Nicki Minaj Praised by Doechii Before the Unfollow + Megan Thee Stallion’s Plans to Use Doechii?

Nicki Minaj continues to influence and inspire the next generation of female rappers, and Doechii is no exception. A resurfaced clip from December shows Doechii giving high praise to Nicki Minaj’s “Falling For You”, emphasizing how the Queen of Rap’s flows and wordplay are nothing short of iconic. However, shortly after this public admiration, fans noticed that Doechii unfollowed Nicki on social media.

This move has raised questions about where Doechii stands in the ongoing tensions between Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion. With Megan now publicly expressing interest in working with Doechii, some fans believe she may be strategically aligning herself with the “Hiss” rapper, especially after Nicki’s recent diss tracks. Let’s break it all down.

Doechii Praises Nicki Minaj’s Wordplay & Flow

In the now-viral clip, Doechii passionately praises Nicki Minaj’s pen game, highlighting a specific bar from “Falling For You”:

“You a chop ho. You gettin’ mopped, ho.”

She gushes over how simple yet effective the line is, saying she “felt it in her soul” and questioning whether she herself was “the chop.” Doechii also dives deep into Nicki’s “Cowgirl”, appreciating how Nicki flipped one of her iconic “Roman Reloaded” flows.

Beyond the bars, Doechii acknowledges Nicki’s impact on the industry, stating that her flows are so legendary that they get sampled and recycled for years. She even points out that Nicki’s famous “Texaco” line still influences music today.

For many fans, this moment was refreshing—seeing an upcoming rapper give Nicki her flowers without hesitation. However, things took a turn shortly after.

Doechii Unfollows Nicki Minaj—Why?

Not long after this clip surfaced, fans noticed that Doechii had quietly unfollowed Nicki Minaj on Instagram. The timing of this move has sparked speculation.

Some believe the unfollow was directly related to Nicki’s feud with Megan Thee Stallion, particularly Nicki’s diss track “Big Foot”, where she took direct shots at Megan and referenced personal tragedies.

Sources behind the scenes have claimed that some fans of both artists struggled with Nicki’s approach to the beef. One fan even admitted:

“I was so close to unfanning because I just didn’t like what Nicki said to Megan.”

It’s possible that Doechii, despite respecting Nicki’s artistry, also felt uncomfortable with the beef. However, others believe her decision was influenced by Megan herself.

Megan Thee Stallion Wants a Collaboration with Doechii—Strategic Move?

Following Doechii’s unfollow, Megan Thee Stallion took to TikTok, asking fans which artists they’d like to see her collaborate with. Unsurprisingly, Doechii’s name was one of the most requested. Megan responded:

“I see Doechii. I love Doechii. I do want to do a song with Doechii, that’s on my list. That’s on my album wishlist.”

While some fans see this as a genuine interest in working together, others think Megan is strategically trying to align herself with rising stars—especially those who have recently distanced themselves from Nicki Minaj.

Why now?

Doechii has been making waves with her mixtape, and her song “Nissan Ultima” is gaining traction. Megan might see this as a chance to tap into Doechii’s unique artistry and benefit from her momentum. However, fans are warning Doechii to be cautious.

Under The Neighborhood Talk’s post about Megan’s comments, some users called her a “social climber”, claiming she did the same thing to Nicki Minaj before turning against her. One fan wrote:

“We’ve seen this before. Be careful, Doechii. Let her have her own shine.”

Is Megan Trying to ‘Use’ Doechii?

Megan has faced criticism in the past for using alliances to boost her career. Many fans remember how she initially linked with Nicki for “Hot Girl Summer”, only to switch up and collaborate with Cardi B.

Now, with Nicki and Megan at odds, some believe that Megan is using Doechii as a way to gain credibility with a new audience.

Doechii has built a reputation as an artsy, versatile rapper, and Megan seems to recognize that. She admitted in her TikTok video that she’s trying to push herself to rap over different beats—which aligns with Doechii’s experimental style.

However, some fans think Megan’s interest isn’t just about artistry—it’s about rebuilding her own buzz after struggling with engagement on certain tracks.

Will Doechii Work with Megan?

Despite the backlash, Doechii might actually benefit from working with Megan. From a business perspective, linking with an established name like Megan could expand her reach and introduce her to a broader audience.

At the same time, fans are urging her to stay true to herself and not let industry politics dictate her decisions.

One thing is clear—Nicki Minaj’s influence remains undeniable, and even those who distance themselves from her can’t help but acknowledge her greatness. Whether Doechii’s unfollow was personal or strategic, her love for Nicki’s artistry is something she made very clear.

Now, the question is—will Doechii officially join Megan’s circle, or will she keep her own lane?
