DDG received backlash in early 2025 for his single father comments after the split from singer-actress Halle Bailey.

After pledging his alligance to Drake in previous livestreams, DDG cements the loyalty as he coins Drizzy the "best artist alive."

During his appearance on the Mani Petty podcast, the Michigan rap star made it clear he will always choose Drake over Kendrick Lamar. “I think Drake is the best artist alive,” DDG declared. “Not even being biased. Just as a listener—Drake’s gone platinum across every genre. Nobody else is doing that.”

While Drake and DDG have never collaborated, Drizzy paid respect to the YouTuber's accomplishments in the streaming landscape while gambling with Adin Ross last month. DDG's love for Drake is rooted in years of fandom. He recalls listening to Drizzy since he was a kid.

“I could never switch up on Drake as a fan, bruh,” he said in January. “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.”

“I’m a loyal-ass fan. If I like your stuff, I’m with it forever,” he added.

DDG Picks Drake Over Kendrick Lamar

In an era where allegiance in hip-hop can shift overnight, DDG’s unwavering support stands out. For him, Drake’s impact transcends the current moment. It's about influence, consistency, and personal connection—an artist whose music shaped his youth and continues to guide his perspective.

The one-year anniversary of the beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar was last week. Fans celebrated by fans across social media. Users would revisit the diss tracks, repost old tweets, and discuss unknown facts.

Kendrick Lamar would begin the Grand National Tour with SZA. Drake and Kendrick Lamar continue to battle on the charts as "luther" and "Nokia" sit that the top of the Billboard charts. Kenrick Lamar and SZA's collabortion has held the top spot for a record breaking 13 non-consecutive weeks.

SZA's SOS album recently broke Michael Jackson's record for weeks at number-one on the Billboard charts.
