This was not the first time that Doja Cat spoke highly of Doechii. Back in 2023, Doechii joined Doja's The Scarlet Tour as an opening act. At the time, a video went viral on social media, showing the two artists interacting backstage.
The Streets singer expressed her admiration for Doechii, saying that she was "supposed to happen." Addressing the Persuasive artist, Doja said:

In the interview, she spoke about Doja and shared their bond. She added that both artists had a similar way of getting into the music industry.
The interview with PEOPLE, which took place before Doja's second concert tour, reflected on her journey in the music industry. She explained that she started out in a small town and was deeply involved in the underground music scene.
"I mean, how I came up in the music industry, I came up in a really small town and I was really in the underground scene, so community has always been really important to me, so to know that that’s important to Doja too is really cool," Doechii explained.
As the conversation continued, Doechii revealed that she was really excited about joining Doja Cat on the then-upcoming tour.
Despite their mutual respect and appreciation, Doja and Doechii have yet to collaborate on an album.
