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.

November 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

November 6 was not a particularly pleasant one for Halle Bailey. The singer discovered that her ex, DDG, brought their son onto a Kai Cenat live stream. Bailey took to Twitter to voice her disappointment in DDG, and fans proceeded to pile on her. Many felt the singer was overreacting, and that her ex should be able to do what he wants. Bailey responded by wiping her social media accounts. It all spun out of control in the span of a couple of hours. Now that the dust has settled, though, DDG has criticized fans who being critical of his ex.

“I don’t like when people hate on Halle,” DDG said via IG Live. He also admitted that he should’ve taken more stock of how the situation looked. Especially since Bailey was unaware of DDG’s plan to go on a Kai Cenat stream. “When situations like this happen,” the rapper noted. “I try to handle it with as much grace as possible. Leave Halle alone.” DDG also alluded to Bailey’s comments about postpartum, which she felt compelled to share before she deleted her Twitter account. The rapper told fans that it doesn’t matter if they think she’s right or wrong, they need to mind their business.

“She could be going through something mentally,” he noted. “After having a kid, that I can’t understand as a man. We need each other to create a childhood that’s safe and fun and memorable.” He also spoke on his relationship with Halle Bailey since their split in October. Despite having romantic differences, the rapper asserted that he will always have unconditional love and respect for her. He pointed to his son as the most important thing in his life, and acknowledged that he wouldn’t be here were it not for Bailey. “People go through this time of stuff all the time,” he remarked.

DDG’s comments earned praise from fans. The rapper has widely criticized in the wake of his split from Bailey. Some have derided his decision, while others, like Joe Budden, have outright mocked his career in comparison to Bailey’s. His handling of the live stream situation, however, has won the respect of several previous detractors. Halle Bailey hasn’t commented on DDG’s video, but she did return to social media to issue an apology to her ex.

Halle Bailey Apologizes To DDG After “Overreacting” To Son Halo’s Stream Appearance

November 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Halle Bailey and DDG announced their breakup earlier this year, and it seems like they reached their first big public disagreement as coparents. Moreover, the former took to Twitter to call out the latter for taking their baby boy Halo to a Kai Cenat stream without her knowing about it, which resulted in a lot of debate. Some folks think that she’s completely in the right, whereas others saw this as a misguided overreaction. Well, it looks like the singer herself agrees in part with the latter group. She returned to the social media platform on Thursday morning (November 7) to offer an apology to her rapper ex for her initially strong words, although she maintained the emotional core of her principal issues with this lack of communication.

“yesterday maybe i did overreact and shouldn’t have brought it here,” Halle Bailey wrote of the situation with DDG, their son Halo, and the Kai Cenat stream. “i know that halo is always safe with his dad. i just don’t like finding out with the rest of the world what my baby is doing. thank u kai for the gifts for halo [heart emoji] [star emoji].”

Halle Bailey Walks Back Her Criticism Of DDG & Their Son Halo’s Kai Cenat Stream Appearance

This marks Halle Bailey’s return to social media after briefly deactivating her Twitter over this whole situation, indicating that some time off the Internet helped her reach a more measured conclusion in her eyes. Still, she maintained that she wants DDG – or anyone, for that matter – to properly communicate what is going on with their son Halo if she’s not there, and affirmed her belief that he’s a great father to the baby boy. Hopefully the coparents can resolve these kinds of issues moving forward not in the public space first, but in a private manner that ensures communication without resorting to a public debate. Although that is sadly necessary on occasion.

Nevertheless, both Halle Bailey and DDG are still figuring out what to make of their split and how to navigate moving forward. It’s a difficult process, especially as celebrities, but hopefully their support and empathy can mitigate these problems in the future. As always, communication is key!

Halle Bailey Is Upset With DDG After He Brought Their Child To Kai Cenat’s Stream

November 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Halle Bailey and DDG’s son Halo wound up becoming a bit of a meme in September, but that doesn’t mean Bailey always loves her child to be on display to a large online audience: DDG recently brought Halo into a Kai Cenat stream, which upset Bailey.

In a post shared on social media, Bailey wrote:

“hi everyone. just so you know i am out of town and i don’t approve of my baby being on a stream tonight. i wasn’t told or notified and i am extremely upset to have my baby in front of millions of people. i am his mother and protector and saddened that i wasn’t notified especially when i am out of town.”

On October, DDG announced he and Bailey had broken up, writing, “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. 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.”

Halle Bailey Blasts DDG For Bringing Their Son On Kai Cenat’s Stream

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DDG has done most of the talking with regards to his split from Halle Bailey. The celebrity couple went their separate ways in October, while maintaining their commitment to parent their son. DDG has caught most of the flack regarding the break up, but the flack reached a more severe level on November 6. The YouTuber and rapper was called out by Halle Bailey herself. DDG appeared on a Kai Cenat livestream with his son in tow, and the singer could not believe what she was watching.

Halle Bailey took to Twitter to make it clear that she didn’t approve of DDG’s decision. “Just so you know I am out of town and I don’t approve of my baby being on a stream tonight,” the singer asserted. “I wasn’t told or notified. I am extremely upset to have my baby in front of millions of people.” Bailey then made an allusion to DDG’s lack of communication. “I am his mother and protector,” she explained. “And saddened that I wasn’t notified especially when I am out of town.” The replies to Halle Bailey’s post varied in terms of tone. Some championed the singer for speaking out, and asserting her motherhood.

Halle Bailey Is Experiencing “Severe Postpartum”

Others, however, felt DDG should be able to make decisions regarding his child’s well-being. “He with his dad,” one user noted. “Enjoy your time out of town.” Another Twitter user felt that Bailey was hypocritical, given that she often posts photos of her son on social media. “You post your kid all time,” they explained. The circumstances are, admittedly, different. Halle Bailey posting a photo with her son is not the same as featuring him on a stream watched by millions of teenage fans. Kai Cenat live streams are also notorious for going off the rails, and getting dangerous at times.

Kai Cenat was just embroiled in a controversy in which he had Kodak Black on his stream. The rapper appeared to be under the influence of drugs, and fans believed that Cenat should not have agreed to show him in such a compromised state. Halle Bailey sent a follow up tweet in which she revealed that she’s suffering from postpartum. “As a woman experiencing severe postpartum,” she wrote. “There are boundaries I wish to be respected.” The singer urged her followers to respect her privacy and the privacy of others. “Nobody knows what someone else is going through,” she concluded. “Until they snap.” DDG has not yet responded to Halle Bailey’s criticisms.

If ur dad posted you when u were young, no one would care lol.”

Fans in the replies were stoked about the clapback. “Lol.. I don’t understand the hat£ on a man posting his own kid. Lots of people do it too and it’s okay why his gotta be different??,” one user wrote. Another added: “You’re just like any other parent posting pictures of their children. How dare u, you’re a monster. I got 5 kids and I’m nobody so his logic is wrong. Lol.”

I cherish the time we’ve spent together and the love we shared. Despite the changes in our relationship, our love for each other remains deep and true.”

Halle Bailey Dresses Like Halle Berry’s James Bond Character For Halloween

October 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yes, Halle Bailey’s name was inspired by Halle Berry. The former’s parents considered naming her “Hailey,” but decided to change it to “Halle” as a tribute to the Oscar-winning actress. Bailey has had an impressive career over her own in the last decade, as evidenced by her leading role in the Little Mermaid remake. Halle Bailey decided to pay tribute to her near-namesake, however, this Halloween. She dressed like Berry’s character from the James Bond film Die Another Day, and the internet was impressed.

Die Another Day may not be one of the most acclaimed 007 films. In fact, the tepid critical response to the film led producers to give the MI6 agent a gritty reboot with Daniel Craig a few years later. That said, Halle Berry’s presence, and her orange swim suit, remains one of the film’s best known images. Halle Bailey went all out with the recreation. She donned Berry’s short hair, orange bikini, and even the knife and holster that the character wears in the film. Bailey has a knack for recreating iconic film characters, as evidenced by her decision to dress like Janet Jackson from Poetic Justice in 2023.

Halle Bailey Referred To Halle Berry As Her ‘Queen’

Interestingly enough, Halle Bailey wasn’t the only musician who decided to cosplay as Berry. Coi Leray and Tyla decided to pay tribute to the iconic actress by dressing up as characters from different films. Leray dressed up like Berry’s Catwoman, and Tyla decided to take a left turn by dressing up like Berry’s character from The Flintstones Movie. All three celebs earned praise from their fans, but it was the Halle Berry co-sign that made the biggest impact. She wrote that Bailey, Leray and Tyla “crushed it” above a Pop Crave tweet rounding up the different costumes.

It was Halle Bailey, however, who received individualized praise for her costume. The singer posted pics of her in character, and Halle Berry was effusive in her praise. “Awe …my girl did that,” Berry wrote in the comment section. “What a huge compliment! Love you angel.” Halle Bailey was awe struck by the praise, and returned the love. “My queen approves,” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “My life is made.”

Halle Bailey’s 007-Inspired Halloween Costume Channeled Her Inner Super Spy — And Her Namesake

October 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Halloween costumes have been pretty good so far this year. The stars are reaching into their genre bag, with Megan Thee Stallion’s Teen Titans costume earning the approval of DC Studios CEO James Gunn, and Halle Bailey channeling her namesake in her 007-inspired costume.

Halle posted photos of her simple but inspired costume on Twitter, showing off the iconic orange bikini and white knife belt of infamous Bond girl Jinx, from Die Another Die, as portrayed by Halle Berry (who Bailey sometimes gets mistaken for). The costume hails from Jinx’s second appearance in the film and one of its most recognizable scenes, when the NSA agent emerges from the ocean in the striking swimsuit — an homage to a prior Bond girl, Honey Ryder (portrayed by Ursula Andress) from the first 007 film, Dr. No.

Halle Berry is turning out to be a favorite of Gen Z stars’ 2024 Halloween costumes, as South African singer Tyla and rapper Coi Leray also donned costume sfrom the actress’ oeuvre, albeit much earlier in her filmography. Tyla went with an homage to Berry’s Flintstones character, Sharon Stone (ha), while Coi opted for Berry’s take on Catwoman from the oft-maligned (yet, somehow, much beloved) camp classic and favorite celebrity Halloween costume.
