Southern California’s devastating wildfires have left many residents with nothing but ashes where their homes once stood. Among those affected is rapper and YouTuber DDG (Daryl Dewayne Granberry Jr.), who recently revealed his home is uninsured against fire damage, potentially leading to millions in losses.

During a Twitch livestream on January 9, the 27-year-old shared his distress as flames neared his Los Angeles home. “I found out today—I ain’t got fire insurance,” he said. “If my crib burns down, that’s just Ms wasted.” Amid the chaos, DDG began scrambling to secure insurance while ensuring his safety.

DDG’s rise to fame began after dropping out of Central Michigan University to pursue entertainment. His 2017 breakout hit “Lettuce” and platinum-certified “Moonwalking in Calabasas” solidified his career. Despite his success, this oversight could have catastrophic financial consequences.

The ongoing wildfires, which began January 7, have consumed nearly 40,000 acres, claimed 11 lives, and destroyed hundreds of homes, including those of celebrities like guitarist Larry LaLonde. With containment at under 15%, thousands remain displaced.

DDG’s situation serves as a wake-up call about the importance of preparedness, especially in high-risk areas. As he confronts this challenge, fans rally behind him, underscoring the resilience of communities impacted by these natural disasters.
