Anaheim rapper Doughsoofficial says he had to distance himself from Phora

Anaheim rapper Doughsoofficial says he has stepped away from Phora. In a clip Juice Unlocked posted on Sept. 14, 2025, Dough said he holds no grudge but can't be part of "whatever situations" Phora has going on.

"It's not good for my brand," he said, adding that it's not good "for nothing I got going on."

What Dough said

Dough opened by making clear it isn't personal. "I ain't tripping on him," he said. He did not spell out what Phora's situations were, and the post did not either.

He said online comments don't scare him, because he knows where he's from and who he is. What does matter, he said, is when his own homies come to him, and he has to respect that.

He closed with a shout-out to Phora, telling him to keep doing his thing. But he said that, for him personally, he had to separate himself. He also appeared to say fans won't be seeing any more tours with Phora, though that part of the audio is hard to make out. "Unfortunately," he added.

“I ain't tripping on him.”

The context

Both rappers made Juice Unlocked's all-time top 50 Orange County rappers list in June 2025. Phora ranked No. 2, and Doughsoofficial came in at No. 12.

Three days before this clip went up, Juice Unlocked promoted a Sept. 11 YouTube livestream with Doughsoofficial and the duo 2 Tone Twins. The post does not say whether this clip came from that stream.

“It's not good for me, you feel me. It's not good for my brand, it's not good for nothing I got going on.”

“I know where I'm from, I know who I am.”

“Just me personally, like, I had to separate myself from that.”
