DDG has claimed that he is forced to live paycheck to paycheck because of his ostentatious lifestyle.

The rapper and YouTuber confessed on a stream that he has to work constantly to keep up with his expenses.

He said: “I have to make money. Bills are high. Did I tell you how much my bills is a month? N-gga, my bills high as shit. If I don’t work, I’ma go broke ASAP.”

DDG added: “Like, I have to work. I don’t have a choice. It ain’t ’bout me trying to pocket some money. I have multiple homes, multiple cars. I have family. I have a child. I spend a lot of money.”

It’s not just DDG’s financial decisions that have been called into question but also his judgement as a parent.

Last year, former partner Halle Bailey criticized him for taking their young son on Kai Cenat’s livestream without telling her.

“[H]i everyone. just so you know i am out of town and i don’t approve of my baby being on a stream tonight,” she wrote on X in November.

“[I] wasn’t told or notified and i am extremely upset to have my baby in front of millions of people. i am his mother and protector and saddened that i wasn’t notified especially when i am out of town.”

DDG was also relentlessly mocked for seemingly buying their one-year-old son Halo a Ferrari for his birthday though he later admitted that the gift was not all it seemed.
During a live stream with model India Love, DDG admitted he did not actually spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on something his child couldn’t use for well over a decade.

“Want me to be honest? I rented it. Okay? I said it,” he told her. “I think it was cool. It was a good moment. He gon’ be able to look at it when he get older.”
