DDG deceived fans into believing Halle Bailey was pregnant on April Fool’s Day, but the platinum-certified artist isn’t playing around when it comes to Maybe It’s Me…, his forthcoming album and follow-up to last year’s It’s Not Me It’s You.

“I don’t know, Doc. I just feel like people really be hatin’ on me for no reason, and they don’t really know what be going on. They just be going off of what they see on the internet,” DDG said in his newly dropped official trailer for Maybe It’s Me… while laying on what appears to be a therapist’s coach. “But if people knew what was really going on, like, I wouldn’t even be going through this mentally.”

DDG references “a little screenshot on Twitter scandal” that started his struggle, presumably the DMs exposed his ex-partner Rubi Rose, which has “been going on for, like, five, six months now.” The camera cuts to a young Woo Wop holding a notepad and asking DDG why he decided to DM his ex. DDG said he “was just being petty,” which directly nods toward his February single, “Way Too Petty.”

Woo Wop encourages DDG to “be the bigger person” because he’s “not in the same position as before.”

DDG is about to attract even more attention with the release of Maybe It’s Me…, and below is everything to know about the album so far.

Singles

DDG released the sizzling single “This Summer” in early April, but it was quickly overshadowed by the sticky, self-aggrandizing “I’m Geekin.” DDG remixed “I’m Geekin” with Luh Tyler in May and again with BIA and NLE Choppa in June. Most recently, DDG dropped “Trynna Link” last week.

Tour

As of this writing, DDG had no announced plans for a subsequent tour.

Fans Speculate if Burna Boy Dissed BIA on New Single “Mera Na”

It looks like beef is stirring up between BIA and Burna Boy.  In case you missed it, a few years ago, BIA spoke with Nicki Minaj on Live, stating she did not know what WizKid, Davido, or Burna Boy looked like.  The Grammy-winning artist did not forget that.

He just had a verse on the song “Mera Na,” in which his fans assume a few lines are for the “Whole Lotta Money” rapper.  At the end of his verse, Burna Boy allegedly addresses BIA.

“Heard a stupid ho said she don’t know my face/
Got to find out she’d been all in my DMs/
Haan, haan, haan, haan, haan/
Told my ex, “It’s over now”, haan/
I’m worldwide, I’m global now, haan”

The song was just released this past Friday, and Nigerians took to Twitter to spread the speculation.  And, BIA got word of this and took to Twitter as well.

An international feud seems to be brewing.  Actually, “Mera Na” has seen instant success.  It has been viewed over 14 million times on YouTube in 24 hours, with millions of comments and likes.  Sidhu Moose Wala was an Indian rapper who was killed in May of 2022.  “Mera Na” is his third posthumous single, and he was able to fulfill one of his wishes.  Sidhu always wanted to make music with Burna Boy, and now they have a hit!

BIA Delivered A Scorching Performance Of Her New Song, ’16’ At Rolling Loud California

Hot off the release of her new single, “16,” BIA took to the Rolling Loud stage in California today (March 4) to perform it live for the first time.

Over a blazing beat, BIA recalls leaving home when she was younger, on a mission to pursue her dreams.

“Take me back to when I lost my job, I told ’em, ‘F*ck you’ / I came from a place where there’s nobody to look up to / We weren’t broke together, tell me how the f*ck I trust you? / I left mama house, b*tch, I ain’t have nowhere to run to,” she raps on the song’s chorus.

During her performance, she maintained an energy of perseverance throughout, remembering everything that she’s been through has led her here.

At the moment, BIA is hard at work on her upcoming album. In an interview with Variety last year, she noted how Epic Records has been instrumental in helping her manifest her dreams.

“They’re super hands-on with me, even down to my product managers and digital team,” she said. “You gotta really know an artist if you’re trying to market them. They know me and really allow me to be my best, most authentic self.”

You can see a clip of the performance of “16” above.
