Video shared by the rapper, 27, shows deputies surrounding him at a paintball tournament on Aug. 11 and briefly handcuffing him NEED TO KNOW DDG, 27, was the victim of an alleged swatting incident over the weekend in California In a video posted to YouTube, he is seen being led in handcuffs by deputies to a squad car and later being let out of those cuffs A Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesperson told People they had no knowledge of the incident and that any information would need to come from the Santa Clarita station Popular YouTube star and rapper DDG claims he was the victim of a swatting incident over the weekend. The 27-year-old, who was born Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., went live on YouTube Aug. 11 and shared video from earlier that day which showed him being surrounded by members of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department in Castaic, where he was participating in a paintball tournament. The video shows deputies handcuffing him and escorting him to a vehicle, at which point the handcuffs are removed from his wrists. DDG said on YouTube that deputies refused to respond when he asked them why he was being detained. A member of the L.A. County Sheriff's Department staff told People they had no knowledge of the incident and that any information would need to come from the Santa Clarita station. Multiple calls to that station went unanswered as did emails requesting information. DDG titled his live broadcast after the alleged swatting: "I ALMOST D*ED TODAY." He described the moment deputies allegedly circled him with their cars, saying: "Ain't no what's up, ain't no nothing! Ain't no dude, we got a call. Nothing," DDG recounted. Instead, he alleged deputies immediately instructed him to get his hands in the air. DDG went on to say that he was in an altered state at the time, which made things even more intense, "And y'all know i just got done smoking. I just got done smoking. So, you got to think what's going through my mental, bro," DDG said. "I literally just got done getting high. I'm fried. So, I'm thinking to myself this whole time like, 'is this real?'"Deputies eventually released DDG, who said that he believes he was the victim of a swatting incident. Authorities have not confirmed what prompted deputies to rush to the site and detain DDG. DDG is facing no charges and did not say in his YouTube video if he had any notion who might be behind the swatting. In May 2025, his ex Halle Bailey, with whom he has a child, was granted a restraining order after alleging in court filings that the rapper was abusive. Bailey also received physical and legal custody of the couple's son Halo. Read the original article on People
