Grammy-Winning Rapper Doechii Offers Fans a Brief Glimpse Into Her Dating Life

Rapper and songwriter Doechii, whose real name is Jaylah Ji'mya Hickmo, is becoming a powerhouse in the music world. She made her mark with several iconic tracks, including "What It Is (Block Boy)," which marked her first entry on the Billboard Hot 100.

As her career continues to take off, many fans are eager to know more about the artist behind the music. For starters, is Doechii seeing anyone these days?

Here's everything you need to know about Doechii's dating life!

Despite typically keeping her love life under wraps, Doechii has let it slip in the past that she has a girlfriend. Not much is known about the "Denial Is a River" rapper's partner, but in a December 2024 interview with The Breakfast Club, Doechii confirmed that she's in a "wonderful" relationship with a woman.

As the Grammy winner got a little giddy talking about her girlfriend, the hosts hit Doechii with an important question: "Does she trust you?" The rapper, seemingly unphased by the awkward moment, responded with ease and humor.

"Oh my god, damn! Yeah, I would hope so!" she laughed. "Yes, she does."

Doechii didn't say much more about her girlfriend, but later, the radio hosts brought up a provocative lyric from her song "Nissan Altima," where Doechii raps, "She munching on the box while she watching Hulu."

When asked to explain how that position works, Doechii replied, "You don't know what's going on. It's a lot of girls in there. It could be two, it could be three, it could be six."

Although host Charlamagne the God suggested the box eater should stay focused, Doechii pushed back, stating, "Women can multitask."

"You would be surprised what can go on in these lesbian relationships," she said. "You can do a lot. You can save world hunger and still eat the box at the same time."

In that same interview, Doechii got candid about her bisexuality, sharing that she's dated other bisexual people before.

"I'm bisexual. That's cool. I've dated bisexual men, no problem," she said. Charlemagne the God argued that it's "different" when it's a man, but Doechii fired back, "Let me know what it is upfront. I'll accept you for who you are. It doesn’t really matter."

When DJ Envy asked her to clarify, Doechii responded, "How can I be bisexual and then I'm gonna date somebody else who's bisexual? Why, because it's a man? Who cares?"

DJ Envy also pointed out that some people find bisexuality in men less acceptable, but the rapper was quick to shut that absurd idea down: "I think that sexuality is fluid and I really don't give a damn," Doechii stated.

In October 2024, Doechii spoke with Gay Times and opened up about her sexuality. The rapper told the outlet, "I think I've always been gay. I always knew I was gay. I'm currently bisexual. I am with a woman now, and I have always known that I loved women. I've been very, very aware from an early age."

As a Black woman from Florida, though, Doechii hasn’t always been able to embrace her sexuality fully: "There's a lot of racism and homophobia so it’s hard, it's very, very hard," she disclosed.

"Even though I was aware, I didn't feel as comfortable until I started surrounding myself with more gay friends," she added. "I also grew up in the church, which is not to say that every religion denounces being gay, but it wasn't accepted in the religion that I was in, in my environment."

Doechii revealed that she found comfort and acceptance when she attended a performing arts school with many gay people. There, she made lifelong friends who helped her feel safe and confident in being herself.

Though she never felt the need to hide her sexuality, Doechii admitted that she "definitely didn’t feel like I could have pride." She explained, "I wouldn't talk about it, but if somebody asked me I wasn't going to lie. So it wasn't a secret, but I definitely couldn't walk around as proud as I wanted to and that was upsetting."

Well, we couldn't be happier for Doechii and her girlfriend!
