DDG has shed light on the hefty price tag attached to featuring him in a song or music video.
Taking to his Instagram Stories on Monday, DDG disclosed that securing a guest appearance from him comes with a price tag of $750,000, while enlisting him for a music video escalates the cost to $1,000,000.

DDG’s name has been making headlines this week following an accidental revelation of his real voice to Sexyy Red. Known for his deep voice reminiscent of Barry White, DDG surprised the St. Louis rapper when his true vocal octave slipped out during their conversation.
Sexyy Red’s response prompted DDG to express his reluctance, stating, “That’s why I don’t do that shit.”
In 2022, DDG addressed his insecurities about his real voice in a vlog, admitting, “I just get real insecure, I don’t like to really, like, expose myself like that. I like to stay low-key and just be who I am. … So I’ve been trying to talk regular.” He further emphasized, “I feel like when I talk regular, it’s like I’m more relatable to y’all.”
, DDG’s current pricing surpasses that of other prominent artists in the industry.
In 2022, reports suggested that a guest verse from Lil Baby commanded $300,000, while Future’s fee stood at $250,000. Similarly, in 2021, a feature from 21 Savage reportedly cost six figures, and a verse from DaBaby was priced at $300,000.
