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

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.

DDG’s BBL Contest Leads To Severe Backlash From Halle Bailey Fans

DDG and Halle Bailey caused quite the uproar on social media at the beginning of this month for their split. However, the raucous has more so been caused by the rapper and content creator rather than the singer. Overall, he’s been the one doing almost all of the talking and posting online, with Halle only sharing some flicks at the gym with their child, Halo. What we have to learn is that he’s only willing to get back into a relationship if it’s with her.

Additionally, and quite conversely, he was also saying that he would tell his younger self to be single during his 20s. He essentially said dating is taxing and labeled it as “a part-time job.” It seems that the belief surrounding their breakup is that DDG was problematic, and that Bailey was right to be quiet amid all of the noise and leave him. That feeling is only growing after The Shade Room has shared that he’s launching a contest for his female fans.

He’s getting ready to drop a new single called “What U Bad For,” and it assumedly going to be a self-confidence anthem. We say that because in conjunction with the song, DDG is giving two lucky fans the chance to get a free non-surgical BBL. To win, they need to send him and Dr. Dorfman, the surgeon who will be performing the procedure, a video of them explaining why they deserve to win. It will be a two-week contest and when they get selected, they will be flown out to LA after getting a consultation that says they are able to receive the BBL surgery. Overall, Halle Bailey fans are being proven right in their eyes, while others feel she should have donated proceeds to charities instead.

What are your thoughts on DDG getting two fans non-surgical BBLs? Do you think he should have done something else in conjunction with his new song? Is this surgery become too big of an issue? Do you think this further proof that the rapper was the problem in his relationship with Halle Bailey? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding DDG. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the worlds of music and pop culture.

DDG Roasted By TikToker Claiming He “Trapped” Halle Bailey With A Baby

DDG has not had it easy since breaking up with Halle Bailey. The rapper and YouTuber requested that fans respect their privacy. In truth, they have done everything but. They have memed DDG for not being good enough to hold on to Bailey. They’ve also made fake screenshots of DDG Instagram posts, that he has had to debunk. The latest DDG controversy may be the meanest, though. A TikToker made a post in which she accused the rapper of trapping Halle Bailey with a child. He responded, and then she got back at him. It was a whole mess.

The overall sentiment of the TikTok post was that DDG purposely “trapped” his ex-girlfriend by starting a family with her and then breaking up. DDG didn’t appreciate the theory, and took to Instagram Live to set the record straight. “CPM’s not that high for you to be on there talking for two minutes about me,” he told followers. The rapper then decided to get personal with the TikTok creator. “You got two kids, I looked on your Instagram…. with no baby daddy. But you worry about me.” DDG made it clear that he didn’t want or think people should be, in his personal business. “Y’all need to stop,” he added. “I be seeing what y’all be saying, bro.”

DDG Was Called Out For His Insulting Comments

The creator, who goes by the handle @frankie_aab, responded. She scrolled through Halle Bailey’s Instagram and noted that DDG is nowhere to be found. “I need y’all to let me know when you see DDG on her page,” she remarked. “It’s funny that you try to use me being a baby mama as an insult when you turned her into a baby mama your damn self.” The creator then noted that including the father of her children on her social media would not make sense. “Why would I have my ex-husband on my page,” @frankie_aab asked. “Did you ever marry that girl?”

The TikToker proceeded to criticize DDG for trying to cast her in a negative. She claimed that her kids are currently spending time with their father, effectively disproving the implication that her ex-husband is not in their lives. There’s a bit of a double standard at play, here, admittedly. @frankie_aab is rightfully calling out DDG for making assumptions and casting aspersions on her life. The whole TikTok exchange started, though, because she was doing the same thing about his life.

DDG Claims He’s Done With Dating Unless He Reunites With Halle Bailey

DDG has had quite the week. The rapper/YouTuber announced that he’d broken up with Halle Bailey via Instagram. The internet had lots of opinions on the matter, and DDG has spent the last few days having to explain his stance. It’s not an ideal place to be. The rapper had to debunk a fake screenshot that had been making the rounds under his name. Then, on October 7, he shed light on his plans for the future. Namely, whether or not he wanted to get into another long term relationship anytime soon.

DDG told his fans, via live stream, that he wasn’t interesting dating. Like, in the long term. The rapper claimed that he had no interest in future relationships. “I am not dating anyone,” he asserted. “I don’t have a potential girlfriend, nor do I even think about that.” DDG clarified that he does not want to have a messy personal life moving forward, and winces at the notion of having multiple baby mamas. “I don’t plan on getting into another at all… I am not finna get a new girlfriend.” The one exception that he made was his famous ex, Halle Bailey.

DDG Is Open To Getting Back With Bailey

He conceded that he would consider getting back together with Bailey, since they already have a family together. He doubled down on his familial stance by telling his followers that he plans to go pick up his son as soon as the stream ends. While it makes sense that the rapper would not want to jump back in to a relationship so soon after one ended, his comments about Bailey did catch some fans off guard. Many were not expecting him to be open to the idea of getting back together with her. Especially given that he was the one who announced their split in the first place.

DDG definitely feels defensive when it comes to the way the public has perceived his split. Joe Budden had some harsh comments to make about the rapper on The Joe Budden Podcast, and the rapper fired back with some harsh comments of his own. He called Budden a deadbeat dad, made comments about his sexuality, and claimed that people only watched his previous show, Everyday Struggle, because it had DJ Akademiks.

DJ Akademiks Alleges That Halle Bailey & DDG Broke Up A Long Time Ago

A lot of people are talking about DDG and Halle Bailey calling it quits after years of romance, although we don’t really have many explanations as to why. However, a lot of fans also speculated that the two have been rocky for a while, especially given previous scandals. Well, DJ Akademiks recently took to his livestream to address the issue, making the bombshell claim that they split up a while ago. Even though he didn’t choose to provide proof or read into the situation too deeply, he did recall a recent conversation with the Michigan rapper.

“[A] breakup letter, if you want to call it,” DJ Akademiks said of DDG’s breakup message. “I understood it. You know why I understood it? Because what y’all haven’t known is that they have been separated for a while. This is facts, I’m telling you this as fact. They have been separated for a while. You just didn’t know. A lot of people on The Shade Room didn’t know. They’re usually pretty quiet, they keep their business to themselves. I don’t know if she’s f***ing with other people, but she, you know, she’s living her life. She’s around, she’s having fun. Hanging around celebrities.

“There’s videos and pictures as proof, I won’t even put it up,” DJ Akademiks continued. “Because they on DDG’s a**, that n***a can’t do a motherf***ing thing. ‘Cause the whole perception of the whole Internet is that they’re still together. So you know why DDG had to post this s**t? To let everybody know, ‘If eventually you see me take a picture with another woman, even if I have no interest in her, I’m not cheating on this woman that y’all love so much.’ And I said, ‘Goddamn.’ And I told him yesterday. I said, ‘Man, it’s sad that you got to let these hordes of obsessed Stans – that’s Stans over a relationship – know that the relationship’s over.”

Elsewhere, DDG is butting heads with Joe Budden over the Halle Bailey breakup, so we’ll see how this situation continues to evolve in the media. For now, it looks like the theories are just getting started.

DDG Slams Joe Budden After He Jokingly Claimed To Be ‘Happy’ About The Rapper’s Split From Halle Bailey

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 Says He Would Advise His Younger Self To Stay Single As Halle Bailey Breakup Rumors Swirl

DDG said he’d advise his 22-year-old self to remain single as long as possible to focus on himself and his career. He made the comment while speaking with Jay Cinco during an episode of the No Ordinary Podcast, after allegedly announcing that he and Halle Bailey have broken up.

“It’s best for you to be single in these years of your life so you can really grind. Ain’t nobody going nowhere…unless a girl get a new n***a or something…whoever you like in this moment, but get your ducks in a row first and grind and not have no restrictions,” he said, as noted by The Shade Room, before comparing the experience of being in a relationship to a part-time job.

DDG continued: “If I was 22, I would tell myself, ‘Bro, just grind it out and let a relationship happen. But only happen when you feel comfortable within yourself as a man. I feel like you shouldn’t get into a relationship until you feel like a n***a can’t DM your girl and take your girl. Like if you feel like there’s a n***a out there that’s more lit, more stable than you that can take your girl, then you ain’t working hard enough.”

DDG Shares Advice For His Younger Self

Rumors about DDG’s breakup with Halle Bailey began, earlier this week, when the rapper posted a confirmation message on his Instagram Story. He wrote that the two will remain close friends. Halle, on the other hand, has not broken her silence on the matter. The two welcomed their first child together, late last year.

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.

Halle Bailey & DDG Wipe Each Other Off Of Their Instagram Pages

DDG and Halle Bailey may have just had a baby boy not even a year ago, but it looks like they realized they wanted to go in different directions. Moreover, the former recently announced that they decided to break up, which was a shock for some social media users and an opportunity for debate and speculative criticism for others. No matter what your thoughts are, it looks like the couple is proceeding with their choice. For example, they each deleted all posts featuring the other on their respective Instagram accounts. While we can’t know the exact reason why they chose to do so, one can assume that they would want distance at this point before continuing their journey as co-parents.

“Dear friends and supporters,” DDG’s announcement of the Halle Bailey split began. “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. As we navigate this transition, we ask for your understanding and support. Thank you for your love and encouragement. -DDG [red heart emoji].”

As for why Halle Bailey and DDG broke up, fans have many theories and rumors to spread. Chief among them is the joke that Usher is to blame, since the rapper tried to snatch a cherry that the R&B legend tried to feed to Halle during a performance. It wouldn’t be the first time that Usher was the alleged root of a breakup, but that moment was probably just a playful antic without any serious repercussions.

Meanwhile, their co-parenting of Halo will probably maintain a strong bond between them regardless of their relationship status. All we can hope for is that things stay amicable and family-focused.

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.
