“That's my friend” - DDG speaks about current status with India Love amid dating rumors

DDG, a rapper and streamer, has spoken out about rumors surrounding his connection with India Love, a model and influencer. This comes after people started talking when they saw them together in public and interacting on social media. People started to speculate they might be dating when DDG and India Love showed up in Italy together. A livestream from their trip went viral, making many believe they were a couple. But DDG set the record straight in a chat with TMZ on July 28, saying they're just friends.

“Nah, that’s my friend,” he told TMZ. “She does a lot of nice things for me too, so this is just me returning the favor.”

What DDG said matches up with what India Love told Adin Ross back in June. She also referred to DDG as a friend during that conversation. The gossip about a possible romance gained more traction when DDG gave India Love a heart-shaped chain covered in ice during a livestream. This piece of jewelry cost $25,000. After this generous act, India Love started her own livestream. She spoke of DDG calling him a "one-of-a-kind" person. She also expressed how thankful she was for his personality and the role he played in her life.

India Love mentioned that she had talked to DDG's mom, thanking her for bringing up someone who had such a big effect on her. People got more curious about them as they kept hanging out after Streamers University. Kai Cenat hosted this event, where people first noticed them working together a lot. One clip that spread fast showed India dancing on DDG at a party. This made more people think they might be more than just friends.

DDG prioritizes his work while maintaining a friendship with India Love, despite ongoing speculation

Despite the rumors, DDG and India Love keep saying their connection stems from mutual respect and backing. India mentioned in another talk that she appreciates DDG for being a steady and trustworthy person, adding she'll always support him. When they showed up together in Italy, it happened at the same time as other stories came out about DDG's ex-girlfriend, singer Halle Bailey.

She was seen vacationing in Italy with her son and another individual, adding to the public’s curiosity about DDG’s current relationship status. However, DDG made it clear that he is not romantically involved at the moment and is focusing on his career.

“[I’m] focused on the work,” he said.

While fans have speculated about a possible relationship, both parties have been consistent in their messaging. Their statements reflect a shared understanding and confirm that their connection is one of friendship and mutual appreciation rather than romance.
