DDG (rapper)

Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr. (born October 10, 1997), known professionally by his initials DDG, is an American rapper, online streamer and YouTuber. He started making videos in 2014, and briefly attended Central Michigan University. He dropped out of college within a year to focus on his YouTube career. In 2018, Granberry signed with Epic Records and co-founded his own record label Zooted Music two years later with managers Eric O'Connor and Dimitri Hurt. His 2020 single, "Moonwalking in Calabasas" (remixed featuring Blueface), entered the Billboard Hot 100 and received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Granberry made his boxing debut against Nate Wyatt in June 2021 at the YouTubers vs. TikTokers event, where he defeated Wyatt by unanimous decision.
