Doechii Discusses ‘Surreal’ Experience Opening for Beyoncé: ‘A Huge Honor’

The “What It Is (Block Boy)” rapper joined DJ Khaled on stage this past weekend during his opening set at the Renaissance World Tour

Opening for Beyoncé was “surreal” for Doechii, who opened for Bey’s Renaissance World Tour in Los Angeles over the weekend as part of DJ Khaled‘s star-studded performance.

During the set at SoFi Stadium, the Top Dawg Entertainment artist played some of her biggest hits — including the Billboard-charting “What It Is (Block Boy)” — and even earned some love from Beyoncé herself as a result. Other artists who joined Khaled included 2 Chainz, Wiz Khalifa, Roddy Ricch and Coi Leray.

“It didn’t even feel real,” Doechii, 25, told PEOPLE at Victoria’s Secret’s “The Tour” New York Fashion Week event on Wednesday. “I feel like when I got on stage, I just blacked out. I was like, ‘What’s happening right now?'”

“It’s an honor, a huge honor, a big moment that I’ll never forget, ever,” she adds.

On Twitter shortly after her performance, Doechii added that she was “grateful and forever inspired” by Beyoncé. “All I can say is thank you, with everything I have, THANK YOU.”
