DDG is causing controversy on social media after proclaiming himself to be the “best rapper alive.” In one post on X (formerly Twitter), he wrote. “People finally realizing I’m the best rapper alive. look at God.” As other pages began sharing the quote, he reiterated in a follow-up: “THE BEST & I STAND ON THAT. DONT KNOCK IT TIL U HEARD IT.”
“When you’re starving for attention, so you just blurt out the dumbest thing imaginable,” one hater wrote back. Another user added: “You’re disrespecting so many artists that put in way more work than you. Even if you’re just joking. You don’t have the lyrical reach. Even tho I actually enjoy some of your music so I’m not hating but relax.” Others ended up coming to DDG’s defense. “A man with no self confidence is twice defeated in the race of life,” one fan said. One more posted: “Bold statement but every artist should feel they’re the best in the world.”

His statement about being the best in hip-hop comes after the release of his latest single, “WHAT U BAD FOR.” On that song, he’s just as confident as with his latest social media posts. “Yeah, they cappin’ and s*** on the blogs, they think I’m a bum, but f*** that s*** / I like when they countin’ me out, ’cause I know I’m that n****, I love that s***,” he raps. He also mentions his ex and the mother of his child, adding: “Thing about Halo mommy, you know that’s my baby forever, y’all know that I love that— (Go).”
