DDG is trapped in the wild police response in Socal’s paintball industry after some trolls called themselves armed and threatened people with fake emergencies.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department rolled up deeply, and believed that DDG was a threat. It turns out that this is a lie.
When DDG was live, the whole thing fell down – guided him on the camera, just realizing that it was all fake and let him go.
Now, detectives are digging to track who made the fake phone. A spokesman for the sheriff confirmed they are actively studying the case and has submitted reports on the Phony emergency.
DDG’s manager and legal rep, Dimitri Hurt, told TMZ Hip Hop, “The anonymous caller fabricated a claim that DDG was armed and threatening people, which led to an unnecessary and heavily armed police response to a peaceful paintball live stream event. This reckless and malicious act disrupted the tournament, caused unnecessary panic among attendees, and put everyone present — including law enforcement — in harm’s way.”
He added: “DDG was deeply shocked by the incident just to enjoy and attend events. It was an incredibly painful and painful experience to have officials respond with false beliefs and think you are armed.”
Swing is nothing new, but it is becoming more common and dangerous.
In 2025 alone, schools across the country were threatened with forgery, leaving police scrambling to the forefront. It got so bad that lawmakers are scrambling to pass new laws to stop these things.
A playboy, Alan Filion, was beaten in federal prison for four years earlier this year, after 375 fake calls were made in the U.S. between 2022 and 2024, indicating how out of place the trend has become.
Every swing event also raises huge bills. Each response from emergency services costs about $100,000, while school-related swing costs will cost more than $82 million in 2023, and that figure is still climbing in 2025.
DDG’s team said he is working with the investigation and that authorities are doing their best to bring the prank to justice.
“We are grateful that no one was physically harmed, but the emotional damage and damage to the atmosphere of the incident was a lot,” Hurt said.
