Doechii is gearing up to drop her rumored Comedy Central show, Denial Is a River, on Jan. 2, and she continued the rollout on New Year’s Eve (Dec. 31) by releasing another comedy sketch.

The clip, which features Zack Fox and ScHoolboy Q, is fittingly titled “Can I Hit THat?” and opens with Q peeking through the door of a kitchen before lighting a joint on the stove. The scene then flashes to him in conversation at the table, with the “What It Is (Block Boy)” singer explaining, “Q, you know how I am. I’m an alpha female. It’s different for me. He does everything for me, he helps me set up the house. He doesn’t drink. He doesn’t smoke.”

“You’re kidding. Comedian! He’s so funny,” Doechii noted, before Fox kept pushing for the joint, noting, “It’s the roach. I love when it’s the roach, and it’s almost done and it tickles your lip a little bit.”

At last, Fox asked one more time, “No weed?” before Q bluntly replied, “No.”

It’s been an exciting year for Doechii, who is coming off the release of her Alligator Bites Never Heal mixtape, which came in at No. 10 on Billboard‘s Best Albums of 2024 List. The Florida native’s rise also resulted in her jumping to No. 6 on the Hottest Female Rappers list for 2024 after not appearing on the first iteration earlier this year.

  • T.O.P opens up about ‘Squid Game’ role being a “daunting proposition”

T.O.P opens up about ‘Squid Game’ role being a “daunting proposition”

Actor and former Big Bang member T.O.P has opened up about his recent role in the second season of Netflix’s Squid Game.

On January 15, T.O.P spoke to South Korean media for the first time in years to discuss his recent return to the public eye as Thanos in season two of Squid Game. The 37-year-old rapper and actor was previously absent from the public eye due to previous backlash over his 2017 conviction for marijuana use.

In an article published by The Korea Times, T.O.P shared that “the offer to play Thanos was a daunting proposition” for him. In Squid Game, Thanos is a rapper who joins the games after falling victim to a cryptocurrency scam. The character is also portrayed as a drug user, which contributes to his eccentric behaviour.

“The character mirrored my past, reflecting aspects I’d rather keep hidden,” he said. “The fear of being pigeonholed into one role made me hesitate. But destiny seemed to be pulling me in this direction.”

“For almost 10 years, I felt no one looked at me, but director Hwang Dong-hyuk reached out to me first,” T.O.P revealed. “The trust [and] the belief he had in me gave me the courage to take this on. As an actor, it is my duty to repay the trust. Excelling in my performance is another assignment in my life.”

The musician and actor also reflected on his thirties so far, calling it a “lost time” where he lived largely isolated from society. “I just kept working on music in the dark,” he shared, adding that “music was the only place where I could breathe”.

In early-2017, during his military service, T.O.P came under investigation and later tested positive for marijuana after the Seoul Metropolitan Police was informed of his use of the drug. In the ensuing trial, the rapper admitted to using the drug at his home in October 2016, prior to his enlistment.

T.O.P later received a 10-month jail sentence with a two-year suspension. In 2022, he and fellow Big Bang members G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung released the single ‘Still Life’. The rapper later announced his withdrawal from the group in 2023.
