DDG has been making waves lately — but not for music. The rapper and influencer is at the center of buzz surrounding his close friendship with fellow influencer India Love, and a viral yacht party drama that took social media by storm. We caught up with DDG at LAX to get the real scoop — and it’s juicier than you think.
“No Romance Here” — DDG’s Friendship with India Love Explained
Fans got hooked on speculation after DDG gifted India Love a flashy heart-shaped necklace during a recent livestream. Social media instantly jumped to conclusions, asking: Are these two dating?
Not quite. Speaking candidly to TMZ Hip Hop, DDG made it crystal clear that there’s no romance in the mix.
“It’s just me returning the favor,” he said. “She’s done kind things for me before, so this was a thoughtful gesture.”
India Love confirmed the vibe, telling us:
“He’s a great guy, a solid person in my corner. I don’t know what God has for my life, but I know he’s a great guy. We support each other — that’s what matters.”
The duo’s relationship is all about synergy and boundaries — two friends lifting each other up, not a couple caught up in a love story. DDG even joked that maybe everyone buys their good associates diamond necklaces!
Viral Yacht Party Drama: DDG Responds to “Broke Girl” Controversy
Over the weekend, a video went viral from a yacht rented by DDG and streamer friend BenDaDonnn. The clip showed a woman partying onboard claiming she had only $130 to her name. Naturally, social media exploded.
Some argued the woman was an invited guest and didn’t need to pay, while others threw shade, saying “brokies sink ships.” The debate sparked heated comments across Twitter and Instagram.
When asked, DDG took the high road:
“It was a misunderstanding — she’s welcome anytime. Cool people get to hang in cool places.”
He shrugged off the drama with a laugh and made it clear the party vibes were all about good energy, not gatekeeping wallets.
DDG’s Current Mindset: “I’m Chilling and Focused”
Outside the romance rumors and yacht clips, DDG opened up about his personal life. Dating is off the table for now.
“I’m chilling,” he told reporters at LAX. “Focused on the work.”
This comes amid ongoing tensions from his recent breakup with singer Halle Bailey, mother of their son Halo. The split has been public and complicated, involving custody battles and serious allegations earlier this year — topics DDG is steering clear of for now.
What’s Next for DDG? Staying in the Spotlight Without the Drama
DDG continues to build momentum as a rapper and content creator, navigating fame with a tight-knit circle of friends and collaborators.
Notably, at Wireless Fest earlier this month, Drake playfully teased DDG onstage about “fucked up exes,” but DDG kept his cool behind the scenes — telling his cameraman to hold off on filming to avoid any media spins.
Fans can expect more music and more candid moments, minus the headlines about personal drama.
Why This Matters: Friendship Over Fame in the Influencer Era
DDG and India Love’s story is a refreshing reminder that not every public connection is a romance. Their mutual respect and support highlight a different kind of celebrity bond — one based on loyalty and real friendship.
Meanwhile, DDG’s handling of the yacht party controversy shows maturity beyond the usual social media clout chasing.
