Doechii views the last few years of her life through the lens of classic sitcoms like Family Matters in the official video for “Denial is a River.” Directed by Carlos Acosta and James Mackel, the high-energy video features cameos by Zack Fox, ScHoolboy Q, Rickey Thompson, Teezo Touchdown, Earl Sweatshirt, SiR, Baby Tate, and DJ Miss Milan.
When the trailer for the video – inspired by the title sequence of Family Matters, complete with the theme song “As Days Go By” – dropped last week, it elicited a barrage of comments from fans and fellow artists, including SZA, GloRilla, Hayley Williams and Willow Smith. Doechii also shared two skits to accompany the video – “Doechii Slaps Brad Pitt” and “La Rosa De Doechii.” Comedy Central posted a third skit, “Can I Hit That” with ScHoolboy Q.
