DDG laughed off the accusation.

DDG fired back at a fan on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday afternoon when a user accused him of exploiting his baby for fame. “Stop using your son for fame you weirdo," the user wrote to DDG after he shared a picture of his son. DDG shot back with a quote-tweet: “I never understood this narrative when my son can’t even talk yet. He’s ‘famous’ rn because of his parents. If ur dad posted you when u were young, no one would care lol."

Fans in the replies were stoked about the clapback. "Lol.. I don’t understand the hat£ on a man posting his own kid. Lots of people do it too and it’s okay why his gotta be different??," one user wrote. Another added: "You're just like any other parent posting pictures of their children. How dare u, you're a monster. I got 5 kids and I'm nobody so his logic is wrong. Lol."

DDG and Halle Bailey welcomed their son back in December 2023. Less than a year later, the two announced that they were parting ways. "After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways," the rapper wrote on his Instagram Story. "The decision was not easy, but we believe it's the best part forward for both of us. I cherish the time we've spent together and the love we shared. Despite the changes in our relationship, our love for each other remains deep and true."
