If you’re here, odds are, you just came across DD Osama’s “break the internet” Instagram post and wondered if he’s that short or if it’s just the angle.
So, how tall is DD Osama?
Many estimates are floating online about his height, but most people agree that he’s under 6’.
How does his stature compare to Lil Durk and the drill rapper Ddot?
Read on to find out the answer to that question and more!
DD Osama: Quick Bio
Let’s cover some basics about DD first!

DD Osama’s Height Estimates
Depending on who you ask, DD Osama is either 5’3” (160 cm), 5’5” (165 cm), or 5’7” (170 cm).
Me, personally? I don’t think he’s 5’7”, and I’ll tell you why in a minute.
But either way, he’s most likely under 6’ (~182.8 cm).
How Does DD Osama’s Height Compare to Fellow Rappers?
While it’s hard to find out exactly how tall DD is, we can still check if he trails behind his friends.
DD Osama vs. Lil Durk
In the Instagram post that started all this debate, DD Osama is posed right next to Lil Durk (actually called Durk Derrick Banks). So, I had to check Lil Durk’s height and use it to gauge DD’s height roughly.
According to Billboard, Durk Banks is 5’7” (170 cm). And if you recheck the photo, you’ll see it clear as day: Durk is taller than DD.
That’s precisely why I don’t buy that David DeShaun is 5’7”.
DD Osama vs. Sugarhill Ddot
Now, back to that same controversy-sparking photo. Sugarhill Ddot (born Darrian Jimenez) also stands next to Lil Durk.
To me, Ddot doesn’t look particularly tall. I think it’s just the shoes and the pose.
Plus, there are reports that Ddot is only 5’1” (~155 cm). If that’s true, he’s shorter than DD Osama and Lil Durk.
That said, I know that some of his fans wholeheartedly disagree with these estimates.
Some people believe Ddot is clearly taller than DD. Others guess that Ddot is 5’6” or 5’7”.
DD Osama vs. Polo G
A little over a month after the “break the internet” photo, fans got a second height-revealing post on DD Osama’s Instagram account.
DD captioned the post: “Break the internet again.” The first photo in the post shows him standing right next to Polo G.
For what it’s worth, Polo G is around 5’9” (175 cm).
So, it’s unsurprising that some fans pointed out the height difference in the comment section. One fan said that they got DD “looking short.”
Is DD Osama’s Height Below Average?
On a CDC chart, the 50th percentile for 17-year-old boys is about 69.1” (175.5 cm). At 18 years, the median height increases a bit to reach 69.3” (176 cm).
Based on these estimates, DD Osama is below the median height. However, DD’s figure is quite slim. So, overall, he looks relatively proportionate.
DD Osama’s Top Music Collabs
Besides Lil Durk and Sugarhill Ddot, DD Osama has collaborated with a lot of artists over the years, including:
- Lil Zay Osama (His real name is Isaiah Jaylaun Dukes, so he’s likely unrelated to DD.)
- Notti Osama (DD’s late brother)
- Coi Leray
- Lil Baby
- Luh Tyler
- Rylo Rodriquez
Final Thoughts
In short? Many estimates and guesses about DD Osama’s height are thrown around these days, and they can’t all be true.
Sure, it’s safe to say he’s shorter than a few artists in his circle. Still, I’d take all the estimates with a grain of salt!
