Watch Doechii Join Lauryn Hill For ‘Doo Wop (That Thing)’ & More In Miami

Lauryn Hill hosted a special Diaspora Calling! headlining set at the 18th Annual Jazz In The Gardens festival at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday night. Rapper Doechii, who today was named Billboard 2025 Woman Of The Year, was among the guests joining Hill at JITG, highlighting her appearance with a joint performance of “Doo Wop (That Thing).”

Hill’s Fugees bandmate Wyclef Jean was also part of the Diaspora Calling! lineup of performers. The set also featured YG Marley, Busta Rhymes, Samara Cyn, Foggieraw, Mannywellz and Zion Marley sharing the stage with Hill.

Doechii took to social media to share her thoughts on the experience, writing:

The first full length album I ever listened to was The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill. My mom would play it from top to bottom every day on my way to school for years 🤎

I would sing your songs as if I wrote them, imagining myself on stage. Each song deepened my love for music and my curiosity to write raps. My favorite lyric in Doo Wop is “don’t be a hard rock when you really are a gem” that stuck with me anytime I wanted to “get even” or harden my heart towards those who wronged me.

I carried your principles with me during my coming of age. And I carry them with me now at this current stage of my career, your lyrics are close to my heart.

Thank you Miss Lauryn Hill. This is the greatest honor hip hop could give me. Praise God 🤎

Doechii also performed her songs “Boiled Peanuts,” “Denial Is A River,” “Catfish” and “Nissan Altima” during her appearance with Hill at JITG. Watch video of Hill’s full set (Doechii arrives around the 1:33:00 mark) and other clips from the event below:
