DDG has been dragged through the mud a lot on social media for this interaction with Young Thug and he's not having it.

DDG is no stranger to online scrutiny. There's been a microscope on him even more so ever since his split from Halle Bailey last year. Sometimes, people have read too far into certain situations involving the Pontiac, Michigan multi-hyphenate. For instance, there was a clip of him with another woman laid up in bed circulating online. However, it was clear promotion for a single he had been teasing back then. Overall, folks have been quick to jump the gun on DDG anytime he's involved in something that's potentially negative.

Last night, the internet was up to that again following a viral clip from the rapper's most recent stream. Per The Shade Room, the 27-year-old father of one popped out to support Nipsey Hussle's brother's new restaurant, Marathon Burger. Blacc Sam opened the shop just over a month ago (March 1) and it's been receiving nothing but positive reviews. The YouTuber wasn't simply chowing down, though. He was behind the counter and helping out the staff prepare the orders for the dozens of hungry patrons inside at the time.

Eventually, Young Thug and some of his friends walked in and over to where DDG was. Thugger reached over the counter with his hand out, ready for a dap. However, DDG seemingly ignored him and instead, Blacc Sam walked over and chatted it up with him for second. This went viral overnight and many thought this was either blatant disrespect on DDG's part or he was just simply nervous to talk to him. Others were even pointing out that Thug maybe didn't recognize the content creator due to him chopping off the dreads he's synonymous with.

But all of this couldn't be further from the truth according to the streamer. Following the interaction, he hopped on camera to say that he had already chatted it up with the Georgia icon prior to him walking in. DDG said, "Man, they spinning this sh*t." He then read a headline that said, 'Young Thug tried to dap up DDG but he ignored him.'" That's when said what actually happened. "No, he wasn't. I said what's up to him when he first walked in but y'all didn't see it." This is not the only time this week that people have mistaken his actions. On April Fool's Day, he snagged an image of a sonogram from a 2020 article and made it seem like he was having a second child. Some fell for it, but others caught on as well.
