Looks like actress Halle Bailey and her ex-boyfriend, DDG, are far from an amicable post-breakup relationship.
On March 8, 2025, the YouTuber went live on his platform, making shocking claims about the Little Mermaid star and mother of his 15-month-old son, Halo. He accused Halle of keeping their son away from him and preventing him from spending quality time with the child.
Subtly hinting at legal action, DDG addressed why they haven’t pursued formal custody arrangements yet. The influencer explained,
“I don’t want to go to court. It’s going to get extremely messy and it doesn’t have to happen. I think it’s in her best interest to not want to go to court either, where we can just have a clear understanding”.
However, he quickly followed up with a warning, suggesting that if legal action were taken, he was confident in securing more time with Halo than he’s currently requesting. He stated,
“We go to court, the judge is going to give me some time. And when I get the time, I’m gonna do whatever I want with my son”.
DDG Speaks Out On Custody Struggles With Halle Bailey
DDG further opened up about his frustration with the current custody situation with his ex, voicing concerns about being distanced from their son and the potential strain on their father-son bond. Expressing his worries, he shared,
“I just don’t want it to come to the point where he’s like, alright, my pops not around. That’s my main thing. I was more frustrated and annoyed than anything”.
The She Don’t Play singer also admitted that his battle for more time with Halo has been ongoing for quite some time. He confessed,
“I’ve been dealing with this s–t for a long time. I never spoke on it for the simple fact that I don’t like putting y’all in my real life business but I’m like, okay, I don’t know what else to do”.
Five months before this surprising revelation, on October 4, 2024, Halle Bailey and DDG announced their split after two and a half years together.
The latter took to his Instagram Stories to share an emotional statement, emphasizing that their separation was mutual and rooted in respect. He wrote,
“Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways. The decision was not easy, but we believe it’s the best path forward for both of us. I cherish the time we’ve spent together and the love we shared. Despite the changes in our relationship… we are still best friends and adore each other…”
Fans Call Out The Rapper For Publicly Criticizing His Ex
DDG’s decision to air his grievances about Halle online did not sit well with fans, who disapproved of him handling their private matters in public. Many criticized him for putting their personal issues on display instead of resolving them privately.
Some such comments read,
“If Halle was really a bitter baby mama, then there is no chance that going online would make the situation better. Also, stop pushing the narrative!!”
“DONT COME TO THE INTERNET WITH YOUR BUSINESS! That’s stupid, DDG”.
“You rather come to the internet to put a target on Halle back. Go to court”.
“DDG is so immature. The stance of that’s my son, I can see him when I want is ludicrous especially when you don’t have full custody and if it goes to court he will lose”.
As the drama between DDG and Halle Bailey unfolds, fans are left wondering—will the rapper take his fight to court, or will the exes find common ground behind closed doors?
