Watch Doechii join Lauryn Hill in Miami for ‘Doo Wop (That Thing)’

9 March, 2025

Doechii joined Ms. Lauryn Hill on stage in Miami this weekend for a duet of ‘Doo Wop (That Thing)’ – check it out below.

The surprise collaboration took place during the Fugees star’s set at the Jazz In The Gardens Festival at the Hard Rock Stadium in the city on Saturday (March 8). The show was only Hill’s second live appearance of 2025, after playing at SNL’s Homecoming Concert in New York on February 14.

“I want to introduce y’all to another sistah,” Hill said to introduce her guest. Watch footage of the performance here:

Doechii took to her X account afterwards to show her appreciation for the moment. “Thank you Miss Lauryn Hill,” she wrote. “Thank you. My heart is so full. She is my hero. This is the greatest honor hip hop could give me. Praise God … my entire body is vibrating with joy right now. I’ll never forget this day! EVER!”

“I never been so nervous in my life,” she added. “She is a QUEEN.”

Doechii was announced this week as being one of the performers for Glastonbury 2025, headlining the West Holts Stage on Saturday night in a much-publicised clash with Charli XCX, who will top the Other Stage at the same time.

She will be playing a number of other festivals this summer too, including Rock En Seine in Paris in August, Forwards Festival in Bristol in the same month and Roskilde in Denmark in June.

She also won the Best Rap Album prize at the Grammys earlier this year, becoming only the third female winner, after Hill herself and Cardi B. To celebrate the win, she released ‘Nosebleeds’, in which she raps about showing up her naysayers.

Doechii’s ‘Nissan Altima’ was listed as one of NME‘s 50 Best Songs of 2024. In a four-star review of ‘Aligator Bites Never Heal‘, NME shared: “Doechii gets into the nitty gritty on this release, but – by the end – she finds solace and strength, making the mixtape feel more like a sonic diary of her emotional journey.”

Hill, meanwhile, recently shared her tribute to Roberta Flack, who the Fugees so memorably covered in 1996 with ‘Killing Me Softly’. “I grew up scouring the records my Parents collected,” she said. “Mrs. Flack was one of their favorites and quite instantly became one of mine as soon as I was exposed to her. She looked cool and intelligent, gentle and yet militant.”

“I will forever be grateful for the sensitivity and delicate power of her Love and Artistry. Rest in Grace Beloved One.”
