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.”
DDG says he basically lives check to check and has no choice but to work every single day to keep up his luxurious lifestyle, or he’ll go broke immediately for taking any breaks. 👀 😮

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.”
In a follow-up post, the singer and actress added: “[A]s a woman experiencing severe postpartum, there are boundaries that i wish to be respected. nobody knows what someone is going through until they snap.”
“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.”
Not any type of flex.. secure the financials. One slip and you outta there!!!
Anyone can buy a house. The hard part is keepin it mutha phucka
Only a broke MF would RENT a Ferrari and claim he bought it for their son for insta bait clicks.
All on him. Who cares.
