DDG addresses a fan who claimed he sold his soul to the devil.

DDG continues to rise in popularity. From his days of being a YouTuber to earning platinum plaques as a rapper, he continues to go up in his career. These days, he’s experiencing a new level of fame, thanks to his high-profile relationship with Halle Bailey. The couple has been going strong, though they recently hit a rough patch, thanks to the powers of the Internet. Rubi Rose exasperated the situation before Chrisean Rock's involvement made things worse. But overall, DDG had everyone’s attention due to the ongoing drama.

The “Moonwalking In Calabasas” rapper also became one of the few YouTubers to successfully transition into music. Though he continues to release vlogs, he earned a platinum plaque and a number of co-signs, from artists like Kevin Gates to Polo G, who had incredibly kind words for the Michigan-based creator during a livestream. However, it seems that those who’ve been following DDG from the jump feel as though he’s sold out to a degree.

DDG Claps Back After He’s Accused Of Selling His Soul

It seems as though some don’t believe that it was only hard work that got DDG to the position he’s in now. The rapper shared a screenshot of a DM he received from a fan who accused him of selling his soul to become famous. “DDG why did u sell ur soul bro, I’m a follower of Christ don’t say u didn’t I know. My brother it is never too late to come to Jesus,” he added. Your eternal life is much more important than anything in this fallen world…. And if you dont know Jesus when u die u are going to be burning forever just like the rest of those devel worshipping industry plants.”

These accusations aren’t new for any celebrity but this particular comment clearly caught DDG’s attention. The YouTuber hit the ‘Gram with a screenshot of the message before he made it clear that he hasn’t sold his soul to anyone. “I promise y’all I did not ‘sell my soul’ it’s 2023. Just because n***as got money don’t mean they worship the devil or whatever conspiracies y’all be running with,” he wrote. Check out his message above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.
