Westside Gunn and Doechii are giving each other their flowers on social media in the wake of Top Dawg Entertainment’s rising star catching wind of the Griselda mastermind’s nod to her via his latest LP.
On Monday (April 21), both of the rappers shared posts praising one another just as Westside Gunn’s HEELS HAVE EYES track “Egypt” began going viral for its Doechii sample. The song features a clip from one of Doechii’s interviews in which she shouts out a list of her influences, which includes artists such as the late MF DOOM along with the Gunn himself.
“To me, I’ve been into a lot of MF DOOM, OK, rest in peace,” Doechii said during the clip. “Yeah, I’ve been into a lot of MF DOOM, Westside Gunn. Love him. He’s so talented. Super. So incredible.”
Doechii gushed about being featured on “Egypt” in a remark she tweeted that revealed Gunn’s nod had seemingly left her feeling braggadocios.
“Westside Gunn just sampled me so pretty much kiss the blackest part of my ass and choke on a side ways d*ck!” Doechii exclaimed in the tweet she wrote before concluding, writing, “He snapped omg!”
