'Who at Apple Music trolling me since I dropped my new song?' he wrote, adding crying emojis. 'Apple Music fix this gang.'

The issue came to light on the same day DDG released a new song, further fuelling the reaction. He reposted a similar screenshot shared by Pop Crave and added, 'Noooooo not on the same day I drop my song.'
The viral joke that DDG's initials stand for 'Doo Doo Garbage' resurfaced earlier this year. The nickname originated from YouTuber SoLLUMINATI in June 2023 and has since become a meme. At one point, a Spotify search for '💩💩' also linked to DDG, prompting more ridicule across social media.
The situation escalated offline when a Dream Con attendee called DDG 'Doo Doo Garbage' in person, leading to a physical altercation involving his brother DuB. The incident was captured on video and later referenced during DDG's custody dispute with Halle Bailey.
Despite the meme's popularity, DDG's name is a simple abbreviation of his full name, Daryl Dwayne Granberry. The rapper has made no secret of this, and continues to address the trolling with both humour and frustration.
Apple Music has yet to comment on the matter.

Drake's 'What Did I Miss?' tops US Spotify and Apple Music charts after release
Drake's latest single, 'What Did I Miss?', has taken the top spot on both the US Spotify and Apple Music charts, proving once again why the Toronto rapper remains a dominant force in the streaming era. The track, believed to be the lead single from his upcoming album ICEMAN, is generating major buzz following its surprise release. According to Chart Data, the song quickly soared to No. 1 on both platforms shortly after its debut. Drake, already the most streamed artist in Spotify history, continues to add to his legacy with another chart-topping release. Apple Music also recently highlighted him as the artist with the most entries on its decade-spanning Top 500 list, with 39 songs included. "What Did I Miss?" marks a strong rebound for Drake after his controversial feud with Kendrick Lamar earlier this year. His previous single "NOKIA" peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remains in the top 20, while "What Did I Miss?" is expected to break into the top 10 after its first full week of tracking. The rollout for ICEMAN began with a cryptic livestream before the song dropped, but no official release date for the album has been announced. Drake only teased that it's coming 'soon,' leaving fans speculating whether it will arrive as early as July 11. With streaming numbers climbing and anticipation building, ICEMAN could become one of Drake's most successful releases yet. As fans wait, the industry is watching closely to see how the superstar navigates his next era.
