Veteran hip-hop producer Statik Selektah is upset about DDG claiming he was the first person to livestream the making of an album in regards to his recent project Blame the Chat, which he put together live on Twitch.
The New England beatmaker took to Instagram to post a clip of DDG making the claim to TMZ and attached a caption laying out his own receipts.
“This is some bullsh–,” Statik wrote. “We got receipts. 2010 me and Termanology made an EP live on livestream. Action Bronson first feature to hit the blogs. 2010 me and Freeway did the same. Young Mac Miller in the building. 2011 me and Freddie Gibbs did the same. Rip Fred the Godson was there amongst many others. 2019 me & Bun B do the first Trillstatik with Fat Joe, Method Man, Westside Gunn, Millyz, Nems, Benny [the Butcher], Boldy James etc. etc. We’ve done three more since. Stop it with the [cap].”
He added: “The fans know. The industry does too. DDG, no ideas original.”
A few days ago, TMZ caught up with streamer and rapper DDG and talked about his new album.
“We changing the music industry forever,” he said. “First to ever make an album live on Twitch. Revolutionary. The music industry getting boring, I had to spice it up. I don’t really like how mysterious the music industry is, for real. I feel like it’s better when artists connect closer with the fans so they can feel like they’re more of a part of the process rather than just being surprised.”
Last week, DDG was on his stream when he offered fellow streamer IShowSpeed $2 million to make a cameo in one of the music videos he had planned for the project.
