The project has quickly attracted attention not only for its slick production but also for its timing, coinciding with the artist’s ongoing custody dispute with Halle Bailey and speculation over his ties to influencer India Love.
Are You My Ball? began streaming on Twitch this weekend and will run continuously for a week. The show’s format blends live-stream immediacy with reality TV spectacle, offering fans a front-row seat to auditions, eliminations and behind-the-scenes drama.
Within half an hour of launch, the broadcast reached 60,000 live viewers, doubling initial expectations.
DDG, whose real name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr, said the project is the biggest move of his career, describing months of preparation and nationwide auditions in Atlanta, Houston and Los Angeles.
From those sessions, 25 women were selected to enter the house and compete for his love, a process already marked by dramatic exits and heated rivalries among contestants.
The title phrase “my ball” has also sparked discussion online, with DDG framing it as affectionate slang while critics debate its tone.
The series arrives as DDG and former partner Halle Bailey remain in court over custody of their son Halo. Bailey was granted temporary sole custody earlier this year alongside a restraining order. A judge has since barred both parents from sharing images of Halo on social media.
Meanwhile, fans continue to speculate about DDG’s relationship with India Love. Though he has denied romantic involvement, calling her a close friend, their public appearances and gift exchanges have fuelled ongoing rumours.
