Whether you know him as a YouTube prankster or humorous rapper, Uproxx cover star DDG doesn’t find anything funny about his split from Halle Bailey. On October 3, the “Way Too Petty” musician announced that after two years together, he and Bailey had officially broken up and would “remain best friends” as they raise their son, Halo.

While many fans still question the validity of DDG’s announcement, given his past antics, Joe Budden expressed his excitement about the news. So, yesterday (October 5), DDG took to X (formerly Twitter) to slam the rapper-turned-podcaster.

“‘Pump It Up’ went gold after 20 years u old b*tch,” he wrote. “Joe Budden, I’m on u 🫵🏽.”

He continued, writing: “N**** got 30 years MAX of life left and speaking on a relationship of people the same age as your son you ain’t take care of. I hope u forget to take your magnesium pills today u old b*tch, Joe Budden 🫵🏽.”

DDG also sent a message out to other men with negative opinions about him. “I don’t be tripping bout the girls saying sh*t cuz I’m used to it,” he wrote. “It’s all love. But you n****s wit platforms gonna get a response fasho.”

So, what did Joe Budden said to earn such a fiery response from DDG. During a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast (viewable here), he joked about being happy for the split so he won’t see DDG’s name anymore. Read Joe Budden’s commentary below.

The question to my distinguished panel is a question that I’ve been asking myself for quite some time. Who the f*ck is DDG? And why am I supposed to care about his thoughts on anything?… I’m very happy that they have broken up so I don’t have to keep seeing this n****s’ name attached to this girl’s name when I don’t know his for nothing as the standalone. And for me, it’s important to know people based on their own name, merit, and what they have done. I don’t even know enough about her. Like, I’m not her demo either. But every time I see his name, it’s attached to hers, and it is typically in some type of clout chaser fashion. So, that makes me look at him a different way. And hopefully I get to look at him a lot less now that they’ve broken up.

DDG Claims Viral IG Screenshot Explaining Why He Is Single Is Fake

DDG and Halle Bailey are no more. The couple charmed fans everywhere, especially after the arrival of their son in 2023, but DDG confirmed that they were going their separate ways on October 3. He put out a lengthy statement on Instagram, detailing their decision and assuring fans that they are still going to be friends and co-parents. The internet, being the internet, reacted in unpredictable ways. Some made fun of the couple, others criticized them for not trying to stay together for the sake of their child. Then there was someone who made a fake screenshot of a DDG message.

The message made the rounds the same day as DDG’s breakup statement. It was framed, similarly, as white text against a black Instagram Story backdrop. It also posed DDG’s decision to end his romance with Halle Bailey as something that stemmed from frustration. “I’m a grown man I can make my own decisions,” the fake post explained. “We chose to split because of personal reasons, nah it’s not a skit. I’m not hurt.” The fake post also posited that DDG is happy with the state of his relationship as long as his son is taken care of. “As long as my son good I’m good,” the post concluded.

DDG Claimed He Doesn’t Use Close Friends On IG

While nothing said was inflammatory or especially bold, DDG didn’t say it. He took to Twitter to clarify that he doesn’t even use the “close friends” option on Instagram. This is where the screenshot was alleged to have come from. “I don’t even use close friends,” the rapper tweeted. He then directed an insult at the fans who made and circulated the fake post. “Stop being weird,” he asserted. The couple made headlines for dressing up like Janet Jackson and Tupac from the film Poetic Justice during their last Halloween, but not everything for them has been smooth sailing.

DDG made it clear that he didn’t like how cozy Bailey got with her Little Mermaid co-star during the press tour. He said as much in the song “Famous.” The title itself sparked debate, as Bailey’s Disney role made her significantly more famous than her musician boyfriend. “Filmin’ a movie now you kissing dudes / You know I love you a lot,” DDG rapped. “I don’t give a f*ck if that sh*t for promo / I don’t wanna see this sh*t no more.” Halle Bailey, who has yet to speak publicly on the split.

Actress/singer Halle Bailey and rapper/YouTuber DDG have broken up after two years together, according to a post on the rapper’s Instagram page.

“Dear friends and supporters,” he wrote. “After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways.”

“This decision was not easy, but we believe it’s the best path forward for both of us,” he continued. “I cherish the time we’ve spent together and the love we’ve shared. Despite the changes in our relationship, our love for each other remains deep and true. We are still best friends and adore each other. As we focus on our individual journeys and our roles as co-parents, we cherish the bond we’ve built and the beautiful moments we’ve shared. As we navigate this transition, we ask for your understanding and support.”

DDG and Halle were first linked in January 2022, while DDG confirmed the relationship in June that year. In August 2023, rumors surfaced online that Halle was pregnant with the couple’s first child, and in January this year, those rumors were confirmed as they announced the birth of their son, Halo, who has since become a viral meme after making a face that works well for a variety of situations.

Halle took a break from social media recently, which preceded the release of her new single, “Because I Love You,” while former Uproxx cover star DDG released “Clockin’” today.

DDG Confirms Breakup From Halle Bailey With Heartfelt Statement

DDG and Halle Bailey seemed like a perfect match. The rapper/YouTuber and singer went public with their romance in 2022, and a year later, they started a family. Sadly, the relationship appears to have come to an end. DDG, born Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., confirmed the split to the world on October 3rd. The musician posted a lengthy statement on Instagram, assuring fans that he and Bailey are still best friends and plan to co-parent their son.

DDG claimed that lots of discussion went into the decision to break up. “We believe it’s the best path forward for both of us,” he wrote. “I cherish the time we’ve spent together and the love we’ve shared.” The rapper and YouTuber made it very clear that there are no hard feelings between him and Bailey. In fact, the former couple consider themselves to be best friends. “We are still best friends and we adore each other,” he added. “We cherish the bond we’ve built and the beautiful moments we’ve shared.” He also requested that the fans of both be supportive during this difficult transitional period.

DDG Alluded To Relationship Woes In A 2023 Song

There have been rumors swirling that not all was what it seemed between DDG and Halle Bailey. In 2023, the former released the song “Famous.” The lyrics on the song allude to Bailey kissing her Little Mermaid co-star Jonah Hauer-King during the press tour for the Disney film. This was something that rubbed the rapper the wrong way, evidently. “Filmin’ a movie, now you kissing dudes. You know I love you a lot,” DDG rapped. “I don’t give a f*ck if that sh*t for promo / I don’t wanna see this sh*t no more.” Other lines allude to DDG being “insecure” about his relationship.

There were also allegations that DDG was being unfaithful to Bailey during their relationship. The rumors swirled because DDG’s ex, Rubi Rose, tweeted: “Having ur b*tch [wear] my clothes is crazy lol,” which of course led to speculation that she was referring to the rapper. To make matters worse, Rose shared a few screenshots of alleged DM conversations in which DDG asked about her location. “Nobody cheated on nobody,” DDG tweeted in response, seemingly putting an end to the allegations. Now, unfortunately, the relationship has come to an end as well.

Halle Bailey and DDG are both stars, and now so is their son Halo, as a photo of him has become the subject of a terrific meme lately.

The photo in question is a screenshot of a video DDG shared in August, of Wave on what looks like a mall train ride for children. In the viral screenshot, Wave is making a facial expression that’s a mix of concern and fear.

The image has made the rounds online and people have been having fun with it. That includes DDG: On August 30, he tweeted, “who made my son into a meme [laughing emojis].”

He also shared a tweet using the image that reads, “me looking at my bank account after a spending spree.” He added in another tweet, “my son more lit than me, i love it [teary eyed emoji].”

Sexyy Red got in on the fun, too, sharing a clip from the video and captioning it, “Me look at da 7 [black woman emoji] in a Nissan Altima Fly Pass Me Blasting Sexyy Red (I’m Doing 120).” Bailey shared that post and added a simple crying emoji.

Bailey, meanwhile, just made good on her promise of new music in August by releasing “Because I Love You.”

DDG Cops An Instrumental From Cash Cobain For “Copy My Drip”

by

DDG and Cash Cobain are two artists who are pretty hit and miss. For the Pontiac, Michigan rapper, if he has a winning chorus or flow, the track tends to be solid. For the New York-bred producer, if he presents an addicting melody or an interesting drum pattern, the beat can be so good that it carries a song. However, neither is the case on this latest single from DDG, “copy my drip”. What we get from both stars is a pretty run of the mill trap beat with an uninteresting guitar loop and some painfully boring and awkward bars.

“F*** with me, I’ll f*** ’round and I’ll f*** your b**** / He ain’t do his research, he ain’t know I’m lit / Plain black T-shirt with no logo, he ain’t know this Rick / Huh, I’m like, “Where your ho go?” He ain’t know I hit“. The chorus is just one spot where DDG presents a one-note flow and delivery that makes the short track that much more of a tedious listen. Thankfully, the multi-hyphenate has put out some much more favorable tracks this year. If you need some recommendations, we encourage you to check out “she ain’t leaving” and “Shoot Up Your Block”, just to name a couple.

“Copy My Drip”- DDG

Quotable Lyrics:

I just had a son, and this s*** is so damn fun (Uh-huh)
Gotta keep it safe, I done locked up all my guns (Uh-huh)
We countin’ bread and these n****s countin’ crumbs (Uh-huh)
I want some head ‘fore I get up in them buns
N****, that’s mandatory, I pulled up in a Maybach, mm
Yeah, that’s end of story (Ooh)

DDG, his partner Halle Bailey, and their six-month-old son Halo, are continuing to face the wrath of the internet after the rapper showed of his child’s lineup. This wave of hate and backlash comes just a few days after the couple revealed their baby boy’s face for the first time. Them taking this long to do so is nothing new for these multi-talented lovers, as Halle Bailey’s pregnancy was kept hush hush as possible. When they did decide they were comfortable enough to share Halo to the world through wholesome family photos, some people just could not contain themselves. It led DDG to go off online, saying, “It just makes me mad. “But then I have to realize that my son is richer than them and he has a more successful life”.

Now, the Pontiac, Michigan father of one is having to respond to more trolls and haters alike for the aforementioned haircut. According to The Shade Room, DDG shared a video of Halo getting his first-ever lineup at just six months old. He did begin to cry once the barber began to go to work with the trimmers. But papa bear was able to calm him down with a bottle and he wound up being just fine. A lot of social media users were critiquing this decision mostly because of how bad this could be for Halo’s hair in the future.

Additionally, there were others who were just roasting the fact that DDG decided to go through with this. However, DDG was not having any of it, going ballistic once again. “People got something got to say because I got my son a line up at six months. Listen y’all, y’all worry ’bout your own kids. He came out of my balls. Not yours. Worry about your own baby. Worry about your daddy. Why your daddy couldn’t afford you a haircut? Let me be a happy dad”, DDG said. The multi-media figure even suggested that Black people are doing the majority of the talking, when instead they should be happy for him. “Why y’all always gotta say negative things about your own race? Instead, you should’ve just said the lining is crispy, cause it is, I know”.

DDG Continues To Feed His Fans With Melodic Cut “She Ain’t Leaving”

by

Pontiac, Michigan rapper and social media star DDG is continuing to feed his fans with “she ain’t leaving”. Throughout the first half of 2024, the father of one has been dropping off loosies galore on his YouTube channel. Some of them have made are on streaming, though. So far, those include this latest one, “Going To The Top”, and “Shoot Up Your Block”. The other 70 percent of them remain as exclusive drops and there has been some heaters in there. We were able to get to the collaboration with Blueface and Swae Lee, “Top”, which also has a music video that was filmed before his pal’s arrest. It seems most of these songs are ones that DDG is unleashing from his secret vault. So far, fans have been loving the steady output and it seems he is not even close to done.

On “she ain’t leaving”, DDG is back in is melodic bag, a lane we continually see him go to. “She Don’t Play”, a late 2023 release is one of his recent examples in that regard. The production is very chill with a prominent guitar loop contributing to the vibe. In addition to most of DDG’s discography, he is bragging unapologetically about his success and the women he can pull. With all of these singles, you would think that he might be inching closer to dropping an album or any kind of project for that matter. However, Halle Bailey’s partner did just drop Maybe It’s Me… last year, so we could fans might not get something until the end of ’24 or until 2025. DDG seems content with what he is delivering and that is what matters.

Protective Papa DDG Clapped Back At Trolls Who Had Negative Things To Say About His Son Halo

Father’s Day was officially celebrated last month. But daddy duties never stop. First time poppa, DDG would certainly agree. Since the birth of his son Halo at the top of the year, the “Way Too Petty” rapper and his girlfriend and fellow entertainer Halle Bailey have slowly and cautiously shared small milestones online.

On July 3, the couple revealed the adorable infant’s face in a gallery of family vacation photos. Although the images were met with overwhelmingly positive responses, a few outliers hide in the comment section.

Not only did DDG notice the snide remarks, he decided to clapback with a few of his own. In a video captured by The Shade Room, DDG let loose on the trolls.

“I read a few comments,” he said. “I know I have the best looking son in the world. There is no baby out there that is more handsome than my son. But I seen a few poor, broke, dirty, fat back b*tches on Instagram talking about my son, and it just makes me so angry and mad.”

His insults didn’t stop there. “But then I have to realize that my son is richer than them,” he said. “And he has a more successful life than [them]. And he’s in Italy at 6 months [old]. He’s been across the world. He’s been around the world already, and he has only been living for six months. And they are poor, broke, and can barely eat probably on welfare still, and they are grown probably living with they momma.”
