Drake and DDG: A Hoops Showdown and a “Too Real” Bond
When worlds collide, sometimes it’s on the basketball court. Rapper and streamer DDG recently shared a hilarious and slightly heartbreaking story about playing one-on-one with his “favorite artist,” Drake, and the 6 God’s response has fans chuckling.
The tale began at a Beyoncé-hosted party, where DDG, a self-proclaimed Drake fan, introduced himself. Two days later, an invitation arrived: a one-on-one basketball game. What DDG thought would be a friendly bonding experience quickly turned into a humbling defeat.
“Then I went to go hoop with him and he was whooping my ass,” DDG recounted on the “360 With Speedy” podcast. “And I was like, ‘Damn’… ‘Cause you got to think like–it didn’t really feel competitive to me, it felt like, ‘Nah, I’m just hooping against one of my favorite rappers.'”
Unfortunately for DDG, Drake was “really taking it serious.” The result? Two straight losses for the streamer. “Played them one-on-one two games, but he got a shot on him for sure,” DDG admitted.
DDG’s disappointment was palpable. He wasn’t looking for a competitive rivalry; he just wanted to “bond” with his idol. “If I would have won we would have been homies still,” he joked, before lamenting, “You know how bad that hurt? You ever lost in something and never got a rematch? I got my ass whooped and never seen him again.”
However, the story took a heartwarming turn when Drake caught wind of DDG’s retelling. Responding on his Instagram Story, Drake called DDG “too real” and affirmed that they “bonded in my opinion.”
The exchange highlights the often-humorous dynamic between artists and their fans, even when both parties are themselves celebrities. DDG’s candid recounting of his defeat, coupled with Drake’s playful response, resonated with fans, who enjoyed the relatable anecdote.
Now, the burning question remains: will there be a rematch? DDG, with his 3.1 million YouTube subscribers, could certainly turn it into a must-watch event. For now, it’s a funny tale of a basketball game that went a little too seriously, and a bond that, according to Drake, was formed despite a lopsided score.
