Drake just gave DDG a major co-sign—even as the Pontiac rapper’s latest album, Blame the Chat, fights to gain momentum.

During a recent livestream with Adin Ross, the YouTuber turned rapper hopped on FaceTime with the 6 God himself. What started as a casual check-in quickly turned into a viral moment when Drizzy showed unexpected love for the project.
“Congrats on your album,” Drake said, catching Adin squirming since he hadn’t even listened to the project yet.
DDG, clearly amped, replied, “Appreciate you, bro.”

The two also brought up their previous hoop session. The Pontiac rapper has admitted Drake washed him on the court at his private gym, but both agreed it’s time for a rematch.
Though DDG didn’t think he made much of an impression that day, Drizzy later posted about the rapper on Instagram, writing, “ddg too real. We bonded in my opinion I dunno…”
Despite Drake’s Co-Sign, ‘Blame the Chat’ Under-Delivers
Despite the love from the 6 God, Blame the Chat hasn’t seen the same embrace on the charts. Early sales projections had it moving just 500 units in its first week. DDG later updated fans, claiming first-week numbers were closer to 1,230. Then, in a follow-up, he said it was on pace to hit 11,000. Still, the album failed to crack the Billboard 200.
Even with the slow numbers, DDG doesn’t seem to be sweating it. During another livestream last month, he got candid about his finances and the pressures that come with his lifestyle.
“I have to make money,” he said during a livestream. “Bills are high. Did I tell you how much my bills is a month? N—a, my bills high as s—t. If I don’t work, I’ma go broke ASAP… Like, I have to work. I don’t have a choice. It ain’t ’bout me trying to pocket some money. I have multiple homes, multiple cars. I have family. I have a child. I spend a lot of money.”
While Blame the Chat may not be lighting up the charts, DDG still has one of the biggest artists in the world in his corner—and in the rap game, that kind of backing can go a long way.
