxiety, shake it off of me/ Somebody’s watchin’ me/ It’s my anxiety, yeah (Brrah).” The track is currently available on all streaming platforms.
Doechii Reveals Her Biggest Dating Red Flag: Straight Men
In other news, on Friday (March 7), Doechii sat down with First We Feast for a sizzling game of “Hot Ones Versus.” Created as a spicer twist on the classic game of truth or dare, Doechii, alongside her DJ and friend, Miss Milan, go head-to-head, revealing their dating red flags, childhood memories, and more. However, after Doechii shared one of her biggest flags — which is dating straight men — many of her followers were left scratching their heads, especially her male fanbase once a clip of the interview circulated online.
“I mean [it’s] like strike one,” Doechii laughs. “You’re a man, and you’re heterosexual?” Her ideology likely stems from a past relationship she shared when she found out her partner had been having a sexual relationship with another man, which she references in her hit, “Denial Is A River.” However, that didn’t stop the onslaught of criticism she received for her statement.
“I keep telling y’all her music is corny,” one person posted to X. Whereas one user suggested, “There are people who shouldn’t be famous [skull emoji].” Another person pleaded for more “positive, normal, and non-sexual” female rappers. He added, ” The Jews keep growing these weird btches on tress & pushing their trash messaging onto the youth. When are ppl gonna say enoughs enough?”
