Halle Bailey Is Sipping Wine And “Blasting JT” Amid DDG Drama

December 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It looks like Halle Bailey is trying to drown out the noise with some adult beverages and ratchet hip-hop. If you have not been keeping with the singer and actress’ relationship with DDG, let us fill you in. A couple of months ago, the rapper and The Little Mermaid lead called it quits not too after the birth of their baby, Halo. Since their breakup there have been some signs of healthy co-parenting, but also some lowlights as well. For the most part, the YouTuber has been the one responsible for pretty much all of the drama. It’s why some feel that Halle Bailey is better off without him due to his content-creating lifestyle.

Those folks’ voices are amplified even more so right now thanks to DDG inadvertently thrusting himself into the fire (depending on who you ask). He made an appearance on plaqueboymax’s recent stream and was asked who his favorite ex was. He said someone whose “name starts with a K” instead of Halle, although he did attempt to clarify prior that he wasn’t including family. DDG was indirectly referring to the mother of his child by saying that, but outlets clipped the answer only.

That led to him calling out The Shade Room (who covered the story) as well as a legion of his fans. “HALLE IS NOT MY EX, SHE IS MY FAMILY, I EXCLUDED HER. I DONT GIVE A 2 F*CKS ABOUT THAT OTHER WOMAN, IM JUST PLAYING THE GAME. THIS IS OUT OF CONTEXT!” he wrote in the publication’s IG comment section.

Despite the explanation, Halle Bailey and her fans are trying to quell the talk and speculation. The Shade Room reposted a picture of the younger Bailey sister in a black, lingerie-style night gown. Fans are loving the sultrier mirror selfie, writing, “She said Halo’s asleep but Mommy’s up ” Another adds, “She has an alter ego & I love it LOL.” Bailey captioned the post with a pretty obvious indirect reply to what’s been going on lately: “ drank some wine & blasting JT.”

DDG Drops Title Track From His ‘Handling Business’ EP Feat. Tory Lanez, Tells About Regret On Night Of Megan Shooting

December 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DDG has released a four-track EP, HANDLING BUSINESS, triumphantly planting his flag in a banner year. The new drop includes the previously released buzzing Real Boston Richey collaboration, “WHAT U BAD FOR,” alongside three brand new tracks, including “HANDLING BUSINESS” with Tory Lanez and produced by 9x Grammy nominee OG Parker.

Anticipation for HANDLING BUSINESS has been highly since DDG first teased the title track with the aptly titled “Handling Business Freestyle,” which he shared on a stream earlier this month to the tune of over 4 million viewers. The music’s reception—which was amplified by a recent “open verse” challenge on TikTok—prompted a music video featuring just the freestyle. The OG Parker-produced song is rounded out on the new 4-track with a guest spot from Tory Lanez.

HANDLING BUSINESS is rounded out by the rowdy energy of the aptly titled “HANDS IN THE AIR,” and the romantic serenade, “REASON.”

DDG’s 2024 was one to remember, from the expansion of his plaque collection—2023’s “I’m Geekin” was certified RIAA Gold earlier this year—to a hot streak of summer and fall releases that captivated his audience and stoked the coals of his momentum.

Following the success of hyped summer releases, like “copy my drip” and the G Herbo-assisted “Nosey,” DDG began teasing HANDLING BUSINESS with the release of “WHAT U BAD FOR,” which had already taken TikTok by storm prior to its release, thanks to DDG’s shrewd promo collaborations with WNBA superstar Angel Reese and A-list influencer Brooklyn Queen.

As 2025 looms and DDG’s momentum grows, HANDLING BUSINESS offers up a captivating pit stop on his journey to the top.

HANDLING BUSINESS Tracklisting:

1. “HANDLING BUSINESS” (with Tory Lanez)

2. “HANDS IN THE AIR”

3. “REASON”

4. “WHAT U BAD FOR” (feat. Real Boston Richey)

DDG Recruits Tory Lanez & Real Boston Richey For His “Handling Business” EP

December 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

This weekend has been another eventful one for DDG. Not everything has been peachy keen, though. The Michigan rapper and YouTuber has been tied up in some more controversy surrounding Halle Bailey, in part anyway. He appeared on plaqueboymax’s livestream recently, and during their link-up, he was asked who his favorite ex-girlfriend was. They were doing a Q&A segment called “Dry Ones” where if you didn’t answer your question, you would have to eat a biscuit. He decided to play along and say his best ex “besides family,” meaning Halle Bailey, was a girl whose name started with a “K.” However, only the latter part of his answer got clipped by gossip outlets and it led him to call them out for creating a false narrative.

So, yes, it’s been another bump in the road for DDG, but he’s looking to move past it all with some new music. This time around, he’s here with HANDLING BUSINESS, a new four-track ep which includes a past release with Real Boston Richey, “WHAT U BAD FOR.” It also contains the title track, featuring a fresh verse recorded by Tory Lanez from his prison cell. It’s been the cut that’s been the most talked about for that reason, but also because some of his bars on his fiery and candid verse. If you want a more in-depth breakdown of it, check out this link, and this one. Additionally, there’s two moodier solo cuts “HANDS IN THE AIR” and “REASON.” Hit up the streaming embeds below to see what DDG is putting down.

DDG Calls Out Gossip Blogs As Recent Comments About Halle Bailey Were Chopped Out Of Context

December 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DDG is all sorts of enraged today following a recent collaboration with streamer, plaqueboymax. The rapper and fellow content creator was on his platform, and he participated in a segment similar to “Hot Ones” called “Dry Ones.” It’s also a Q&A and if you decide to not answer the question posed to you, the person has to eat a Popeyes biscuit. At around the 21-minute mark of the YouTube clip below it becomes plaqueboymax’s turn to ask DDG a singeing question. After some deliberating, he decides to ask him who his favorite ex was that he actually dated. Immediately, the Michigan native was already imagining the “TikTok clip” coming.

But he played along anyway and said that it was someone whose name “starts with a K.” He had said that it’s been about five years since they last spoke. However, he did admit that they “had a good run.” DDG, being in the public eye for a while, read the situation perfectly, because The Shade Room clipped his answer and reshared it on social media. But this has since led to a lot of angry reactions from fans who saw the full stream, and DDG himself.

What the clip from the outlet doesn’t show that the YouTube one does is what he says prior to his answer. “‘Cause we ain’t talkin’ about family.” Plaqueboymax then wanted to clarify, “So favorite ex besides… you know.” Of course, they are referring to one Halle Bailey, whom DDG split up from earlier this year. Many fans pointed out this fact in the comments section of The Shade Room‘s repost. “The SHADEroom purposely cut out the besides Halle part. Yal really are a BIG part of the problem ” one user writes.

“Shade room intentionally left off the Halle part bro they really be working overtime to promote drama ” another adds. DDG also went off on the media outlet for doing so. “HALLE IS NOT MY EX, SHE IS MY FAMILY, I EXCLUDED HER. I DONT GIVE A 2 F*CKS ABOUT THAT OTHER WOMAN, IM JUST PLAYING THE GAME. THIS IS OUT OF CONTEXT!” Based on the all-caps writing and language used, you can tell he’s visibly upset with how this was handled. In hindsight, he might have been better off just eating another biscuit and calling it a day. On the other hand, he did want to play along and provide content for plaqueboymax, so he was really in a sticky situation from the jump.

DDG Previews New Song With Tory Lanez Verse Recorded In Prison

December 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DDG is famous for multiple reasons. He broke out as a YouTuber and social media personality. His profile went through the roof when he started dating singer Halle Bailey. Now, however, DDG is dedicated to his music career. The celebrity has abandoned his YouTube career to make a focused push at being a rapper following his split from Bailey. He recently dropped the single “Trickin.” It’s the teaser for his new single, however, that has fans intrigued. DDG seemingly linked up with Tory Lanez, despite the latter currently serving a decade behind bars. The song is rumored to drop December 13.

DDG has yet to release song, or its title. He did, however, preview a snippet of it on social media. The rapper can be seen bopping along in the studio while playing the song on his phone. He then holds up the phone to a microphone. Tory Lanez’s verse can be heard blaring through the phone speakers. Tory seemingly recorded his verse via telephone while locked up. It’s the first time fans have gotten to hear a Lanez verse since the rapper’s recording equipment was seized by prison guards in September. Lanez had rolled out an ongoing series called Prison Tapes, but the series was shut down unceremoniously.

“I was shut down because the higher ups figured out what I was really doing with The Prison Tapes,” the rapper claimed via Instagram. “And how many inmates were being helped in a life-changing way because of them.” DDG’s decision to link up with Tory Lanez has surprised many, given the former’s public image as a family man and a clean cut artist. That said, the rapper has never been afraid of delving into complex topics or addressing controversial aspects of his life. On “WHAT U BAD FOR,” DDG referenced his highly publicized split from Halle Bailey.

DDG flexed his newfound single status, but admitted that he will always have love for Bailey. “Thing about Halo mommy, you know that’s my baby forever,” he rapped. “Y’all know that I love that—.” The word “H*e” gets replaced with the word “go.” DDG has yet to confirm a title or release date for his new album. That said, fans have gotten to hear multiple singles. It’s safe to assume that the Tory Lanez collab will make the final tracklist.

Halle Bailey & DDG’s Friendly Interaction Sparks Rekindling Rumors

November 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DDG has not been hiding his true emotions about Halle Bailey from anyone. Ever since their stunning break up back in early October, he’s continuously made it clear that he misses the actress, singer, and mother of his child, dearly. Days after their split, the Michigan rapper and content creator stated explicitly, “I am not dating anyone. I don’t have a potential girlfriend, nor do I even think about that… [and] don’t plan on getting into another [relationship] at all… I am not finna get a new girlfriend.” Then, on his most recent single, “WHAT U BAD FOR” featuring Real Boston Richey, he double down on staying single.

“Thing about Halo mommy, you know that’s my baby forever / Y’all know that I love that—.” People following this relationship closely have been pretty happy for Halle Bailey moving on from him. However, their month apart could be over thanks to a recent clip circling social media. Live Bitez reshared a video of them looking pretty cute and friendly together and it’s got some thinking they either got back together or never broke up to begin with.

In the video, DDG is showing off some new clothing samples that look to be dropping at some point. While “modeling” the apparel off in front of Halle, she’s extremely complimentary and friendly throughout the interaction. “Oh my God it’s so cute,” she says to DDG. He cracks a smile, and you can tell that things seem to be pretty good between them despite all of the drama.

The internet picked up on it too, and as we said, they are buying that they could be dating again. “They have a child together so it’s not far fetched,” one IG user believes. “They have a child together and they clearly still love each other,” another adds. However, others aren’t as sold, labeling it as just good co-parenting. “They have a kid together guys, they are probably really good friends and want to cultivate a healthy co-parenting relationship and environment for halo,” one surmises. Regardless, it’s good to see Halle and DDG acting this way, especially in front of their baby boy.

DDG & Real Boston Richey Hype Their Ladies Up On “What U Bad For”

November 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

If you have been keeping an eye on DDG’s movement online lately, a lot of it has been related to Halle Bailey. The Michigan native has clearly not been okay since the breakup last month, even saying so himself. On a recent Q&A livestream, the rapper and YouTuber was asked about moving on and seeing someone new. He quickly shut that down, saying, “No, I’m not dating. I haven’t moved on.” Given how fresh it is, it makes a lot of sense. A lot of people have not been the kindest to him since their falling out, assuming he was at fault.

However, on his new single with Real Boston Richey, “WHAT U BAD FOR,” DDG is addressing that very topic, as well as where his mind is at regarding Halle. “Yeah, they cappin’ and s*** on the blogs, they think I’m a bum, but f*** that s*** / I like when they countin’ me out, ’cause I know I’m that n****, I love that s***.” He then adds, “Thing about Halo mommy, you know that’s my baby forever, y’all know that I love that— (Go).” Whether or not this anthem for the baddies was just a vehicle to drop these bars in will remain a mystery. But if it was, it’s certainly doing its job at creating some conversation.

“What U Bad For” – DDG & Real Boston Richey

Quotable Lyrics:

I’m too piped up, no shade, can’t f*** on a b**** that’s whippin’ Hondas
I got a football team of h*es, twelve deep like Travis Hunter
Prolly be single like DDG, I tried to f*** my b**** wit’ a condom
She ain’t goin’ for that
N**** ain’t bought you shit in six months, how the f*** you goin’ for that?
N**** done offered two K for the p**sy, b****, you goin’ for that?

DDG Admits He Still Loves Halle Bailey In New Song “WHAT U BAD FOR”

November 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DDG and Halle Bailey can’t seem to go very long without discussing one another. This is a chicken or the egg situation, admittedly. It’s impossible to know if they are talking about each other fans are interested, or if fans are interested because they are talking about each other. Either way, DDG and Bailey have been the focus of numerous stories since their break up in October. DDG, in particular, has dedicated a lot of his online content to discussing the mother of his child. He did so again on November 15, when he put out a new song.

The song in question is called “WHAT U BAD FOR.” DDG brags about all the women he’s bagged and all the money he’s made, but the most interesting bars come when he drops the boastful facade. He delves into his personal life, and the way he feels about Halle Bailey. “Thing about Halo mommy, you know that’s my baby forever,” he raps. “Y’all know that I love that—.” The word “go” takes the place of the word that would have otherwise completed the line. Elsewhere in the song, DDG talks about the criticism that he’s gotten online since the break up.

“Yeah, they cappin’ and sh*t on the blogs, they think I’m a bum, but f*ck that sh*t,” DDG adds. “I like when they countin’ me out, ’cause I know I’m that n**ga, I love that sh*t.” The rapper’s bars might be a bit surprising to those who haven’t been keeping up with his live stream. Those who have, however, are aware that he has already admitted to still having feelings for Halle Bailey. In a recent Q&A stream, DDG told fans that he doesn’t want to have kids with multiple women, nor does he feel ready to date another person. “No, I’m not dating,” he asserted. “I haven’t moved on.”

DDG has mentioned Halle Bailey in his lyrics, before, but in a wildly different context. The rapper alluded to his superstar ex on the 2023 song “Famous.” He alludes to the fact that Bailey got close with her Little Mermaid co-star during the film’s press tour. “I been so insecure that I be thinkin’ you really be f*ckin’ n**gas you in movies with,” he rapped. Many theorize that this insecurity was partially to blame for the couple splitting. Either way, it appears as though there’s more to this story than a simple break up.

DDG Admits He Hasn’t Moved On From Halle Bailey Since Their Split

November 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DDG and Halle Bailey have been put in a difficult spot. Both artists are young and famous, and they share a child. There were attempts made on both of their parts to keep their break up a private matter. DDG put out a written statement asking fans to respect their privacy until they could adjust to life as co-parents. It has not gone as smoothly or as privately as they’d hoped. DDG and Halle Bailey have publicly addressed their frustrations with one another. The latter even admitted that he hasn’t moved on from Bailey despite their separation.

DDG dropped this emotional bombshell on November 12. The rapper and YouTuber opened up about his plans for the future. Fans in the chat asked whether he has plans to date again, and he clarified that he’s not ready. “No, I’m not dating,” DDG explained. “I haven’t moved on.” The rapper explained that he much prefers to work on music and his career instead of his love life at the moment. He then proceeded to call out fans for making up rumors whenever he’s spotted with different women. DDG was recently seen with reality star Ahna Mac, and many assumed the two were romantically linked.

“Y’all don’t even know, I’m just working bro,” DDG said. “I know people be weird with me on the internet and my relationship.” DDG also talked about the possibility of having more kids. He told viewers that he doesn’t want his children to be too far apart in age. “I feel like that defeats the entire purpose of having another kid,” DDG said. “Maybe in like the next 2-3 years or so.” He clarified, however, that he wants to have a kid with the same person. DDG also explained that he does not want multiple “baby mamas,” and wants to build with the same woman.

“I don’t want to have kids with multiple people,” he added. “I feel like that’s just too much.” This was a sentiment that the rapper had previously made. He’s also made a point of supporting Halle Bailey in the instances in which her parenting has been criticized by fans. Bailey was upset with DDG for letting their son appear on a Kai Cenat live stream. Despite this disagreement, the rapper defended Bailey when the internet bullied her to the point of deleting her social media accounts.
