“This just goes to show why I don’t use it,” he also shared. “I just get real insecure and I don’t like to really expose myself like that. I like to stay lowkey and just be who I am.”
“A lot of people be like, ‘Damn, why you don’t just talk in your real voice or rap in your real voice?’ I just feel like it’s too motherf**king deep. So I’ve just been trying to talk regular.” DDG continued.
Sitting down with the Dope As Usual podcast in October, the “Die 4 Respect” rapper shocked many when he began talking in a bass voice.
“I don’t understand. Maybe it’s an inside joke. We’ve had like 200 people say ask him about his real voice,” host Dope As Yola asked on the episode. Then, DDG used his natural tone.
