DDG shared his journey from poverty to making it on Forbes 30 under 30 list. Even though the list does not share the exact net worth of those included, DDG said it focuses more on their impact and success. Speaking candidly about his childhood, he revealed that at one point his family didn't have hot water, which he described as a "core memory." His mother worked at Rite Aid and the Dollar Store, often witnessing robberies at her workplace. DDG emphasized that these experiences have shaped his music, and he uses his life experiences as inspiration for his songs. Despite the harsh realities of his past, DDG's attitude remains positive, viewing his past struggles as a normal part of life, and stating that he strives to put those around him in a position to grow.
