DDG made headlines by gifting his mother his $3 million L.A. mansion for Christmas after purchasing a new home. In a heartfelt moment captured on video, the entertainer revealed his plans to move out, surprising his mother with the generous gesture. “You [Mom] can have it. Well, you gotta wait ’til I leave,” he joked. Initially confused, his mother was overwhelmed with gratitude, embracing DDG as the rest of the family celebrated.
Social media was quick to applaud DDG’s act of kindness. “The ultimate goal of every man is to put his mother in a big and safe house,” one user commented, while another wrote, “How can y’all hate him?” The emotional moment resonated with fans, with one saying, “I actually teared up watching this.”
This follows DDG’s earlier headline-grabbing gesture of gifting his one-year-old son Halo, with Halle Bailey, a Ferrari for his birthday. Though the gift was symbolic, it sparked debate, with Soulja Boy suggesting a toy car might have been more appropriate. Soulja emphasized the importance of prioritizing long-term investments for children over extravagant displays.
DDG addressed the criticism head-on, responding on social media: “N****s mad cuz they son playin’ hot wheels and mine’s playin’ wit Ferrari’s & M’s. Just work harder, gang.” Halle Bailey has not commented on the Ferrari controversy, but the couple is focused on their music careers, with new albums slated for release in 2024.
The mansion gift and the family moments underline DDG’s commitment to creating memorable experiences for his loved ones while navigating the spotlight’s challenges.
