DDG was named the MVP of Kai Cenat's Streamer University after the streamer's controversial invite to the event.

Kai Cenat wrapped up his weekend-long "Streamer University" content marathon on May 25. On the last full night of the event, Cenat gave out awards to different creators who attended the event, hosted at the University of Akron. One of the names involved in the proceedings was streamer/rapper DDG.

DDG "taught" a class on how to win internet beef during his few days at Streamer University, which is appropriate given his lengthy history of feuding with his peers. Kai Cenat named him the MVP of Streamer University. DDG experienced the best period of his Twitch career in that stretch. He averaged over 100,000 viewers at one point, a first for him.

DDG happily accepted the award. He thanked Cenat for "always seeing the good in him" and thanked Cenat's fanbase, dubbed "The Mafia," because he never averaged "anywhere close" to 100,000 viewers in his career.

DDG's involvement in Streamer University caused controversy because of recent abuse allegations made against him by ex-girlfriend Halle Bailey. Bailey accused the rapper of physical and emotional abuse. She successfully received a temporary restraining order in the process. The pair have one son together, who DDG claims he's been "fighting" to see and who Bailey recently requested sole custody of.

DDG being named MVP of Streamer University was met with plenty of positivity from fans, though some argued in the replies on The Shade Room's Instagram post that fellow streamer/internet comedian FunnyMike deserved it over him. Regardless, the reaction to Cenat's recognition of the streamer seemed to go over well with those who watched the event unfold. Now that the weekend is over, DDG will continue to fight his legal battles. At this point, it seems that both sides would like to move on to the best of their abilities.
