A recent article from HotNewHipHop details how Michigan rapper and YouTuber DDG has been vocal about his unwavering support for Drake during the ongoing beef with Kendrick Lamar. DDG has made it clear that his loyalty to Drake runs deep, largely because of his long-standing connection to Drake’s music. In a January livestream, DDG stated, “I could never switch up on Drake as a fan, bruh. Even if he did something to me personally. I just couldn’t. I grew up listening to the man. I’ve been bumping his music since I was a kid.” He emphasized, “I’m a loyal-a*s fan. If I like your stuff, I’m with it forever”.
DDG continued to praise Drake during an appearance on the Mani Petty platform, calling Drake “the best artist alive.” He explained that this opinion wasn’t biased, but rather based on Drake’s ability to achieve platinum status across multiple genres-something DDG believes no one else is doing.
The article notes that DDG’s loyalty and respect for Drake are notable, especially given that such public support for Drake has become rare during the heated feud with Kendrick Lamar. However, supporting Drake can draw the ire of Kendrick’s fans, and DDG is well aware of this dynamic.
The piece also touches on the intensity of the online fan wars during the peak of the Kendrick-Drake beef, referencing the period around the release of tracks like “6:16 in LA,” “Family Matters,” and “meet the grahams.” Fan bases remain fiercely defensive, still debating who won the battle even a year later.
DDG recently discussed his loyalty again on Angela Yee’s Way Up platform. During a segment where they took calls from listeners, a Kendrick Lamar fan called in to criticize DDG for supporting Drake, saying, “Don’t judge me, but I want to say that I really don’t like OVO and DDG you a lame because you be hating on Kendrick. I’m out.” DDG and Yee laughed off the comment, and DDG clarified that he doesn’t dislike Kendrick Lamar-he just prefers Drake more.
