Doechii has been named Billboard’s 2025 Woman of the Year and will be honored at an event later this month, the publication announced Monday.

A rising force in rap, Doechii shot to fame with her viral hits “No Scrubs” and “Denial Is a River,” the latter peaking at No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In January, she won her first Grammy for Alligator Bites Never Heal, which took home Best Rap Album. The win made her only the third woman in Grammy history to claim the award. She was also nominated for Best New Artist and Best Rap Performance. That same night, she made her Grammys stage debut with an electrifying performance of “Denial Is a River” and “Catfish.”

The Tampa-born rapper has landed five songs on the Billboard Hot 100, including “Balloon” and “ExtraL,” collaborations with Tyler, the Creator and Jennie, respectively.

Doechii first earned recognition from Billboard in 2023 when she was named Music Rising Star. Now, she becomes only the third woman to later win Woman of the Year, following Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande.

Billboard editor-in-chief Hannah Karp praised Doechii’s “ultra-candid lyrics and utterly unique sound, style, and spirit.”

Previous recipients of the Woman of the Year honor include SZA, Billie Eilish, Madonna, and Taylor Swift.
