Welcome to the latest episode of “As the Custody Battle Turns!” Buckle up, babes, because DDG just filed a plot twist messier than a spaghetti fight in Milan.
So here’s the piping hot pasta: 27-year-old rapper-slash-YouTube philosopher DDG has hit the courthouse with a legal uno reverse card, trying to stop his ex, mermaid-turned-movie-mama Halle Bailey, from taking their 1-year-old baby Halo on an Italian movie-making adventure. Why? Because he says she’s a one-woman psychological earthquake with a side of drama marinara.
Now let’s rewind. Halle already got the judge’s ciao bella to go to Italy to film the movie Italianna (yes, with Rege-Jean “Duke of Hotness” Page). But DDG slid in like a last-minute airport security alert, screaming, “EMOTIONAL TURBULENCE INBOUND!” 🚨
In documents that read like a Lifetime movie script written in all caps, DDG accuses Halle of being emotionally unstable, physically aggressive, and even says she used AirTags to turn his car into a Find My iPhone thriller. According to Billboard (and now probably TMZ by the time you read this), he claims she once took his legally owned firearm during an argument and threatened self-harm, making the whole situation a level 10 emotional rollercoaster—no seatbelts included.
Oh, and he brought receipts, aka text messages with spelling that suggests autocorrect gave up on them halfway through:
- “IM GOONG TO KILL MYSWLF TONIGHT”
- “Please take Halo so he doesn’t have to see.”
Not exactly bedtime stories.
DDG says this behavior makes Halle unfit to take their baby boy on an international trip where there’s no California court to yell “order in the court!” when things go sideways. His lawyer was basically like: This isn’t Lizzie McGuire’s Italian dream trip. This is a custody crisis with a side of international panic.
Meanwhile, Halle’s attorney Terry Levich Ross stepped up in court like, “Lies. All lies. That’s not even in the group chat.” OK not in those exact words, but you get it. She said DDG’s claims were “not accurate,” which is lawyer speak for “he’s trippin’.”
The judge didn’t drop the gavel yet—she’s still marinating on this legal spaghetti. But we’ll find out if baby Halo is catching a flight to Italy or staying stateside soon.
- Next hearing: June 24.
- Next drama bomb? Literally any second.
Stay tuned, because this case is giving The Parent Trap meets Keeping Up with the Court Dates — and we’ve only just hit act two. 🍝👶⚖️
