DDG was involved in an unusual incident recently when he was asked for pictures by a security guard immediately after being asked to leave the store. The incident took place when he was out shopping for groceries with Karrahbooo at Target, which left the YouTuber visibly confused and at a loss for words. The irony of the situation was not lost on social media users who analyzed the clip of the interaction from every angle.

While many questioned the security guard's abrupt change of stance, others poked fun at the absurdity of the situation as the guard became an unwitting viral figure on social media:

"Bro had the guts to ask for a pic after kicking them out", joked one fan (via X).
"Security guard kicked him out and then asked for a picture? Sounds like someone was trying to get a clout boost. Embarrassing", opined another (via X).

One fan empathized with the guard by saying:

"What’s confusing…? He was just doing his job. He doesn’t make the rules. Take a picture with the guy" (via X).
"Man was just doing his job but is still a fan at the end of the day", wrote another fan (via X).

The unexpected change in dynamics raised the eyebrows of fans online and generated plenty of discussions regarding the unusual incident. More reactions followed thereafter, as fans questioned the timing of the request put in by the Target security guard:

"He the pure definition of wanting your cake and eating it too", joked one fan (via X).
"I’m not mad at either of them I wouldn’t buy anything or give a picture but the security guard didn’t make the call or have the authority he has to pay to send them donations somehow", added another (via X).
"He’s just doing his job, but still a fan, I’m not about to get fired, unless u hiring me ni**a", another fan chimed in (via X).

Another fan praised DDG for maintaining his composure during the episode:

"This is too funny, Security guard couldn’t resist the star power DDG, you’re winning hearts everywhere" (via X).

The aftermath of DDG's Target incident

The incident unfolded when swayed by Target being a one-stop destination, DDG went out shopping with Karrahbooo. However, midway through their shopping spree, they were asked to leave the store by the security guard. While the reason for DDG being kicked out of Target remains unknown, the YouTuber could be seen visibly frustrated in the clip that is now doing the rounds on social media.

Being asked for a picture after getting kicked out only added to his exasperation. He had to leave his half-filled basket of groceries at Target and shop somewhere else. The guard was also left stranded in the process, as both DDG and Karrahbooo stormed off the store. The incident has now sparked debates on social media about the timing of the guard's request and the celebrities' hold over cultural capital, which ultimately proves to be the great leveller
