Streamer Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr. or popularly known as DDG has issued an apology to his fellow nominee Ari Miller who is known as ARIatHOME online. Ari won the Best Music Streamer award at the Streamer Awards 2026.
However, during his acceptance speech, a man in a green shirt, holding a camera interrupted his acceptance speech. The man took the mic from Ari and said, “I’m sorry imma let you finish but DDG had the best music of all time…DDG the best music artist of all time.” Ari was seen nodding to the statement and continued his speech. He appreciated and thanked his fellow nominees saying they have kept music “alive on Twitch”. Others nominated in the category included DDG, Welcome2bish and Plaqueboymax.

DDG apologized for fan’s behavior
Following the incident, DDG took to X to issue an apology to Ari. Addressing the latter and denouncing the man he said, “I do not co-sign or approve of what happened during your award bro.” He further added that Ari is “very talented” and “clearly deserved” the award. Concluding his post, DDG said, “My apologies”.
The incident echoes a similar situation which occurred at the 2009 Video Music Awards. Rapper Kanye West had then interrupted singer Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech for Best Female Video by grabbing the mic to endorse Beyonce. The incident sparked a contentious feud between the two.
