DDG vs Reggie (Lil Rodney Son) drama explained: All about the viral controversy between the two rappers
The internet's latest Twitch-tainment war is between none other than DDG and Reggie, aka Lil Rodney Son. What started as a casual reaction to a DDG album has spiraled into a full-blown back-and-forth involving music, relationships, fatherhood, and even the loss of family members.
And yes, it's messy. Here's everything you need to know!
It All Started With a Reaction Clip
Reggie was doing what most streamers do: reacting to viral content. During a Twitch stream, he saw a TikTok clip of DDG discussing how people were faking support for his music. Apparently, DDG felt Reggie was throwing shade, calling his album mid, even though he'd previously praised it.
DDG clapped back on his own stream, saying:
'You just listened to my old album...and said it was hard, bro. Like, stop faking, bro.'
He even told Reggie to 'watch full clips' before speaking on his name.
Reggie Fires Back — And He's Not Holding Back
Reggie wasn't here to play either. He doubled down saying he
never said the whole album was good
, just that maybe 'one or two tracks were decent.' He also called DDG out for being
too pressed about a relationship situation
that had nothing to do with him.
His words?
'You're a grown a** man, bro. Like, why are you even worried about another man's relationship?'
And then came the spice:
'Sometimes you got to mind your business.'
Reggie Brings Up DDG's Family And It Gets Real Personal
Just when we thought this might stay music-related, Reggie brought up DDG's son, Halo, and his relationship with Halle Bailey. In a now-viral moment, Reggie said:
'Where your son at, n***a?'
He mocked DDG for being involved in Twitch drama while having father duties. He even said DDG would have to
'live with this s**t for the rest of your life.'

At this point, it was no longer about music — it was about life choices, family, and deep personal stuff.
DDG Goes Nuclear From Italy
DDG wasn't about to let that slide. From an IRL Twitch stream in Italy, he launched a brutal response with the title:
'REGGIE DAD GONE.'
He told his viewers:
'I've lost all respect for that little a** boy… You bring my family into it, I'll bring yours into it.'
Yeah, he went scorched earth. The gloves were off. No limits.
Reggie Responds (Again), But Chooses Restraint
Despite being furious, Reggie said he wouldn't go as far as dissing the dead.
'Mentally, you gotta protect your peace, gang.'
He also called out DDG for using his late father as a background on stream, calling it 'lame' and 'unnecessary.'
In an era where clout is currency, this feud blurred lines. What started as a music reaction ended up dragging in kids, dead parents, and real-life wounds. And while some fans are calling it 'content,' others think it went too far.

The ' Bajrangi Bhaijaan ' actor said, 'Long time back, we three brothers were watching the movie Tarzan and playing a game that involved stones.

He added, "It's been a big part of making those childhood dreams come true," Slater said of being a part of the Wicked franchise. "I saw Wicked on Broadway with my, I think, fifth-grade class. We went on a school trip before the Tonys. It just opened, and we went, and I saw it, and that was one of the first shows that I saw," as per the outlet. "And then I brought my niece to see it for her ninth birthday," Slater continued. "I got to see it again with new eyes, and see what it must have felt like for me to see that. And so it's been such a huge part of me to now be a part of it, to be a part of Wicked, that's changed my life in a huge way," reported People.

‘Music is my saviour; I'm not sure who I'd Be without It'
1 2 While turning 40 can be a daunting milestone for many, Shruti Haasan isn't losing sleep over it. With her milestone birthday coming up in January, the actor-singer is embracing the idea of growing older with candour, humour and a sharp sense of self. During a recent visit to the city, she sat down with Hyderabad Times for a freewheeling conversation, opening up about letting go of ageist expectations, stepping back from the online world, her thoughts on AI and creativity, and the nostalgic joy of her first-ever recording at six. 'I want to be my honest & authentic self with people when I'm on social media' There's an ease with which Shruti carries herself, a quality that's sharpened over years of living in the limelight while charting her own course. Whether it's choosing roles that interest her or stepping back from the noise, she says her choices today are guided more by instinct than compulsion. That's what prompted her recent digital detox. 'I'm not fond of words like attachment or detachment because they carry so many connotations, I wanted to step away from social media for a while. I think I just needed that,' she explains, adding, 'I want to be honest and authentic with people. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo And I wasn't in a state of mind or frame of mind to feel like sharing. You don't have to always be sharing. Everyone should take a digital detox; and everyone should put their phone away for a whole two hours if they can.' 'I'm genuinely excited about AI, it's unavoidable & will develop at an incredible pace' Technology, ironically, is something Shruti is deeply curious about, particularly the growing presence of AI in creative fields. She references her segment X-Life from the Telugu anthology Pitta Kathalu, directed by Nag Ashwin , where she played a character trapped in a tech-saturated future. 'I see the world shifting and it's surreal because it's actually happening just like how the movie predicted,' she says. Still, while she acknowledges the inevitability and power of AI, Shruti draws a firm line around what it can never emulate. 'I'm genuinely excited about AI because it's unavoidable and will develop at an incredible pace. However, I've always believed that while AI can mimic human thinking and leverage immense computational power, it will never be able to replicate the human soul. The soul is the essence, and that can never be duplicated.' 'I feel truly blessed to have made my singing debut at 6' From starting as a child singer to delivering chart-toppers like Odiyamma, Shruti's had quite a journey as a singer. 'My father is very supportive and he is such a pookie. My debut song as a child singer was in dad's iconic film Thevar Magan,' she says, adding, 'I remember those days when I was six, practicing in the car while driving to the shoot with my dad for my first song as a singer. Back then, I didn't know Shivaji Ganesan as the OG. I used to call him Shivaji thatha, and Ilaiyaraaja Sir as Raja uncle. But now, looking back, I feel truly blessed to have made such a debut in singing.' She adds, 'Music is my saviour, I don't know if I'd be alive without it.'
