VH1: No More Censorship – Doechii Brings Gaza to the Awards Stage
June 15, 2025
Artist Doechii just broke the silence at the #BETAwards2025, using her global platform to speak truth! She powerfully declared her responsibility to advocate for ALL oppressed people — from Black and Latino communities to trans people, AND the people of Gaza.
This is the courage we need from artists! Refusing to be complicit. LISTEN TO HER VOICE!

English Script:
Doechii: I do want to address what’s happening right now outside of the building. There are ruthless attacks that are creating fear and chaos in our communities in the name of law and order. Trump is using military forces to stop a protest. And I want y’all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us. What type of government is that? People are being swept up and torn from their families. And I feel it’s my responsibility as an artist to use this moment to speak up for all oppressed people, for black people, for Latino people, for trans people, for the people in Gaza. We all deserve to live in hope and not in fear. And I hope we stand together, my brothers and my sisters, against hate, and we protest against it. Thank you BET.
