With a signature rockstar flair and a glimpse of her daily routine, the rapper opened the most recent edition of the Hurry Up Tomorrow track. She set the tone, delivering the verse:

“This sh*t too easy/I’m in the club with a G-SHOCK/Fendi baguette and it’s peacock/I think I’m out your league, boss… Top Dawg cashin’ out Doechii stock.”

Additionally, the remix eliminates The Weeknd's original Timeless verse, making the What It Is rapper and Playboi Carti the main performers. The original version of the song was played by the Weeknd and Playboi Carti during a surprise performance at the 2025 Grammy Awards earlier this year.

As per the same source, Doechii performed Catfish and Denial is a River that same evening before returning to the stage to win the Best Rap Album prize for Alligator Bites Never Heal.
