DDG has addressed Soulja Boy demanding to square off against him in a boxing match, saying that the iconic rappper "can't fight." Soula has been calling out DDG in response to Halle Bailey getting a restraining order against him with allegations of physical abuse.
“You know how to fight, right? You a boxer, right? Let’s get in the f*cking ring b*tch ass n***a,” Soulja said on Instagram Live, according to AllHipHop. He then asked Adin Ross to help set it up. “I’ll beat your b*tch ass,” he added. “Putting your hands on the Little Mermaid, n***a... F*ck you and your whole family.”
DDG clapped back on his own stream. “Soulja Boy on another heroin rant. We gotta get that man clean. That heroin is f*cking him up," he said. “Soulja Boy you can’t fight, so stop tryna act like you wanna fight me, n***a. You just talking sh*t. You was supposed to fight Chris Brown 5 years ago, n***a still ain’t do it.”
DDG has been feuding with Soulja since Halle Bailey first came forward with her allegations. After the "Crank Dat" rapper took Bailey's side, he said on social media: “Soulja Boy is poor. He’s poor. Ain’t cranked that since we was yay high, buddy,” he said. “I will buy you. Couldn’t get next to me. We know you got crackhead teeth under them veneers. It’s just certain n****s that was like saying sh*t just to like feed off of your misfortune. Especially n***** like that. You don’t want to go to war with me on this internet.”
Halle Bailey was granted a restraining order against, DDG, earlier this month. She referenced disturbing allegations of abuse in her request filing. “Throughout our relationship. Daryl has been and continues to be physically, verbally, emotionally, and financially abusive towards me. I am seeking orders to protect myself and our son Halo from his ongoing abuse," she wrote as obtained by CNN.
She made note of one recent incident in which the two allegedly got into a dispute about their visitation schedule. “The next thing I knew, things got physical between us,” Bailey alleged. “We fought each other, wrestling and tussling. At one point, Darryl was pulling my hair. He then slammed my face on the steering wheel, causing my tooth to get chipped. I then stopped fighting back as I was in a lot of pain.” She included photos of the alleged injuries. DDG has denied the allegations.
Fontaines D.C. have shared the complete tracklist for their eagerly awaited fifth studio album, Dopamine Chamber, which arrives on 16 October 2026 through XL Recordings. Produced by James Ford, the 11 song project will feature the group’s first guest collaboration, with global pop star ROSALÍA appearing on ‘Where Is Gone?’.
The new record follows their UK platinum certified 2024 album Romance and marks a clear move beyond the guitar focused sound heard throughout much of the Irish five piece’s previous work. Instead, the band explores a more alluring musical direction shaped by electronic elements. Created in London, the English countryside, and Palermo, the album delves into pleasure, danger, and what it means to be human in the modern world. Frontman Grian Chatten called the project a conceptual experiment that draws listeners into an atmosphere designed to alter their mood.
Lead single ‘Marianne’ offers the first taste of the album, which contains 11 original tracks: ‘Six Shot Morning’, ‘Marianne’, ‘Mimesis’, ‘Happy For You’, ‘Demolition’, ‘Tongue’, ‘One Man’, ‘Where Is Gone?’ featuring ROSALÍA, ‘You Miss Me’, ‘Japan’, and ‘Intimate’. Dopamine Chamber will be released on standard and deluxe vinyl, CD, cassette, and all major digital platforms.
News of the album arrives while the Dublin band continues an extensive schedule of shows around the world. After completing sold out arena tours throughout North America, Europe, and the UK in late 2026, including major appearances at London’s O2 Arena and Manchester’s AO Arena, Fontaines D.C. will begin performing at outdoor stadiums during summer 2027.
Their 2027 summer schedule includes two headline concerts at Ireland’s Slane Castle on 26 and 27 June. The band will then play major shows at Cardiff’s Blackweir Fields, Newcastle’s St James’ Park, Manchester’s Heaton Park, Glasgow Green, and London Stadium, where they will headline on 9 July.
Dopamine Chamber can now be preordered, while ‘Marianne’ is available to hear on all leading streaming platforms.
