The Los Angeles wildfires are currently impacting many people, especially those who lack the resources to respond or mitigate the fires due to the systemic factors this natural disaster has tragically highlighted. However, the more fortunate, like the many celebrities who live there, are using their platforms to share their perspectives, promote advocacy, lend a helping hand to those in need, and address fans’ concerns. DDG recently addressed the situation on his stream as fire destroyed his mansion in the city. However, the biggest obstacle in his path is that his property has no fire insurance, so he now has to figure out his next steps.
“I found out today – I don’t know if this is TMI – but I found out today that I didn’t have fire insurance,” DDG told his audience. “So I’m solving all these problems, bro. Because my crib burned down… that’s just a waste of M, bro. So I have to solve all these problems, you know, that I bought for my crib and stuff Get insurance because if I didn’t have fire insurance, I would just have to live with it, so I’m trying to do that.
DDG talks about his lack of insurance amid LA fires
From the way he phrased it, maybe the mansion hadn’t burned down yet, but it didn’t look good. Hopefully DDG can resolve the issue and help others along the way. Elsewhere, other celebrities inside and outside the hip-hop community are sharing various resources for aid and shelter, debating fans overjoyed that their mansions burned down, and spreading awareness about the situation.
Of course, this brings up the aforementioned debate about wealth and influence when it comes to celebrities affected by the Los Angeles wildfires. Some stars’ comments on the matter have caused a lot of controversy, but DDG doesn’t seem keen on the energy. No matter how you look at it, it’s a tough situation to be in, and there shouldn’t be one point of view that completely negates another. Hopefully those who are able to bounce back can help others who are struggling to bounce back.
