Rapper Doechii took home the Grammy for Best Rap Album for her mixtape Alligator Bites Don't Heal. The "Denial Is a River" hitmaker received roaring applause when she took the stage to accept her first-ever Grammy, with most of the crowd on their feet to join in the celebration.
"I put my heart and soul into this mixtape," Doechii said during her acceptance speech. "I went through so much. I dedicated myself to sobriety and God told me that I would be rewarded and he would show me how good it would get. I have to thank God. I need to thank my beautiful mother for coaching me."
The rapper, who hails from Tampa, had a special message for young Black girls.
"You can do it. Anything is possible," she said. "Don't allow anybody to project any stereotypes on you that tell you that you can't be here. That you're too dark. That you're not smart enough. That you're too dramatic or too loud. You are exactly who you need to be, to be right where you are. I am a testimony."
