DDG said he’d advise his 22-year-old self to remain single as long as possible to focus on himself and his career. He made the comment while speaking with Jay Cinco during an episode of the No Ordinary Podcast, after allegedly announcing that he and Halle Bailey have broken up.
“It’s best for you to be single in these years of your life so you can really grind. Ain’t nobody going nowhere…unless a girl get a new n***a or something…whoever you like in this moment, but get your ducks in a row first and grind and not have no restrictions,” he said, as noted by The Shade Room, before comparing the experience of being in a relationship to a part-time job.

DDG continued: “If I was 22, I would tell myself, ‘Bro, just grind it out and let a relationship happen. But only happen when you feel comfortable within yourself as a man. I feel like you shouldn’t get into a relationship until you feel like a n***a can’t DM your girl and take your girl. Like if you feel like there’s a n***a out there that’s more lit, more stable than you that can take your girl, then you ain’t working hard enough.”
