Doechii Explains the Slide Malfunctions on Tour Are Not on Purpose

Doechii is trying to clear up any misunderstandings from fans who believe her slide malfunctioning during tour is deliberate.

“I wanna talk about what’s going on with the slide because some of you are speculating that I’m doing it on purpose, which I’m not,” she says in a video posted to her social media.

“This mechanical desk jerks when it moves, and in order for me to not fly off of it—which I did a couple times in rehearsal—we had to put grip tape on the desk. The grip tape is basically like sandpaper, so when I’m standing on it or sitting on it, I don’t move and fall over.

“What’s happening is, my performance stockings are ripping because I'm sitting on sandpaper, and I’m performing on sandpaper. So by the time I get to the part in the song for the slide, my bare ass cheeks are sticking to the slide because I’m sweating. They put the towel there, but as soon as I put the towel there, the wind from my big fat booty blows the towel away,” she explains before ending the clip.

50 Cent recently made fun of Doechii’s slide malfunctioning while she performed “Denial is a River.”

“LOL OH SHIT,” he wrote. “I would got up and said [ninjas] jump me man. Hit me in the back of the head, and bush me down the slide. LOL.”
