Doechii Commands Attention In Stunning ‘British Vogue' Cover Shoot
Source: Matt Jelonek / Getty After a whirlwind year that has been the biggest of her career, with Grammy wins and high-profile stages to prove it, Doechii has reached another milestone in the entertainment world — officially landing her very first Vogue cover, British Vogue to be exact. As the August 2025 cover girl, Doechii not only slayed and served face with the pictorial, but she also opened up about her career, taking fashion risks and her viral Trump speech at this year's BET Awards. After using her acceptance speech to call him out regarding his highly discriminatory practices, she told the outlet that she has zero regrets. 'I'm not that desensitised, and it felt right,' Doechii reflected. 'I felt like I needed to use that moment, and they were live, so it wasn't s—t they could do about it.' On her outlook on fashion, Doechii shared that her sartorial style starts with where she is personally and the inspirations trickle down from there. 'My look says more about where I am currently in my life than it says anything about who I am,' she revealed. 'I'm really attracted to a preppy style – it makes me feel confident, and it's hot, it's sharp, and I feel like me. This next stage in my life – I'm not sure what it's about yet.' Although fans are still bumping her Grammy-winning album Alligator Bites Never Heal , Doechii is already hard at work on her next sonic effort and gave a preview about what fans can expect from her next era. 'I've been sonically sketching, but once July hits, it's time to really make those ideas come to life,' she told British Vogue . 'I want this world to sound very raw. I make those ideas come to life once I give myself restriction.' Source: Jeff Kravitz / Getty 'When I look at pop culture right now, I'm just trying to figure out, 'OK, what does a Doechii superstar look like? What does it take to make that?' I have no clue. I'm still figuring it out,' she said. Doechii has superstar ambitions for the next phase of her career, and if she has things her way, she will be the one to ascend upon the throne.

Midnight Mania! UFC 315 ‘Embedded' Leaks JDM's Game Plan?
Photo by Matt Jelonek/Zuffa LLC/Zuffa LLC Welcome to Midnight Mania! Let's start the night off by taking look back over the three biggest stories of Monday, May 5, 2025. Benoit Saint Denis turned down short-notice Mateusz Gamrot match up: I get that Saint Denis really needs a bounce back win, but damn if this isn't a much better match up than the one we're getting ... Belal Muhammad rejects Ian Garry's back up role: Ian Garry still doesn't have a Top 10 win and probably shouldn't be as high up in the immediate title talks as he wants to be. Shavkat, Brady, and even Buckley have better arguments at the moment. BJJ star Gabi Pessanha upset after massive win streak: This headline served as a reminder to me that I know very little about who the best gi grapplers in the world are right now. Insomnia Based on my experience with whiteboards and MMA gyms, this is more of a warm up sequence or training routine than true 'fight plan.' While it doesn't take a genius to know that Jack Della Maddalena is going to try to win the jab battle, use uppercuts against a wrestler, and work his way off the cage, it's still not cool that the UFC publicly broadcasted it. I'm sure the JDM coaching staff would've preferred it kept quiet! Advertisement More than one fan speculated that this is some sort of Trojan Horse/trap scenario, which would be quite an exemplary bit of 4D chess. Well, it feels like UFC 315 is guaranteed to produce at least one finish ... A big booking for the 125-pound class: Metallica vs. UFC in the ultimate clash of stinginess. I failed to finish this clip, and it's only 13 seconds long. Safe to see, I won't be tuning into future Raul Rosas Jr. podcasts ... After taking a break from fighting to reignite his competitive spark, Brad Riddell eyes a summer return. How about Bobby Green? Azamat Bekoev scored a major KO over the weekend and is on his way to being a popular X follow to boot! Advertisement So much of the boxing over the last few days was absolutely unwatchable. Slips, rips, and KO clips Wrestler in a karate stance is actually a super dangerous combo! Stiff as a board ... Shifted back to Southpaw to throw a check right hook, a Volkanovski classic. Random Land I know I'm aging because this unnecessary goofiness just makes me sad. Midnight Music: Hip-hop, 2001 Sleep well Maniacs! More martial arts madness is always on the way. More from
