Doechii praises Lauryn Hill after Hill brings her on stage

It seems that Doechii's star keeps rising to a new height every week.

Her latest accomplishment is getting to share the stage with none other than Lauryn Hill. The Fugees member performed at One Musicfest in Miami on Saturday, March 8, and brought Doechii to the stage while performing her classic cut “Doo Wop (That Thing)”

"I want to introduce y’all to another sister,” said Hill, before Doechii walked out and started rapping.

Some might say that Hill's decision to bring her to the stage was fitting. For one, Doechii is from Florida where the festival took place and two, the 26-year-old and Hill have similar brands.

Of course, they're from two different rap generations but like Hill, Doechii seems more concerned with being recognized for her skills than becoming a sex symbol. Doechii and Hill are also two out of three women who won the Grammys' Best Rap Album category. The third is Cardi B.

Then yesterday, on March 9, Doechii praised Hill on Instagram, while posting photos and a clip from their performance.

"The first full length album I ever listened to was The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill," she wrote. "My mom would play it from top to bottom everyday on my way to school for years. I would sing your songs as if I wrote them, imagining myself on stage. Each song deepened my love for music and my curiosity to write raps."

"My favorite lyric in Doo Wop is 'don’t be a hard rock when you really are a gem' that stuck with me anytime I wanted to 'get even' or harden my heart towards those who wronged me," added Doechii. "I carried your principles with me during my coming of age. And I carry them with me now at this current stage of my career, your lyrics are close to my heart. Thank you Miss Lauryn Hill. This is the greatest honor hip hop could give me. Praise God 🤎."
