DDG hopes to see more creators in the YouTube and streaming space to venture into making music like he has.
In a new interview with XXL published on Monday (February 24), the YouTube star and rap artist encouraged others to follow suit.

“I hate being the only artist that’s doing both,” he said. “If it was more people that do that same thing as me, taking music serious, going on tour, doing things that artists do, we would take over.”
On the music front, DDG ended up catching a stray from Kendrick Lamar affiliate Hitta J3 after he put out a song with Tory Lanez a few months back.

Lanez appears on DDG’s EP Handling Business, and he shouts out Drake on his verse as he seemingly discusses the beef between Drizzy and K.Dot.
“I be up praying and waiting for the day that n-ggas come for me the way they did Drizzy/ I got the card in the wallet and big brodie’s problems are my problems, so fuck how you feeling about it/ Brodie gone stand on his own, but 2024, it ain’t no fair ones in Toronto,” he raps.

J3 apparently wasn’t feeling the Kendrick slight, so he took to X to speak his mind.
“Tory better chill out only person coming for him is the guard on that cell block nah but free that man,” he wrote. “DDG seen me at rich the kid party & looked like he seen a ghost & I said wassup he act like he was legally blind. The boy must really need help he got prisoners speaking up for him before his industry friends lol.” he theorized.
DDG then addressed the comments during a live stream – and laughed as he noted he didn’t even know who J3 is.
“I don’t even know who this is,” he said as he read the posts. “This how I look at it. A lot of people is getting mad at me like I rapped the verse. This is my analogy — that’s like Drake beefing with SZA because SZA fuck with Kendrick. But it’s my song so I understand, but if a n-gga sent you a verse and you put it out, what that mean? I just put it out. My verse was old.”
