<p>While many have dreams of attaining stardom through a music career, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/ddg-responds-to-previous-comments-from-amanda-seales-why-would-you-be-speaking-on-a-young-relationship-like-that/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DDG</a> dished on a potentially more lucrative avenue to success: streaming and video creation!</p>
<p>The rapper, who got his start as a YouTube content creator and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@pontiacmadeddgVLOGS/videos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">continues to upload</a> on the platform, spoke on the subject through Twitter on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Seemingly without provocation, DDG dove into a comparison between what he earns as a rapper and what he makes through YouTube. Specifically, he shared that YouTubers and streamers &#8220;make more money than rappers,&#8221; and he went as far as to add that &#8220;it&#8217;s not even close.&#8221;</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Twitter Discusses DDG&#8217;s Proclamation</h3>
<p>As is the case for situations like this, people swiftly began to chime in online. However, rather than tearing into DDG, many agreed with his statement.</p>

<p>Largely, the rationale was behind the fact that musicians are often indebted to their labels.</p>

<p>Fellow musician Cochise also agreed with DDG&#8217;s statement. In fact, the &#8220;Hatchback&#8221; artist even revealed that he&#8217;s been expressing similar sentiments &#8220;for years.&#8221;</p>
<p><amp-twitter data-tweetid="1600296499682115584" layout="responsive" width="600" height="480"></amp-twitter></p>
<p>Various YouTubers and Twitch streamers jumped into the conversation as well, including Mr. Beast, KSI, and Stable Ronaldo.</p>

<p>In spite of the widespread agreement, it was also stated that the comparison is dependent on how poppin&#8217; the rapper is.</p>

<p>Others questioned why, if what he says is true, DDG would continue to pursue music when he could fully commit to YouTube instead. However, the answer was simple: &#8220;passion for it and another income.&#8221;</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">He Said What He Said!</h3>
<p>Despite what people may have to say, DDG doubled down on his comment with a follow-up tweet.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I ain&#8217;t arguing wit no n***a I&#8217;m richer than.. lol you got it lol bro.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>Humorously, DDG also called on Mr. Beast to back him up and &#8220;drop a screenshot of [his] analytics page.&#8221;</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">DDG Stays Stirring Up Conversation On Social Media</h3>
<p>This situation comes on the heels of DDG becoming the talk of the Twitter timeline for sharing his &#8220;real voice&#8221;</p>
<p>As <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/ddg-has-twitter-shook-after-showing-off-his-real-voice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Shade Room</em></a> previously reported, the humorous moment went down during an appearance on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1O3td3h9I0" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Dope As Usual </em></a>podcast, and he left both hosts and Twitter users in awe!</p>
