DDG is the target of a controversy once again, though this time it’s not about his on-again, off-again relationship with singer Halle Bailey, or the subsequent legal proceedings that ensued. No, the Michigan rapper and YouTube personality is having a spotlight turned on him for dumping seafood shells in the ocean. In a video that has now gone viral on The Neighborhood Talk, DDG was spotted on a boat enjoying a seafood boil near what most assume is the Los Angeles shoreline. Shrimp shells stacked up on his plate, and he nonchalantly tossed them into the water.
The exchange, which would likely have gone unnoticed on any other day, soon went viral on social media. As the video began to be shared, others accused Mr. Aim of polluting the ocean. But DDG wasn’t having it. He shot back on all his platforms, irritated that the Internet is once again painting him as a villain. The controversy’s timing is also red meat for the fire. DDG has faced a lot of shade online since going public with his breakup from actress and singer Halle Bailey. It became hideous when abuse allegations emerged that resulted in a case that took him to court, and further divided those who support Armie and those who do not.

The outcry over the dumping of seafood, while one of the more trivial, serves as a reminder that it’s always about the person, not the act. The scrutiny DDG is under is indicative of a larger story, one in which he has played the part of the bad guy for the past few months. Ironically, his trip to Italy to visit his son, Halo, had many fans praying for a more soothing, more meditative DDG era. But the Internet rarely works so tamely, particularly when it comes to celebrities whose reputations have taken a battering. Whether he really did any damage to the environment is debatable. What’s not up for debate is the weight and tumult of life in the public eye. For DDG, throwing shrimp shells into the water is enough to spark a firestorm on the Internet.
