DDG Says YouTubers Earn More Than Rappers, Sparks Debate

by Daryl Nelson

Remember when Michigan rapper DDG started a debate after saying that Martin Luther King Jr. canceled racism?

Well, he started a new round of discussion on Tuesday after comparing rappers and YouTubers. That's because DDG started out as a YouTuber before becoming an artist.

"ngl.. youtubers/streamers make more money than rappers & it’s not even close," he tweeted.

Then after some disagreed with the 25-year-old, he shot back and bragged about his money.

"i ain’t arguing wit no n*gga i’m richer than.. lol you got it lil bro 😂," tweeted DDG.
