DDG takes to Twitch to respond to all of the negative backlash, asserting that anyone who says he's a terrible person is a liar.

DDG has been in the news a lot recently, and most of it for negative reasons. Ex-girlfriend Halle Bailey accused the rapper of physical and emotional abuse stemming from when they were actually together. She successfully received a temporary restraining order and recently requested sole custody of their young son, Halo.

DDG recently attended Kai Cenat's Streamer University event despite the controversy his involvement brought. Cenat even awarded him with "MVP" of the weekend for experiencing career-best Twitch numbers. Several other people showed their support for him, including Instagram model and internet personality India Love. Now, he's back on his own stream discussing recent events and combatting the notion that he's a "bad person," saying that he can't be canceled.

"Y'all gotta give up on trying to cancel me, it don't work," he said. "Just join! I promise you're going to laugh if you watch me, you're going to understand why I don't get canceled [...] God got my back times 10, I continue to win for a reason." He concluded by saying that if anyone says he "ain't s**t" or that he's a "terrible person," they're lying.

DDG's presence online has been highly divisive for years, and it has only gotten worse following the accusations of abuse made by Halle Bailey. Some have sided with DDG, while others have cited the clip above and the recent frequent praise from people like Cenat and Love as a manipulation tactic as he continues to fight legal troubles.

Regardless, DDG is not exactly in a good spot, "cancellation" or not. As the legal back and forth continues on and considering the public nature of both parties, things may only get worse before they get better. Fans and observers will have to wait quite a while to see how things play out.
