"Bro got so rich he's now out of touch with reality" — Internet reacts to DDG saying 9-5 jobs "should only be used to fund your own business"

On the recent episode of No Ordinary Podcast, aired on Tuesday, October 1, certain comments made by host DDG managed to grab the attention of netizens. At some point in the podcast, the rapper weighed in on the concept of 9-5 jobs. He added:

"I feel like a 9-5 jobs should only be used to fund your own business. Like I don't think nobody should ever get a job & say that I'm gonna be the... best employee of the year. Like nobody should ever think that because if you're ever late too many times, they're gonna get rid of you..."

He continued stating that he would do the same thing to someone working for him in his business. The remark made netizens rush to social media platforms to express their opinions. Here are some popular responses found on X, formerly known as Twitter:

"Bro got so rich he’s now out of touch with reality"

Someone on the internet asked:

"Then what happens when everyone owns their own business."

"Some people talk more than they think," stated another user.

"Good advice but only for someone without a degree," commented a user.

While many disagreed with the rapper's opinions, he had quite a few supporters too. A netizen tweeted:

"I agree with DDG 1000%. 9-5s should only be used to fund your own business because who wants to work a 9-5 everyday for the rest of their lives? Not I."

"Started my business on the side while working 9-5. Best decision ever," added a tweet.

"This is true though, everyone in the replies just broke," declared another user.
