DDG just slid onto the internet to toss a few supportive words to his ex Halle Bailey after she publicly dragged him online this week. And let’s just say, he didn’t come to play—he came to slay…with kindness? Who would’ve thought? Here’s what went down, and why DDG’s now earning points in the Cool Ex Olympics.
If you missed the latest episode of “Keeping Up with the DDGs,” let me break it down: Halle Bailey, a.k.a. The Little Mermaid herself, called DDG out after he went rogue and featured their son Halo on a livestream, allegedly without asking her first. She was like, “Um, excuse me, no one asked for this cameo.” The next day, though, Halle seemed to dial it back, issuing an “Oops, my bad” follow-up where she hinted she might’ve gone a little “extra” in her reaction. Don’t worry, Halle; we’ve all been there.
Then Thursday rolled around, and DDG popped up on YouTube with a video response that basically screamed, “Stay in your lanes, internet.” Spoiler alert: He’s riding hard for Halle, saying he doesn’t want anyone talking smack about her. “Look, I don’t care if people think she’s right, wrong, or hanging out somewhere in the neutral zone,” he said. “I just don’t want to hear the hate.”
But he didn’t stop there. DDG was all, “Look, Halle just had a kid—our kid—and I can’t fully get what she’s going through. So when things like this happen, I’m out here doing my best to keep it classy for Halo’s sake.” Because apparently, DDG’s got that Zen dad energy now? The rapper continued his speech, practically oozing wholesome vibes as he explained, “Halo’s my lil’ buddy. I’m over here doing dad duty, and Halle made that possible, so you know what? Respect is in order.”
In fact, DDG took it one step further, saying he’s got “unconditional love and respect” for Halle, and nobody’s changing his mind on that. Whew, that’s big energy from a guy who could have easily dropped some spicy clapback. Instead, he was all, “Nah, I’m taking the high road.”
He also had a message for the public, telling everyone to keep the co-parenting criticism to themselves. “Look, y’all can keep roasting me if you need to, but Halle? That’s off-limits. She’ll always be family.” And yes, that sound you just heard was the collective “aww” of the internet.
The two ended their relationship back in October 2024 after dating for a few years, but it seems like the family vibes are here to stay.
