The fresh-faced DDG is seen posing in front of a Mercedes-Benz while rocking a swaggy black and red suit with a $100 bill in his breast pocket. “Been doing maybachs since prom,” he wrote as the caption.
DDG wasn’t the only one with a sense of humor as his followers let the jokes fly in the comments. “That ain’t no Maybach it’s in August forward,” one follower wrote, while another commented, “How yo pants lil and big at the same time.”
Needless to say, DDG had the last laugh. On August 5, the platinum-certified rapper took to Instagram to show off his latest luxury toy: a 2021 Mercedes-Maybach S-class, which set him back a cool $300,000.

“I wanna see her throw it bach in the bach of the bach,” he wrote as the caption while posing in the backseat with multiple racks of money on his lap.
The 2021 Mercedes-Maybach S-class is just the latest addition to DDG’s impressive car collection; his garage also houses a customized 2018 Rolls-Royce, a 2019 Lamborghini Urus and a 2019 BMW i8.
