- So, let’s talk about Diggy Simmons. Remember when he first hit the scene as this young rapper with some serious promise? Yeah, it seemed like he was on the path to following in the footsteps of hip-hop royalty. But here’s the thing-after getting off to a pretty strong start, Diggy kind of just… disappeared from the rap game. What went down? Well, in this video, we’re breaking it all down. We’ll take you through Diggy’s journey, from being the little kid on "Run's House," to dropping mixtapes, signing with a major label, and eventually shifting gears into acting on "Grown-ish." Stick around, and we’ll get into the real reasons behind why Diggy stepped away from music and what he’s been up to since then.

So much potential.
Chief keef came out and made it harder for teen rappers that weren’t cursing in their music once he came out lil twist diggy lil chucky etc had a harder time ppl forget chief was 16
Good point
Chief keep didn’t make it harder for them because they geared towards totally different audiences
@@louisianabiggdogg1154 True, but what that means is he had more exposure than them. Teens would much rather listen more to the likes of Chief Keef than the likes of those named. I witnessed it in real time in hs.
Its crazy im in my 40s and i still listen to Diggy
Same here
Lmfao
Me too! And what about it, cause he lit 🙌🏽
Diggy has the right lineage, lyrics and looks but it still wasn’t enough.🤷🏾♀️
Cause a come up story is Sells better In black culture.
A prime example of why you should never fight above your weight class. Diggy was way out of his league.
@@RandomBlackGamer I feel you on that dog big dogg I agree and you have a dope channel keep up the good work playa
I admire the courage though! Diggy was still hella young
I don't think he had the hunger... You can have the talent.. The connections... But if it ain't in you.. It ain't in you... I think he felt it would be easier being that he literally grew up hip-hop but he found out it takes more than having a famous dad and connections....
Yeah maybe he just didn’t have the passion
Yeah it's not like he had to struggle to get his name in the game. Look at Romeo and Jaden Smith both come from famous families and what can they rap about not their struggles cause they were born with a silver spoon in their mouths.
It’s interesting cause I was a young fan at the time, following him on all his socials and keeping up with his releases and appearances. He definitely seemed passionate at the time, but there were certain factors stacked against him.
"like fo real...i taught my brother how to rap n all that ya feel me?"
-Jojo 'Trashcan' Simmons 🗑️
The irony of Ali dropping a video on Diggy the same day Stunted Growth does…
I know right I noticed that werid lol
I legit came here to SAY THIS 🤔🤔🤔
Bro 😭😭😭
@@madstaticmke414 They do this alot, I suspect they're the same person or know each other closer than we know
@@AnimeProfilePicture spot on
Tht copy and paste record was dam enjoyable
This The Comment I Was Looking For, Cause "Copy, Paste" Was My Shit 😂
I remember listening to ‘Oh yeah’ by Diggy every morning my freshman year of high school just to get my mind right for the day.
If he drops again as an adult with more of a sound like TI's son domani then he'll have a shot
J Cole was actually talking about Venessa Simmons the older sister.
So basically J Cole didn't take him seriously 😂😂😂
I still remember when people was talking down on JoJo, saying his brother Diggy was a better rapper😂
He was 😂. No cap, Diggy had bops. I still listen to that song he did with Jeremih
No shade, but he is. Idc what fake beef he got into. He made genuinely great music.
To correct the video it wasn't Angela it was Vanessa they went to St. Johns at the same time.
Yeah it was Vanessa. He said it in his raps “What up Vanessa, I loved you that one semester”
Correct
The end had me in tears! I missed his entire mini beef with J Cole. His bars weren't bad. But it was unintentionally funny to see how serious he was. But all respect for defending his fam, especially against one of the best ever.
I liked his debut album… it wasn’t bad at all. I actually went to Best Buy and bought it … those were the days
Why it seems like Drake took diggy style n gestures? Am I reaching so far at the sky??🤔🧐
Vice versa bro
@@Boogiesince ....It's Crazy Cuz I Was Watching,And All I See! Was Early Drake Bro, I Thought I Was Bugging 😅
This is one helluva reach lol
@@militantacecolleti5208 around that time, everyone was moving like that
Nah bruh it was the other way around. Diggy basically took the light skinned swagger of Drake and the lyricism of Lupe Fiasco lol.
OHH YEAH is still on rotation till this day...
I’m Glad Diggy Went Another Route. No Diddy Party 🎉 For This Young. Diggy Wasn’t Going To Sell His Soul. Plus His Mother Is No Joke As Far As. Dis Cerning. Devils
I think he was a good rapper
Hey Ali, are you aware stunned Growth music dropped a Diggy video at the same time?
Leave Lil Twist alone 😂🤣. He tried his best!
How did Lil Twist get his opportunity?
Lil wayne
Lil Wayne,Young Money Cash Money
I assumed he realized he was already wealthy and didn’t need to do music lol
He could’ve just did it for fun but maybe he didn’t have the passion
@@George_bonnaire yeah I know, but that’s not what “I assumed”
He was super talented crazy he didn’t make it .
Not Trevor Jackson 😂😂😂
Don’t sleep on Trevor. But that Water cover did make him look silly smh 😂
I respect Diggy for stepping away. Learning the shit we now know about the predators in the industry, I don’t blame him. And anybody trying to beef with Diggy is a bully and a pussy. 💯 That lil dude didn’t want to do nothing but make his own music.
It’s unfortunate what happened to diggy because he could actually rap . It was a time when people was calling him young Cole . Cordae took his place
He never survived after being dissed by Yung God 🤣
Or maybe he was offered to sell his soul but he chose not to. That’s why he’s where he’s at cos you know the industry
Just cause daddy OWNS a record label DOESN'T mean you have talent 🖕🏽😈
Thinking back on 2011! I gotta ask WHT Lil B & YC (And no I dont mean YG)?!!
lil b was on lyrical lemonade album and fest just this year he still in the game. I’d love to hear him attempt to make a whole video on yc tho
Yc couldn't write, it's known that Racks was written by future and he couldn't follow up because future wasn't willing to keep writing for him
@@tyreecemcdonald5052 I think tf could write he had previous music with block ent before future got involved the things is he couldn’t write hits. Honestly it was best for future that if didn’t continue because he would have just ran with his style
King lil G 🫡
I remember him
I think it's ultimately because people view him as corny. Run's House ruined his chances of being taken serious. People still see him as the little boy on the show.
He was basically never cut out for the music industry Just because you come from a family of artists doesn't make you famous
He was specifically cut out for me, that’s all… I love him anyway; rap star or, whatever he chooses!!♥️
@@IamPerfectTeneeeh
He was famous tho
I honestly didn't know Who He was When I saw the title.
5:54 - 6:16 Hilarious
Jcole grew up fast he dissed him on there too
I remember that little beef I was in high school when all these new rappers were popping that was a cool time to young Mac Miller J.cole YG and the rest trying to come up.🤔Diggy tried but naw stick to acting the music lane he ain't got it.
You are so damn cap. LOG OFF NOW!
He's pretty good actor on Grown-ish.
Lol how you feel about lil twist is how i feel about westside gunn
Same
The twist hate is wild... I've heard you praise rappers who are far worst than dude!
name one hot lil twist song
@@AliTalksMusic
Street Kontrol...
Diggy had talent but I think everything was moving to fast for him. Plus he was trying to sound too much like Drake.
His better than his brother
Bro a good guy corey gunz variant 😅
Jojo Simmons, that ninja trash😂😂😂😂😂😂
facial identification is key...
Except for lil twist 😂😂😂
You better "Copy and Paste Me" 🎶🎵😅
Aww man no one has caught this 😢😅
He wanted to be drake so bad
Jojo so cringe 😅
