Diddy Kong does not appear to be related to Donkey Kong since they are different species, but he has been called Donkey Kong's nephew on occasion, such as in the English version of ''Super Smash Bros.''<ref>[https://www.themushroomkingdom.net/images/ssb_dk.png]</ref> and once on Rare's website;<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20020819225350/www.rareware.com/the_site/rare_games/new_games_digest/dk64_digest/dk64_cl_copy.html</ref> however, the Japanese version of ''Super Smash Bros.'' does not call him DK's nephew,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X08MC9rLiDA&t=2m45s</ref> [[Leigh Loveday]] himself uses uncertain language,<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20020423180638/http://www.rareware.com/the_site/talk_to_us/scribes/sep16_99/sep16_99.html</ref> and the ''Donkey Kong 64'' instruction booklet considers him "Donkey's little nephew wannabe(the "wannabe" refers to Diddy wanting to be ''like'' DK).

Cranky Kong considers himself to be a "grandpappy" of sorts to Diddy Kong (as well as Dixie Kong), and while he complains about Diddy Kong receiving a starring role in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' while he was stuck in a gloomy shed, he also calls him a true [[Cranky's Video Game Heroes|video game hero]] and comments that he must take after himself and Donkey Kong.
