Doechii is once again at the center of an online conversation — this time about identity and self-expression. The Grammy-winning artist recently launched a new private Instagram account under the handle @gutsgritglamour, and fans quickly noticed a significant detail in the bio: Doechii describes herself as a “lesbian.”
The page, which remains private, reportedly serves as a more intimate creative outlet. According to Gay Times, Doechii described the account as a space dedicated to the “physical, spiritual and emotional manifestations of womanhood to ME.” She explained that the platform would allow her to express “Jaylah the human outside of Doechii the artist,” hinting at a desire to separate her personal growth from her public persona. Other tags in the bio include “home life,” “wellness,” “side quests,” and “film,” suggesting a softer, more reflective side of the performer.
Support from fans poured in across social media. Many celebrated the update as a meaningful moment for representation, particularly for queer women of color. Comments ranged from enthusiastic cheers to personal reflections from followers who related to Doechii’s journey.
The renewed discussion comes months after Doechii opened up about her sexuality in a 2024 interview. At the time, she described herself as bisexual while acknowledging a lifelong awareness of her attraction to women. She spoke candidly about growing up as a Black woman in the South, navigating both racism and homophobia, and finding comfort and acceptance later in life through community and friendship.
Doechii has often been praised for her vulnerability and authenticity, and this latest move appears to continue that pattern. Whether the label shift reflects personal growth or simply a clearer self-definition, fans are embracing her openness — and the safe space she’s carving out for herself along the way.
