Speaking about Doechii, who appears on the cover of British Vogue, Gaga told the magazine: 'You don't often see someone come out of the gate with a pen that feels immediately legendary. That's Doechii to me.
'I fell in love with her music and her raw, deeply personal perspective. The power in her words, her vulnerability, the way she rhymes with this wild mix of audacity and emotional precision – it struck me to the core.'
Doechii presented Gaga with the Innovator award at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards, describing the singer as a 'lifeline'.
She said: 'Lady Gaga wasn't just a pop star she was a lifeline. Gaga taught us that it was OK to be our real selves.'
Doechii released her first EP, Oh The Places You'll Go, in 2020, and one of her tracks, Yucky Blucky Fruitcake, went viral.

Her rise to fame, however, came a few years later with the release of Alligator Bites Never Heal in 2024, which includes the songs Denial Is A River, Catfish and Nissan Altima.
Months later the rapper secured her first Grammy award for Best Rap Album, with nominations for Best Rap Performance and Best New Albums at the 67th award ceremony.
She is also behind the viral hit Anxiety, after the YouTube video of Doechii singing the song, which samples the 2011 hit Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye and Kimbra, resurfaced.
The positive online response encouraged the rapper to release the full version, which marked the first time she reached number three in the UK singles chart.

Lady Gaga painfully slips mid-performance landing in front of crowd
Lady Gaga painfully slipped and fell during a performance in Las Vegas this weekend. The singer, 39, performed her hit song Vanish Into You at her Mayhem Ball show at the T-Mobile Arena on Saturday night. The crowd were loving the hit song, and the star was met with huge applause as she entered the corridors around the stage to greet fans. Unfortunately for Gaga, she was wearing a long sparkled black cape, a matching leotard and a pair of knee-high boots, which didn't have quite enough friction against the slick floor. As she rounded the corner of the stage, she slipped and slapped into the ground, landing painfully on her hip. The star smacked into the ground directly in front of the audience, with many of them capturing the moment on their phones. Gaga quickly scrambled to her feet with the help of her boduuguards, who were quick to get her back up on her feet. Not skipping a beat, the singer continued to belt out her record and greet fans at the barricade at the front of the stage. Although she was able to persevere, fans were still concerned about her following the nasty tumble. 'Omg her hip!? 😣' said quemasjessi. 'Gaga please your hip gurlll we still have a full tour ahead of us 😭😭😭' said daniellekatsav.

On Tuesday, July 22, the star paid tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne while performing in San Francisco. The singer wore a top with his face on it and played one of his hit songs, Crazy Train. The Grammy award-winning artist proudly showed her shirt to the camera before headbanging along with her dancers. The group then joined hands and took a bow to the audience together, closing out the show. When the singer announced the tour in March 2025, Gaga was sued by Lost International, a lifestyle and surf brand. More Trending The group allegedly filed a $100,000,000 trademark infringement lawsuit against the Abracadabra hitmaker, alleging that Gaga has 'attempted to misappropriate the 'Mayhem' name, trademark, and stylized mark by releasing an album called Mayhem, launching a tour with that same name, and selling clothing and accessories with that name.' The suit, seen by Rolling Stone, was filed on Tuesday, March 25, and claims the group attempted to give notice about the alleged infringement. Gaga's lawyer hit back, stating it was a 'disappointing' and 'opportunistic abuse of the legal system'. Got a story?

Pop superstar Gaga, 39, was performing Vanish Into You during Saturday night's Mayhem Ball show at the T-Mobile Arena when the mishap unfolded.

Gaga calmly adjusted the crew member's equipment and continued walking - only to trip herself moments later. She managed to catch her footing and carried on singing, but stumbled again just before the word 'fly' and fell sideways near the edge of the stage. The moment, caught on fan cameras, showed the singer landing close to the front row, where audience members were watching from just feet away. One shared the clip to TikTok, writing: "MY POOR MOTHER MONSTER FALLING DURING VANISH INTO YOU [crying emoji] AND THE CAMERAMAN JUST BEFORE." Despite the tumble, Gaga was helped up and immediately resumed the song without missing a beat. The incident took place during the first week of Gaga's global tour, which launched on 16 July and will continue through to January with a final run of shows in Japan. It follows a series of stage mishaps involving other major stars. Beyoncé was recently left suspended mid-air during a Texas show when a red car she was performing in got stuck. During her performance of 16 Carriages, the superstar hopped into a red car which was then lifted high into the air using cables. Katy Perry desperately clings on as prop malfunctions mid-air during gig leaving audience terrified She pulled on a silver cowboy hat and waved an American flag for her in-air adventures, yet was forced to halt the song as the vehicle leaned dangerously to one side. The crowd paused when she stopped singing and signaled for help, before erupting into cheers as the vehicle was lowered to solid ground. Like a pro, Beyonce continued the song then told her adoring fans: "I wanna thank y'all, for loving me. "If ever I fall, I know y'all will catch me." Katy Perry, meanwhile, nearly fell from a giant sphere on her Lifetimes tour in Australia and later appeared to slip on a butterfly-shaped prop during Roar. She had climbed into the huge metal structure when it began tilting dramatically at a strange angle. An army of quick-thinking backstage crew members raced onto the set in Australia to steady the massive prop so Katy - who was clinging on to the sides - could climb down safely. With the backing music stopped, the crowd could be heard applauding the star and shouting "go, Katy!" as she made her way out and onto the floor. 5 The incident took place during the first week of Gaga's Mayhem Ball tour Credit: Getty 5 Beyoncé was recently left suspended mid-air during a Texas show Credit: X/boyoncegarden

Lady Gaga latest pop star to suffer on-stage blunder as she takes a tumble in Las Vegas
Lady Gaga took a tumble during her performance in Las Vegas as part of The Mayhem Ball tour but she quickly styled it out and carried on singing to the delight of the crowd Lady Gaga has become the latest pop girly to suffer an on-stage mishap, with fans captioning the moment she styled out a stumble on camera. The Poker Face hitmaker, who is currently on a world tour with The Mayhem Ball, was performing in Las Vegas when the incident happened. The singer, 39, was belting out Vanish Into You from her latest album Mayhem when she looked like she was about to take a tumble and fell to the floor. In the footage taken by a fan in the crowd, one of Lady Gaga 's camera crew also appeared to stumble. However, the pop icon managed to quickly get back on her feet and continue her jaw-dropping performance. Many fans online noticed the fitting lyrics she was singing as she tripped, with one quipping: "'into the night we... fall' and she did." "They better make sure the floors are not slippery the next venue she goes to," another mused, with a third adding: "Katy almost falling from cloud nine with her butterfly, Beyoncé so fat she almost broke the strings and Lady Gaga falling while performing? What is going on." It seems that there is something in the air when it comes to pop stars and their tours at the moment. Earlier this month, Katy Perry's fans were left gobsmacked by her professionalism when a butterfly prop she was perched on plummeted mid-air during a recent gig. The Roar songstress was belting out 'Roar' at the Chase Centre when the prop took a sudden dive, causing the audience to gasp in worry for the star. The singer briefly halted the song to regain her balance before carrying on with the performance. She even made light of the hair-raising incident after the show, sharing a close-up snap of her startled expression as the prop descended. Katy captioned the post: "Goodnight San Fran." Fans were stunned by the incident and flocked to social media to commend her composed response. One admirer posted on X/ Twitter: "The professionalism here is beyond insane, like that could've easily cost your life, but Katy didn't panic and she kept the show going.... "The way she kept calm and kept singing- others would have freaked and said 'no no please stop' so glad Katy is safe but the safety team needs to step up," another fan wrote. One worried user remarked: "Yeah, it's time for these artists to get out the air..." Another queried: "Why do all of these stars need these floating stages for their shows. "Her astronaut training kicked in and was able to keep her calm and able to continue with the show. Mission accomplished," another quipped.
