Doechii Appears To Come Out As Lesbian After Subtle Instagram Tweak

Grammy-winning rapper Doechii appears to have come out as lesbian after fans spotted a subtle change to her Instagram.

The Denial Is A River performer – who has spoken candidly about her queerness in the past – recently updated her personal Instagram bio to include the message: “Home life… wellness… books/essays… clubbing… lesbian… luxury… travel… beauty… music… side quests… fashion… more…”

In 2024, Doechii said that she identified as bisexual, telling Gay Times: “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.”

Two years earlier, she told GQ that she became more “comfortable” incorporating queer references in her music after “getting more gay friends”.

“I always knew that I was queer, and I was bisexual. But I didn’t really feel comfortable talking about it, because nobody around me was gay,” she said.

“So, it’s not like I was hiding it – but I also wasn’t fully embracing it. I just started indulging myself with more friends who were like me. And that’s when I could become more comfortable talking about it, because that’s my normal everyday conversation now with my gay friends.”

Doechii’s mainstream breakthrough moment came in the summer of 2024, when her mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal blew up.

The release wound up becoming only the third by a female artist to be honoured with Best Rap Album at the Grammys, the same year that Doechii herself was also nominated in the Best New Artist category.

Shortly after her Grammy win, an old Doechii demo called Anxiety began doing the rounds, resulting in her re-recording the track, which went on to become her biggest chart hit to date.

Earlier this month, Anxiety was awarded Best Music Video at the Grammys.
