Police Investigate Swatting Incident Targeting DDG

DDG

Los Angeles authorities have launched a full-scale investigation following a shocking swatting incident involving rapper and live-streamer DDG this past Sunday. What started as a fun-filled paintball tournament quickly spiraled into a tense standoff after an anonymous 911 call falsely reported that DDG was brandishing a firearm and threatening those around him. According to a statement from the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, the call prompted a heavily armed response, landing officers at the scene while DDG continued his live stream.

Thankfully, the event ended without any physical injuries, but the psychological impact and disruption were significant. DDG’s manager and legal representative, Dimitri Hurt, described the situation as “reckless and malicious,” emphasizing that the call completely misrepresented a peaceful event. “The anonymous caller fabricated a claim that DDG was armed and threatening people, which led to an unnecessary and heavily armed police response to a peaceful paintball live stream event,” Hurt said. He further explained that the incident created panic among attendees and exposed both participants and law enforcement to unnecessary risk.

The swatting incident underscores a growing concern in the world of online streaming and public events. While live streaming can be a fun way for fans to engage with creators like DDG, it also leaves personalities vulnerable to malicious acts, as this incident clearly illustrates. Being confronted by law enforcement under false pretenses can be not only frightening but deeply traumatizing. Despite the chaos, Hurt emphasized relief that no one was physically harmed. However, the emotional toll remains significant. “DDG, who was there simply to enjoy and participate in the event, was deeply shaken by the incident. Having officers respond under the false belief that you are armed is an incredibly distressing and traumatizing experience.

We are grateful that no one was physically harmed, but the emotional toll and the damage to the event’s atmosphere were significant,” he said. Authorities are now determined to trace the source of the fake 911 call, signaling that those who make such dangerous, false reports will be held accountable. As the investigation unfolds, this incident serves as a stark reminder of the real-world consequences of swatting, a criminal prank that can put lives in danger and shatter the sense of safety at public gatherings.

Snoop Dogg Wants To Pay Someone $10,000 A Month To Eat Ice Cream

Snoop Dogg has had a lot of job titles over the years, but “official ice cream taster” wasn’t one of them until now — and he’s hiring someone else to fill it. His company Dr. Bombay just opened applications for the role, and it pays $10,000 a month.

The gig is fully remote and open to anyone on the planet, which Snoop announced himself in a video that’s exactly as laid-back as you’d expect. “I love the paper, but not the paperwork,” he said, explaining that HR firm Deel is handling the logistics while he handles, presumably, the ice cream.

The actual job is less “sit around and eat pints all day” and more part-time cultural scout. Whoever gets it will track flavor and food trends around the world, report back on what people are eating and talking about, and work directly with Dr. Bombay’s in-house flavor lead to help shape what the brand does next. It’s a three-month contractor role, and Snoop’s team says they’re actively looking outside the usual resume pile — creators and non-traditional applicants welcome.

Dr. Bombay itself leans nostalgic, with flavors like Long Beach Fruit Cart, Sticky Caramel Apple Pie, and Peanut Butter Jelly Time already sitting on shelves at Walmart and moving through DoorDash and Instacart. Somewhere out there is one very lucky applicant about to get paid five figures a month to have opinions about ice cream, and honestly, good for them.
