Doechii Talks New Music, Her Dream Collab with Solange, and Samsung's New Galaxy S25 Edge
Doechii has grown up with an alligator named Coconut, or Coco to friends. The two have been through a lot together: music videos, mixtape covers, and now, a new campaign with Samsung for their Galaxy S25 Edge. 'I love Coco,' Doechii tells ELLE. 'We've developed a relationship. She's used to me.' Together in the campaign video, music's hottest star and Coco take a rare day off, showcasing how the slim Galaxy S25 Edge can be used day-to-day. The phone is available for pre-order now, fully dropping on May 30. To celebrate the collaboration, the Grammy winner will also perform at a VIP event at Edge NYC in Hudson Yards on drop day, which will also stream on Samsung's YouTube channel. 'The setting is going to be beautiful,' Doechii says. 'I'm experimenting a little bit and trying something different. I just want to show up in a different way that's still familiar.' Doechii has had quite a year, and this campaign is just another notch under her belt. With a win at the Grammy Awards for Best Rap Album and a nomination for Best New Artist, all eyes on her. She gave a highly acclaimed performance at the Grammy Awards, decked out in Thom Browe, and then walked the steps of the Met Gala in Louis Vuitton. The star clearly has a stylish eye, and Samsung's newest phone is the latest addition to her bag of tricks. Prior to the event, the star sat down with ELLE to discuss the collaboration, her upcoming music, the success of 'Anxiety,' and what her For You page looks like. I think for the campaign, having Coconut on set was definitely bringing the edge. I think that I'm probably the only artist that would be doing that, having a live alligator on set. I love Coco. How I bring the edge to my career is finding gaps and spaces to disrupt. I enjoy being a disruptor in music and in art, pushing the limits, and trying things that have never been tried before. Absolutely. Me and Coco have been working together since my first music video called 'Crazy.' She was on set, and she's grown a lot. We've kind of grown together. The first time I worked with Coco, she was younger and a bit snappier. It took a little bit more precaution, but I was really adamant about petting her so that she could get used to my scent, touch, energy, and my vibe. I asked a lot of questions from the handlers so that I could understand her behavior. Now, she's calmed down a lot. Alligators are not really as aggressive as a crocodile would be, but they're a little bit more calm when they're cooled off, like actually iced out versus when they're hot, they're a little bit more agitated. They're very similar to us. I think so, yeah. It's crazy because I'm not scared of alligators, but I'm terrified of bugs. Like, yeah, I'm a daredevil, but am I really though? One hundred percent. I get riled up by people saying you can't do something or people placing limitations. I have always just wanted to push things a little bit further. I displayed that a lot when I was younger, pushing buttons and trying things. If somebody says, I don't know, 'Birds aren't supposed to be fucking diamond studded,' I'll be like, 'Yes, they can.' I'll make a bird with diamond studs. I don't know why I'm like that. I want to see everything be possible. I want to see my dreams and my realities come to life, and I think that's always been my motto throughout my art. Anything is possible, and you can create anything. I had a light day yesterday. It's been a while since I had one, but a typical light day for me is actually doing nothing. And when I say nothing, I mean bed rot. Just eating ice cream and cheesecake, a glass of white wine, and watching really bad reality shows. That's my light day. I like to do the old ones. The really raunchy, just horrible. Flavor of Love, really bad. I would say this is kind of a curve ball, but Solange. She's so experimental and limitless creatively. I just think we could do something very cool together. It doesn't even mean that she has to actually be vocally on the track. She also produces, so we could collab in that way too. She's really cool. I didn't get a chance to actually speak with them directly. They're super off-grid, living their best lives in the mountains. That's the goal. They did give us permission and rights to use the record. They support it, and they were cool with it, which is great. Not at all. I always find it fascinating, how digital footprints can just come up out of nowhere. That's a record that I made so long ago, and I made that freestyle and completely forgot about it. I wasn't even thinking about that song. For it to kind of come back up the way that it did and become this massive hit, I did not expect it. I'm extremely grateful. It's very cool to show how, even the early stages of my talent, I was onto something, and I didn't know. Oh my god, that's crazy, because that freestyle has actually come up in conversation recently. I can't give away too much, but yeah, I'll probably do another freestyle in the future. Every now and then I do. I definitely deal with anxiety. I think we all do, and it manifests itself in different ways. Recently, I've been into therapy and taking more care of myself than I ever have before because I'm working a lot. Now, I kind of have my own routine that manages my anxiety. There are things that I do in the morning, like breath work, to manage myself before I even start my day. One of the things that has been transformative for me is loving myself before I go out and start giving to other people. I literally do not pick up my phone until I have done my full routine for myself, because if I start catering and emptying my cup before I fill it, it's not going to be a good day. It took me a while, but once you get into it feels good. Not every day is perfect. On my light day, I'm picking up that phone. They can always expect a lot of intention, but it's going to be wrapped in a different way that I think we haven't experienced. I just got a new order of books. I am currently—and by currently, I mean I haven't even started the first chapter—reading The Myth of Sisyphus. I don't really know what it's about yet, but this girl on TikTok recommended it. I don't want to promote this book, because I don't know what it's about yet, but that's what I'm reading. BookTok and InteriorTok. I'm super into interior design, home décor, and books. I am. I just got this mid-century modern home. So, I just feel fab, and now I want to make it even more fabulous. This is going to sound so mushy but it's true. Sobriety and self-care. That's the vibe. I'm about to be 27, and I kind of think I'm exiting that era of myself. That perspective that I was speaking of from 'Denial Is a River?' I did the thing. You live the life, you do the parties, you do the thing, and then you just find yourself one day on BookTok and loving interiors. Come on. 'Edge of Glory.' This interview has been edited and condense for clarity.

Wild One: Hassall - Overpopulator
Anxiety, Insomnia, Heart Palpitations? You've either drunk too much brown bean juice ☕☕☕, or perhaps you're just falling in love... just like rage is, with Naarm artist Hassall (known as Matilda to her friends!), who's brewed up this week's Wild One 'Overpopulator', an over-caffeinated concoction of love, self, and self-love. Filmed across a number of locations in the small town of Colac, Victoria, the music video for 'Overpopulator' fuses gorgeous colouring (hello, red) with some savvy filming techniques from director Willem Kingma (also known as the frontman for previous Wild One feature receiving band Winksy). 'One idea I had seemed to fit well with the caffeinated themes of the song' says Willem. 'We shot many of the scenes with Matilda and the band miming to the song at half speed. This meant that when the shots were sped up by x2 in the edit, they would be playing in time to the song but with a twitchy tremor to all the movement in the scene. A fun little in camera trick!' 'I love everything Willem touches'' says Matilda. 'We know each other from way back when we were pre-teens doing junior musical theatre together, haha! When I reached out to him to take the reins on this video, all I told him was that I didn't want any dense through-lines or something that took itself too seriously (because it seems I do that in everything else I make). The first lyric of the song is about drinking too much coffee and rendering yourself useless for the rest of the day - so he ran with that as a concept.''I remember the full band squeezing ourselves and our instruments into the small space behind the coffee machine at the cafe, and finding it pretty hard to play the song at the slow speed. Our drummer Will had to half-play and half-mime so he could hear the music over the kit and keep tempo for the rest of us. The jerky, twitchy end result is absolutely perfect in matching the whack energy of the song.' 'The overall idea for the clip was really Matilda's brain child' adds Willem. 'My partner Kelli and I just helped bring it to life!'

This Common Food Was Just Linked to Heart Disease, Parkinson's
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Two new studies on ultra-processed foods link them to a higher risk of developing heart disease and Parkinson's disease. Ultra-processed foods make up around 70 percent of America's food supply, so they're hard to eliminate entirely. Eating too much could impact your heart and brain health by increasing inflammation, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance. If you haven't stayed up-to-date on health news lately, here's a quick headline for you: Ultra-processed foods aren't so great for your health. In fact, studies have linked them to a slew of health issues, including diabetes and cancer risk, and having a lot of ultra-processed foods in your diet can even potentially make you age faster. But up to 70 percent of the food supply in America is made up of these products, making them tough to entirely avoid. Still, it's never a bad idea to take a step back to assess what you're eating on a daily basis, especially when we're still learning about how ultra-processed foods could affect us. Case in point: Two recent studies have found an association between eating ultra-processed foods and a higher risk of developing heart disease and Parkinson's disease. Given how life-altering each of these conditions can be, it's understandable to have concerns. Here's what dietitians and doctors want you to keep in mind. Meet the experts: Keri Gans, RDN, CDN, nutrition consultant and host of The Keri Report; Jessica Cording, RD, author of The Little Book of Game-Changers: 50 Healthy Habits For Managing Stress & Anxiety; Sonya Angelone, RD, a nutritionist and registered dietitian based in San Francisco, California; Cheng-Han Chen, MD, an interventional cardiologist and medical director of the Structural Heart Program at MemorialCare Saddleback Medical Center in Laguna Hills, CA; Daniel Truong, MD, neurologist and medical director of the Truong Neuroscience Institute at MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, CA. The heart disease study isn't published yet, but it was presented at the American College of Cardiology's annual meeting in May. The scientific review analyzed data from 8,286,940 adults across 41 studies that looked at the link between ultra-processed foods and health issues. The researchers found a link between ultra-processed foods and high blood pressure, cardiovascular events (like a heart attack), cancer, digestive diseases, and dying from any cause. Each extra 100 grams (3.5 ounces) a day of ultra-processed foods was linked with a 14.5 percent higher risk of high blood pressure, 5.9 percent increased risk of cardiovascular events, 1.2 percent increased risk of cancer, 19.5 percent higher risk of digestive diseases and 2.6 percent higher risk of dying from any cause, according to the findings. There was also a link between eating ultra-processed foods and an increased risk of obesity, diabetes, and depression or anxiety. 'Reducing ultra-processed foods intake, even modestly, may offer measurable health benefits,' study co-author Xiao Liu, MD, a cardiologist at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, China, said in a statement. This study was published in the journal Neurology and analyzed data from nearly 43,000 people with an average age of 48 who didn't have Parkinson's disease at the start of the study. The participants were followed for 26 years, during which time they completed regular medical exams, filled out food diaries, and answered health questionnaires. The researchers divided the participants into five groups based on how much ultra-processed foods they ate per day. They discovered that people who ate 11 or more servings of ultra-processed foods a day had a 2.5 times higher risk of having three or more early signs of Parkinson's disease than those who had less than three servings a day. (Those early signs included things like rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder, constipation, depressive symptoms, body pain, impaired color vision, excessive daytime sleepiness, and a reduced ability to smell.) It's important to point out that what the researchers counted as a "serving" can really add up. Like, one tablespoon of ketchup is a serving, and so is an ounce of potato chips. While the study didn't find that ultra-processed foods caused people to develop Parkinson's disease, the researchers pointed out that these early symptoms tend to come before a Parkinson's disease diagnosis. There are a few potential biological things going on here that could be resulting in this data that links ultra-processed foods with heart and brain health issues. 'It is thought that ultra-processed foods affect cardiovascular health through multiple mechanisms, including promotion of inflammation, increasing oxidative stress, and increasing insulin resistance,' explains Cheng-Han Chen, MD, an interventional cardiologist and medical director of the Structural Heart Program at MemorialCare Saddleback Medical Center in Laguna Hills, CA. This can cause damage to blood vessels, create a build-up of plaque in your arteries—and raise the risk of heart attack or stroke, he explains. But despite the health risks, ultra-processed foods can be hard to resist, says Daniel Truong, MD, neurologist and medical director of the Truong Neuroscience Institute at MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, CA. They 'rapidly stimulate the brain's reward system, similar to addictive substances like nicotine and alcohol,' per Dr. Truong. As a result, you may end up eating a lot of these foods, raising the risk of health issues in the process. A big potential issue with ultra-processed foods is that they tend to crowd out healthier options, says Jessica Cording, MS, RD, author of The Little Book of Game-Changers: 50 Healthy Habits For Managing Stress & Anxiety. 'If [a person is] eating a lot of ultra-processed foods that don't offer much in the way of nutrients but contain a lot of calories, it can set them up for adverse health issues,' she says. Plus, these foods have been associated with higher risk of cancer, digestive problems, depression, anxiety, and diabetes, says Sonya Angelone, RD, a nutritionist based in San Francisco, CA. 'There is a dose-response relationship between these foods and poor health, which means the more ultra-processed foods you eat, the greater the risk for negative health,' she adds. But there's some good news: 'Reducing these foods even a little bit with less processed whole foods can provide some health improvements," says Dr. Angelone. That's why it's so crucial to focus on whole foods when building out your diet, says Keri Gans, RDN, CDN, nutrition consultant and host of The Keri Report. 'Instead of obsessing over what to cut out of our diets, we should think more about adding more plant-based foods, such as 100 percent whole grains, veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds, and legumes,' she says. Cording says there's no need to panic if you have some ultra-processed foods in your diet, given that they're almost impossible to completely avoid. But focusing on sourcing the bulk of your diet from whole foods could make a big difference in your overall health. 'Just do your best,' she says.

Doechii Reaches A New Career Peak On The Most Important Billboard Chart
Doechii scores her highest-charting hit ever as 'Anxiety' climbs to No. 9 on the Hot 100, fueled by ... More strong radio airplay across a variety of formats. PARIS, FRANCE - MARCH 05: Doechii attends the Tom Ford Womenswear Fall/Winter 2025-2026 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on March 05, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo byfor TOM FORD) Throughout her career, Doechii has only sent seven songs to the Hot 100. Nearly all of those have landed on the tally within the past year, and the last few months have been especially massive for the rapper on the busy Billboard tally. Following her standout performance at the 2025 Grammy Awards — which is being hailed as one of the greatest of all time — and her emotional speech while accepting Best Rap Album, Doechii's star has not just risen, but skyrocketed. She's now performing better than ever on the weekly charts with both her debut full-length and the singles promoted from it, as well as older material that's recently gaining renewed attention. One such cut, 'Anxiety,' climbs once again on the Hot 100 this frame, bringing the hip-hop artist to a new career peak. 'Anxiety' ascends one position on the Hot 100 this week, rising from No. 10 to No. 9. While moving up a single spot might not seem monumental, every forward climb counts for Doechii at this point in her career. No. 9 now marks her highest showing on the list yet. Thanks to a blend of sales, streaming numbers, and radio airplay, the composition has become her biggest hit to date — and it could climb even higher in the coming weeks. 'Anxiety' slips a few places on the Streaming Songs chart, where it now sits at No. 34, so it seems that streaming activity is not largely to thank for the track's success on the Hot 100. The tune does still stand strong on the Digital Song Sales chart, though, as it's living at No. 5. It's on radio where the track is truly exploding. This frame, the tune surges on several airplay tallies, reaching new all-time peaks on both the Radio Songs and Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay lists. On the former, 'Anxiety' hits the runner-up spot, meaning it was the second-most-heard track across all genres in the U.S. via radio during the past tracking period. At the same time, it lands inside the top 10 on three different genre-specific airplay tallies, proving that DJs and programmers are enthusiastically embracing Doechii's music. That's especially surprising, considering the fact that 'Anxiety' originally dropped five years ago.
