DDG Denies Being a “Bad Person” Amid Abuse Allegations and Claims He Can’t Be Canceled
Rapper and YouTuber DDG has found himself at the center of major controversy in recent weeks, following serious allegations made by his ex-girlfriend, actress and singer Halle Bailey. Bailey, known for her role as Ariel in The Little Mermaid, has accused DDG of both physical and emotional abuse during their relationship. She was recently granted a temporary restraining order and is now seeking sole custody of their son, Halo.
Despite the intense public scrutiny, DDG appeared at Kai Cenat’s popular Streamer University event, a weekend-long Twitch extravaganza featuring some of the internet’s biggest creators. While his presence stirred backlash, it didn’t stop Cenat from awarding him “MVP” of the event, citing DDG’s career-best Twitch performance. DDG’s attendance also drew support from Instagram model and influencer India Love, adding fuel to an already polarizing situation.
In response to the backlash, DDG took to his own livestream to address the mounting criticism and defend his character. “Y’all gotta give up on trying to cancel me, it don’t work,” he said. “Just join! I promise you’re going to laugh if you watch me, you’re going to understand why I don’t get canceled […] God got my back times 10, I continue to win for a reason.” He wrapped up the segment by dismissing negative opinions, saying anyone calling him a “terrible person” is simply not telling the truth.
The clip quickly made its way across social media platforms, igniting fresh debate over DDG’s actions and public persona. While some fans continue to rally behind him, others argue that the praise he’s receiving from high-profile creators like Cenat and influencers like Love could be part of a larger image-rehabilitation strategy — especially as he remains embroiled in legal battles with Bailey.
For many, DDG has long been a divisive figure online. His ability to thrive on YouTube, music, and now Twitch has built him a sizable fanbase, but the recent allegations have placed him under a different kind of spotlight. Some view his continued presence and success as evidence that the influencer world lacks real accountability, while others argue he’s being unfairly judged before legal proceedings have concluded.
What’s clear is that DDG’s public and legal troubles are far from over. As the custody battle over baby Halo unfolds and more details potentially emerge, the situation is poised to get more complex. Whether DDG’s claim that he can’t be canceled holds up in the long run remains to be seen — but for now, his every move is being closely watched by fans, critics, and the wider entertainment world.
