What did DDG mention in his health update to fans? Details explored
On March 28, 2025, as reported by HotNewHipHop, rapper DDG updated fans on his health, following up on a now-deleted video of an indentation forming on his leg when he poked it. The clip garnered a lot of concern from fans, but the rapper assured his audience that he had a full check-up done and underwent blood work as well.
"[The doctor] called me today and he said I'm the healthiest 27-year-old he's ever seen in his life. That's what he said! He tested me for everything in the book. I'm healthy, n***a. My squishy leg is just an injury from hooping. I don't have heart failure, for the people that wished for me to die," the rapper said.
The rapper added that there were a lot of people who wished for his death and were happy about his 'squishy leg.' DDG further declared that he wasn't dying, his liver was intact, and he didn't have any STDs or HIV. The rapper added that he was disease-free and "100% healthy" except for a Vitamin D deficiency.
In addition to making an album on a 24/7 live stream, the 27-year-old was recently in the headlines owing to his claims against his ex-partner Halle Bailey. On March 8, 2025, the rapper released his track Don't Take My Son, accusing Bailey of keeping him away from their son, Halo.
