DDG, whose real name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., has risen to fame thanks to his YouTube channel, where he gained popularity for his vlogs and comedy sketches.
He also is a musician. His name may ring a bell as he is dating actress and singer Halle Baliey. He comes from a large family who shares his charisma. And they've gotten a lot of attention online too.
Stay tuned! We will reveal an influx of details about DDG’s siblings.
Who are DDG’s siblings?
Darion Breckenridge was DDG’s older half-brother who was tragically killed in 2014. The 21-year-old was found shot in his car with multiple wounds to his neck and chest slumped over the steering wheel of the car back in 2014.
His killers were never found. DDG turned away from the streets and became more creative after his brother was killed.
He explained to Vlad TV: “I've been around selling drugs and guns…when that happened it kind of deterred me away from it even more. When my brother passed away my mom got extra money for the funeral so she asked me if I wanted a camera or a car.”
After choosing a camera DDG shot his first viral video two days later changing the trajectory of his life. Despite his troubled past, Darion turned out to be a positive influence on DDG.
Tawanna Rochelle Adams is DDG’s oldest sister. The 36-year-old lives in Pontiac, Mich.
Tawanna is very vocal in supporting her brother and his success. She is very protective of him and addressed the negative comments DDG received as a result of a brief breakup with Halle.
She shared in a YouTube video: “I wish people would just mind their business because if he was just a regular civilian walking around y'all wouldn't care. The same thing that y'all be going through he can go through. He is a normal person you just see him as a celebrity.”
