Doechii speaks out on LA protests at Black awards
Grammy winner Doechii has called out the Trump Administration's immigration raids and protest crackdowns in Los Angeles, at an awards night for Black entertainers. After being named best female hip-hop artist at the BET Awards, Doechii acknowledged her fellow nominees, then shifted the spotlight to the issues unfolding outside the venue. "There are ruthless attacks that are creating fear and chaos in our communities in the name of law and order," said Doechii, who won a Grammy for best rap album, only the third woman to win in that category. "Trump is using military forces to stop a protest," she said. "I want you all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us. What type of government is that?" Doechii's words drew applause from the audience at LA's Peacock Theatre, where the awards were held. "People are being swept up and torn from their families," she continued. "I feel like it's my responsibility as an artist to use this moment to speak up for all oppressed people. … We all deserve to live in hope and not fear. I hope we stand together." Kendrick Lamar is leading the pack at the BET (Black Entertainment Television) Awards with 10 nominations, including album of the year for his critically acclaimed project "GNX." His ubiquitous diss track "Not Like Us," emanating from his feud with Canadian rapper Drake, received nominations for video of the year and viewer's choice award. Doechii, Drake, Future and GloRilla tied for the second-most nominations with six. Metro Boomin pulled in five nods, while SZA and The Weeknd each scored four. For best actor, the category includes: Aaron Pierre, Aldis Hodge, Anthony Mackie, Colman Domingo, Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx, Joey Bada$$, Kevin Hart, Sterling K Brown and Will Smith.
