DDG said he advised his 22-year-old self to stay single as long as possible to focus on himself and his career. He made the comments while speaking to Jay Cinco on an episode of the No Ordinary Podcast, allegedly after announcing that he and Halle Bailey had split.
“It’s better to stay single during these years of your life so you can really grind it out. Ain’t nobody gonna accomplish anything…unless a girl gets a new n***a or something… …Whoever you like at the moment, but get your ducks in a row and grind it out, there are no limits to what’s said before.

DDG continued: “If I were 22 years old, I would tell myself, ‘Bro, hang in there and let a relationship happen. But it only happens when you feel comfortable as a man. I don’t feel like you should start a relationship unless You feel like you can’t privately chat with your girl and take your girl away, just like if you feel like there’s someone out there who’s brighter and more stable than you who can take your girl away, you’re not trying hard enough.
