DDG's net worth is estimated at around $5 million to $8 million, built from YouTube ad revenue across several channels, his recording deal with Epic Records and platinum single "Moonwalking in Calabasas," his own label Zooted Music, touring, a boxing exhibition payday, and brand deals. DDG himself has claimed a much higher figure, telling Complex's "360 With Speedy" in 2025 that reports of an $8 million net worth were "$80 million off" -- before joking, "I'm a Libra, though. We be lyin and shit." He also said around the same time that he lives paycheck to paycheck due to the cost of multiple homes and cars, so his own public claims and his stated finances don't line up, and neither has been independently documented.

Early Life
DDG's real name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr. He was born on October 10, 1997, in Pontiac, Michigan, and was named class valedictorian at International Tech Academy before enrolling at Central Michigan University. He dropped out after his YouTube channel began drawing a real audience. In 2014, DDG's older brother, 21-year-old Darion Breckenridge, was shot and killed in Pontiac in a case that remains unsolved; DDG has said in interviews that the loss pushed him away from street life and toward music and content creation.
YouTube and Music Career
DDG began posting videos in 2014 and grew a network of channels -- covering pranks, vlogs, gaming, and music -- that today draw millions of subscribers combined. His early tracks and the 2017 EP "Givenchy" built enough momentum that he signed with Epic Records in June 2018. He released his debut album "Valedictorian" in 2019, and his 2020 single "Moonwalking in Calabasas" became his first Billboard Hot 100 entry and went platinum. He followed with the albums "It's Not Me It's You" (2022) and "Maybe It's Me..." (2023), made Forbes' 30 Under 30 list in 2022, and co-founded his own label, Zooted Music, in 2020 to release his and other artists' work.
Relationship with Halle Bailey and Son Halo
DDG and singer/actress Halle Bailey confirmed their relationship in 2022. Their son, Halo, was born in late December 2023, with the birth announced publicly in January 2024. Bailey and DDG broke up in October 2024 after roughly two and a half years together, saying at the time they remained "best friends" and planned to co-parent.
In 2025, the relationship became public in a more difficult way: court filings included allegations of abuse from both sides. Bailey was granted a temporary restraining order and temporary sole custody in May 2025; DDG was granted his own temporary restraining order the following month, though a judge denied his request to block Bailey from traveling out of the country with Halo for work. By October 2025, both parents had dropped their restraining order requests and finalized a custody agreement giving Bailey primary physical custody, with DDG receiving scheduled, professionally monitored visitation.
Current Work
DDG released two albums in 2025, "Blame the Chat" and "Moo," while continuing to run his YouTube channels and Twitch stream, which has around 2 million followers. He also appeared as a runner-up on the second season of the Netflix competition series "Inside" and picked up nominations at the 2025 Streamer Awards for Best Music Streamer and Best Breakout Streamer.
