Doechii Joins Lauryn Hill for Iconic ‘Doo Wop (That Thing)’ Duet

Doechii experienced a career-defining moment when Ms. Lauryn Hill invited her onstage for a surprise duet of the 1998 classic “Doo Wop (That Thing)” during Hill’s headlining set at the Jazz in the Gardens Festival in Miami on March 8. Having already performed earlier that day, Doechii returned when Hill introduced her as a “sister” to the crowd.

The Grammy-winning rapper held her own alongside the hip-hop icon, delivering a powerful performance that thrilled the audience. Following the event, Doechii expressed her gratitude on social media, calling it “the greatest honor hip-hop could give me.”

This moment adds to Doechii’s remarkable year, where she became the third woman to win Best Rap Album at the Grammys and was named Billboard’s 2025 Woman of the Year. She also recently released “Anxiety,” a long-awaited track featuring a sample of Gotye’s hit “Somebody That I Used to Know”, after it gained traction on TikTok.
