Doechii puts open: her artist name saved her from a difficult time at the time.
The name Doechii has been known far beyond the borders of the rap scene since the publication of the album Alligator Bites Never Heal and at the latest since its Grammy win for the best rap album. Now Doechii has also unpacked private things: she was definitely not as confident as it occurs today, on the contrary.
Backbing drove them into suicidal thoughts at the time
In a conversation with “The Cut”, Doechii tells who she was before she became Doechii. In doing so, she puts open: When the “Denial is a River” interpreter was younger, she was plagued by suicidal thoughts.
“I don’t want to be superdark,” said Doechii, who is called Jiylah Ji’mya Hickmon with a bourgeois name. “I was bullied so much that I thought about killing myself.”
The Grammy winner remembers: “I realized that I would kill myself, and then I will be the only one who is dead.” She dates back to the sixth class. “The tyrants will not be with me, and everything you said won’t come with me either. Then I would just be gone. “
“This is my damned film”
What the rapper saved from this difficult time was nothing less than the finding of her artist name. She described the discovery of her age ego as a message from God. “This touch of peace came over me. ‘I am Doechii’, ”says the Southern native. “But it was more of a feeling of – I made a choice, a decision. I am the most important figure in this film. This is my damned film. “
