Halle Bailey’s Sister Ski Apologizes After Calling Out DDG

A tweet by DDG set the internet on fire after people believed he was shading Halle Bailey. The couple has been going strong for some time, often sharing bits of their romance with fans. However, yesterday (February 7), DDG tweeted, “All these girls the same,” causing a firestorm of reactions. People quickly attributed the message to The Little Mermaid star, and rumors of a breakup soon followed. The controversy elicited a reaction from Ski Bailey, Halle’s older sister.

In a video, Ski seemed perturbed by seeing Halle’s name as a hot topic. Then, she directly addressed DDG and let him know her sister isn’t to be messed with, especially publicly. “Halle’s not like the ones that you been with,” Ski said in her video. “You will not treat her the way that you’ve treated these others. I don’t give a freak if y’all had issues going on. That’s what you won’t do. Please understand that.”

“Like, you’re not gonna do her the way that you did everybody else,” Ski continued. “You’re not gonna come to social media and try to put her on blast and insinuate or put something out that make it seem like she was doing something that she wasn’t doing. You need to pipe down and get yourself together. If y’all broke up then you need to just unfollow and just keep it pushin’. You don’t have to put nothin’ out there like that. Talkin’ about, ‘All these girls is the same.’ Are you dumb? Are you stupid?”

After her clip circulated online, Ski returned with an update. It seemed that she spoke with Halle and got the inside information as to what was going on behind the scenes. “My bad y’all. I spoke to sis and ain’t nothing going on lol,” she wrote. “Let me go back to drinking my water and minding the business that pays me.”

Yet, others noted that DDG seemingly erased Halle’s photos from his social media accounts. Check out Ski Bailey’s video above.

Did DDG And Halle Bailey Break Up?

As Valentine’s Day approaches, love is in the air. However, based on whispers across social media, hip-hop and R&B’s hottest young couple DDG and Halle Bailey may be sending the lover’s holiday apart. The pair began their romance in January 2022 and have been publicly spotted in public ever since, including on the red carpet at the BET Awards.

Rapper and YouTuber DDG has spoken about how the singer has motivated him, centered his love for her in his past music videos, and used his platform to speak out against racist trolls targeting her starring role in Disney’s The Little Mermaid live-action adaptation. However, after fans noticed that DDG was no longer following Bailey on Instagram, they began questioning if the pair had quietly called it quits.

In a now-deleted tweet, DDG wrote, “All girls are the same.” Without context, the internet began to think that the singer had stepped out of the relationship, but Bailey’s oldest sister took to social media to clear Halle’s name. In the video, she said, “you’re not going to come on social media and insinuate that she was doing something that she wasn’t doing. You need to pipe down and get yourself together.”

After pushback, DDG retired to Twitter to seemingly address the rumors of the singer cheating, writing, “The internet so gullible.”

So, did they break up? It looks like the jury is out for now — but all the signs are there. We’ll have to wait until they confirm it one way or another; ’til then, it’s all just speculation.

Fans Think DDG & Halle Bailey Broke Up

Another Hip Hop couple may have called it quits—that is if you are to believe the rumors about DDG and Halle Bailey. It was just over a year ago when the pair were rumored to have vacationed together. Soon, they were displaying their love to the public, and while it seemed like an unlikely match, their bond quickly grew on fans. However, things seem to have changed online, and people have speculated as to the status of their relationship.

The rapper recently tweeted, “All these girls the same.” He dropped off a crying emoji and added, “Ain’t no wayy.” Then, people noticed that DDG scrubbed his Instagram clean of memories with Bailey. Further, it looked like they no longer follow one another on Instagram, either. It didn’t take long for social media users to hop online with their takes on what could have happened.

Despite sharing tender moments with the masses, DDG and Bailey were a private couple. They didn’t let the world into too many of their intimate moments, but when they did, they boasted about one another. Back in November, the rapper visited The Breakfast Club and detailed why he was so taken with Bailey.

“I’ve never been with nobody that’s like really motivated me like she do,” he said at the time. “I’m seeing different sh*t. I ain’t really been around this type of sh*t before. So, it’s like, she’s bringing me around sh*t that I ain’t really—you know what I’m saying?” DDG added, “I was my own person before her, but in a way, she put me on to different sh*t. That’s dope because I’m usually the one putting motherf*ckers on.”

It was further noted that DDG isn’t private regarding his love life, but for Halle, this is the first public relationship she’s shared. The rapper earned himself backlash from Bailey’s fans.

There Was ‘No Agenda’ When Casting Halle Bailey In ‘The Little Mermaid,’ The Movie’s Director Insists

After Grammy-award-winning singer and songwriter HER’s (real name Gabriella Wilson) performance as Belle in Beauty And The Beast: A 30th Celebration television event, Disney lovers are counting down the days until the live adaption of The Little Mermaid hits theaters. The film starring Halle Bailey in the title role of Ariel is slated to be released in the spring of next year.

Over the years, Disney and its child company, Pixar, have made strides to center more diverse stories and actors throughout its films. Unfortunately, not everyone was pleased with this decision. Seeing a regal underwater mermaid with dreadlocks pushed some over the edge.

Although the “Do It” singer has avoided the negative comments, only addressing the pressures of stepping into the role, many other industry professionals have come out to publicly support her, including Encanto director Lin-Manuel Miranda and now, The Little Mermaid director Rob Marshall.

In an interview with EW, Marshall clapped back at naysayers claiming Bailey was only cast to appease the “woke community” or to meet a diversity quota. When asked about Bailey’s casting, Marshall replied, “We just were looking for the best actor for the role, period. The end. We saw everybody and every ethnicity. The goal was to find someone who can be incredibly strong, passionate, beautiful, smart, clever, and with a great deal of fire and joy.”

Marshall stressed there was “no agenda” behind Bailey’s casting.

For upset about Halle Bailey’s upcoming appearance in The Little Mermaid, you may want to brace yourself as her big sister Chloe Bailey has verbalized her desire to play Storm from X-Men.

Halle Bailey Says ‘The Little Mermaid’ Director Encouraged Her To Incorporate Her Locs Into Ariel

Anticipation is high for Disney’s live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid, which is set to premiere next year. At Disney’s D23 expo, Disney revealed the first teaser trailer for the upcoming film, which features Halle Bailey as Ariel, singing a portion of the iconic musical number “Part Of Your World.”

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Bailey discussed the process of incorporating parts of herself into Ariel, including her locs.

“With Rob, he’s so amazing and just saying, ‘I see you and I want to bring you into the character,’” Bailey said. “It was a beautiful thing. My hair, for example — incorporating my locs into the red hair was something that was really special to me. The outfit, the fins, everything. It’s just amazing. I’m just grateful that I’ve been able to take the essence of me and mix the two.”

Bailey, known largely as one half of the sister musical duo Chloe x Halle, has been working on several films, including The Color Purple, which is set to arrive next Christmas. She has also teased solo music on her social media channels.

She revealed that playing Ariel has helped her come into her own as an actress, musician, and young woman.

“I really felt like I got strong, mentally and physically,” Bailey said, “and I think it was a really good thing for me to do, just in terms of developing into a woman and myself, and knowing myself more. I’m more sure of myself after the filming experience, for sure.”

The Little Mermaid arrives to theaters May 26, 2023.
