Doja Cat praised SZA at the Grammys 2022 tonight (April 3) as the pair collected an award for their collaboration ‘Kiss Me More’.

The 2021 single won the Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, and was nominated alongside the likes of BTS, Coldplay, Justin Bieber and Benny Blanco, and Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga.

Doja Cat was in the bathroom when the award was announced, with SZA taking to the stage first to accept the award. As her collaborator joined her moments later, she joked: “Bro, you were in the bathroom for five minutes, are you serious?”

Addressing the audience, Doja said: “I have never taken such a fast piss in my whole life. Thank you everybody. I really appreciate it. Thank you to everybody – my family, my team. I wouldn’t be here without you and I wouldn’t be here without my fans.”

Turning to SZA, she added: “And you know what, SZA you are everything to me. You are incredible. You are the epitome of talent. You’re a lyricist. You’re everything. I just need you to say something – just something, please give them something.”

SZA thanked her musical partner, her mother and her God before adding: “I’m glad you made it back in time.”

Doja wrapped up the acceptance speech tearfully, telling the crowd through tears: “I like to downplay a lot of shit but this is a… it’s a big deal. Damn. Thank you everybody. Be safe, take care.”

Going into the night, Doja Cat was in the running for seven awards. Best Pop Duo/Group Performance was the only trophy she took home.
