At the time of school, he was very much in sports and he wanted to be a sportsman. But he skipped his sporting ambition and preferred studies. During the college days, he thought to start producing videos and post them on YouTube. But that just served as a pastime initially. While after a couple of years he took it seriously.

Rap Career

Until 2017 there were no music videos shared by DDG. The only stuff he produced were the pranks, Vlogs, and the reactions. While increasing his online presence he created an account on SoundCloud as well. And that became a platform for his music career.

His initial release attracted a couple of recording studios that offered him a career further into his music expertise. It was the summer of 2017 when he launched his first professionally recorded song. In the same year, he collaborated with some other singers and launched a few hits that garnished his fame.

Personal life

A lot of guys thought that DDG is dating Kellie Sweet, a YouTube personality, since they saw them together in a video, Meet my Girlfriend. Speculations went further and many started believing that they are dating. Soon as the fire was about to rise, the couple explained that there is no such relationship between them.
