Doechii’s ascent to the top of the rap game has followed a familiar trajectory: massive critical acclaim met with a predictable wave of internet skepticism. However, the discourse has recently shifted from musical critique to personal vitriol, primarily fueled by kick-streamer Adin Ross.

The tension has reached a boiling point, pulling in heavyweights like Glasses Malone, Wack 100, and Joe Budden, turning a “content creator” beef into a serious conversation about respect and industry boundaries.
The Catalyst: Content vs. Character
While many critics have questioned Doechii’s “authenticity” or labeled her an industry plant, she seemingly addressed on her SZA featured track “girl, get up.” Adin Ross took the rhetoric further. By questioning the TDE signee’s intelligence and credentials in a manner many deemed derogatory, he caught the attention of the West Coast’s veteran guard.
The Conflict: Glasses Malone Steps In
L.A. native Glasses Malone wasn’t having it. The “Certified” rapper publicly called out Ross for his persistent attacks on Doechii, warning the streamer that his disrespect would have real world consequences.
In a panic, Ross reached out to Wack 100 during a live stream to mediate. “They’re threatening me,” Ross told Wack, hoping the veteran music executive could neutralize the situation. While Wack initially dismissed Malone’s associates as “irrelevant,” Glasses Malone remained unmoved.
“Stop disrespecting that fing lady,” Malone stated in a viral clip. “You can make all the content. I’m going to get next to you… Do your job, make your content, stop calling this lady out her name. Yes, call her music wack. That’s your job. Stop calling this Black lady a bh.”
The Support: Joe Budden Weighs In
The “Podfather” himself, Joe Budden, wasted no time picking a side. During a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, he expressed a rare moment of solidarity with the West Coast veteran, albeit, while refusing to even give Ross the “clout” of saying his name.
- Budden’s Stance: He praised Malone for standing up against the “disgusting” rhetoric coming from the streaming world.
- The “Sub” Theory: Budden hinted that Doechii’s recent bars were aimed directly at “little f*ity-fk” (Ross), suggesting the industry is tired of streamers hiding behind screens while attacking female artists.

Is Doechii Sending Shots?
The timing of Doechii’s “girl, get up” collab with SZA feels intentional. While the song is a general anthem against haters and “industry plant” allegations, the culture has largely interpreted it as a response to Ross and his cohort of online detractors.
As Doechii continues her run as one of TDE’s brightest stars, the message from the OGs is clear: Criticize the music, but respect the woman.
