The Beginning
Image Credit: Bryan Steffy/Getty Images for Complex The feud kicked off when Twitch streamer Reggie — also known as Lil Rodney Son — reacted to a TikTok clip of DDG speaking on people “faking” support for his music. DDG, who felt Reggie was being disingenuous, pointed out that Reggie had previously complimented his older album but was now switching up with criticism. Addressing it directly on his own livestream, DDG told Reggie to “stop faking” and urged him to watch full videos before speaking on him.
“You just listened to my old album and said it was hard, bro. Like, stop faking,” DDG said during the livestream clip. “You need to react to full clips before you get on here speaking on me, because these ni**as clip it,” he added, suggesting that his words about “fake” supporters may have gotten misconstrued with social media’s clip-farming tactics.

Reggie’s Response
Image Credit: Instagram/girlhefunny1x screenshot Reggie clapped back by clarifying that he never claimed to have loved the entire album, saying he only liked “a song or two.” He accused DDG of exaggerating and added that the rapper seemed too concerned with a “relationship” issue that had nothing to do with him. Reggie said he wouldn’t publicly comment on DDG’s personal life if the roles were reversed, but admitted he added a little extra “seasoning” for entertainment value.
“I never listened to his album and said it was hard,” he said. “I said you got a song or two on that that may be something. I’m not going to lie, I never said that. He’s definitely capping.” Reggie also took offense and questioned why DDG was even concerned about his love life in the first place, saying, “You’re a grown man, bro. Like, why are you even worried about another man’s relationship?” Turning it up a notch, he admitted that he didn’t need to call DDG’s music trash — but he did it anyway, chalking it up to “seasoning” for his stream.
“As a grown man, though, sometimes you got to mind your business. I’m not going to lie,” he added.

He questioned DDG’s priorities, implying he was too busy entertaining online drama to focus on fatherhood. Reggie then added a pointed remark suggesting that DDG would have to “live with this sh*t for the rest of your life,” which many interpreted as a dig at his parenting or physical abuse allegations against him.
“DDG, you’re an older guy in this game. You know what saying? I’m a younger ni**a. I still got time, I still got time, my ni**a,” Reggie said. “Ain’t no telling what I’m be doing by time I’m your age, ni**a. Hopefully, I’m not on Twitch beefing with ni**as. You know what? I’m trying to take care of my family and sh*t, but I don’t know, them ni**a keep talking about how I don’t have a dad. Ni**a, where your son at ni**a? Ni**a, where your son at?”
“You worried about me, gang. I ain’t gonna lie, bro, you gotta live with this sh*t for the rest of your life. Why? You gotta live with this with the rest of your life. You try to get on stream and act like you ain’t see that sh*t,” he added. That’s why I’m scared to have a baby. Your baby mom is with you for life, like that’s your family. You can say whatever you want about me, gang, you gotta live with this for the rest of your life. These are decisions that you made, bro, that you gotta live with for the rest of your life, gang.”

Reggie ended by emphasizing that, above all, he was focused on protecting his peace and mental well-being.
“He had my dad as his home screen and sh*t. Right? I’m yet again going to state it again – I’m personally not going to diss his dead people because I know that that sh*t is just unnecessary,” Reggie stated in a live video. “These ni***s don’t got me mad enough for me to even want to do that.”
