DDG wanted to discuss parenthood with Trippie Redd.

Trippie Redd has revealed that he isn't actually the father of the child he thought he was following a DNA test. Speaking with DDG about being a parent, he explained that he got the test and doesn't have any kids after all. Trippie had announced that he welcomed a son back in November.

"How's fatherhood?" DDG asked in a vlog on YouTube. "I feel like we had a kid around the same time." From there, Trippie remarked: "Bruh, I got a DNA test. I don't even got a kid." He explained: "I swear, bro. I thought I did, and then I told the world that. Like, ahead of time, I never got no DNA test. And I ended up getting a DNA test and it wasn't my kid."

From there, DDG asked "Did it kind of mess with you a little bit?" to which Trippie admitted it did. He also revealed his mother was the one to pressure him into getting the DNA test. "I feel like all the things I was going through during that time was like, really f**king with me," he said. "That's why I couldn't go on tour, or like, couldn't do shows and s**t. I couldn't really get in my spunk, and feel good and s**t. It was a lot of s**t going on. Just a lot of confusion. I mean, it's life. A lot of s**t just happens. Maybe it happened for a reason."
