Doechii showed off her electrifying live performance skills Sunday (June 25) at the 2023 BET Awards, and was joined by some very special guests. The Florida-raised artist delivered a stellar rendition of her latest hit “What It Is (Block Boy),” equipped with a steamy pool party in full swing on the stage.
The 24-year-old rocked a metallic pink swimsuit and a gold chain belt. Surrounded by dancers, flying beach balls, and a massive pool, the star sang her catchy opening lyrics with confidence: “What it is h*e? What’s up?/ Every good girl needs a little thug/ Every block boy needs a little love/ If he put it down, Imma pick it up, up, up.”
Midway through the performance, Trillville joined her on stage, a special moment considering the record samples their classic 2004 hit “Some Cut” featuring Lil Scrappy. Together, the group chanted the well-loved opening hook: “What it is h*e, ah what’s up?/ Can a n***a get in them guts (them guts).”
Before the show, DJ Miss Milan, Doechii’s accompanying DJ, expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to hit the stage tonight. “Performing for the BET Awards w/ Doechii today. Went from watching to being on stage, God is too good! Make sure y’all tune in tonight,” she captioned a video of her during rehearsals.
