Stories of loss and devastation currently dominate the headlines as multiple wildfires continue raging through southern California. Hundreds of thousands of Californians are starting from scratch after seeing their homes leveled, including Primus guitarist Larry “Ler” LaLonde and R&B singer Jhené Aiko. Sadly, rapper DDG may face a more complicated path to recovery after learning he doesn’t have fire insurance.
Ddg Could Stand to Lose Millions in Los Angeles Wildfire
DDG (born Daryl Dewayne Granberry Jr.) is attempting to secure fire insurance as he readies to flee his Los Angeles home.
“I found out today—I don’t know if this is TMI or not—but I found out today that I ain’t got fire insurance,” he said during a Friday (Jan. 9) Twitch livestream. “So I’m figuring all that out, bro, ’cause [if] my crib burned down, that’s just Ms wasted. So I gotta figure all this stuff out where I got insurance on my crib and stuff, ’cause if I don’t got fire insurance, bro, it’s a wrap. I just gotta take the L on the chin and I’m not trying to do that.”

Needless to say, filling out insurance paperwork isn’t ideal when you can literally see flames from your window. “If I got insurance, good old jolly day. I’m a happy man,” the 27-year-old rapper said. “I have no problem, burn away. Do your thing. Do whatever you got to do, Mr. Fire. If I got insurance, but if I don’t got insurance, though, it’s like, ‘All right, I’m pissed.’”
DDG dropped out of Central Michigan University to pursue a full-time entertainment career in Hollywood. In 2017, he collaborated with Famous Dex on the song “Lettuce,” which racked up 500,000 YouTube views in one hour. His 2020 song, “Moonwalking in Calabasas,” was certified platinum in June 2021.
At Least 11 Dead As Fires Rage On
The wildfires currently threatening DDG’s home have reduced nearly 40,000 acres to ashes since igniting Tuesday (Jan. 7.) CNN reports that at least 11 people have died, and officials expect that number to climb.
The two largest fires, in the Pacific Palisades and Altadena areas of Los Angeles, remained less than 15 percent contained as of Saturday (Jan. 11.)
