We prove a DDVV inequality for submanifolds of warped products of the form $I\times _{a}\mathbb{M}^{n}(c)$ , where $I$ is an interval and $\mathbb{M}^{n}(c)$ is a real space form of curvature $c$ . As an application, we give a rigidity result for submanifolds of $\mathbb{R}\times _{e^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}t}}\mathbb{H}^{n}(c)$ .
