DDG has spoken out claiming he hasn’t been able to consistently spend time with his 15-month-old son, Halo, whom he shares with Halle Bailey.
On Friday (March 7), DDG posted a vlog titled “She Won’t Let Me See My Son..” making fans question what’s happening with his relationship with Bailey, as the couple split last October. After months of rumors about Bailey’s pregnancy, the actress and singer welcomed Halo in December 2023.
While DDG and Bailey have shown a united front when with their son, the former couple’s issues became public when Halo appeared on a Kai Cenat livestream, which Bailey didn’t approve of. The Little Mermaid star later apologized after publicly sharing her concerns, but it seems she and DDG have been dealing with underlying problems for quite some time.
“I just want to be able to see my son when I want to see my son take my son when I want to take my son,” DDG explained at the beginning of the video below. “Like, I don’t care if this makes me look childish, If I look like I’m on the internet crazy, whatever–I don’t care, bro. I don’t care what nobody thinks. I literally just want to be in my son’s life.”
The streamer and rapper also claimed he’s being “bullied” because he’s not considered a “primary parent.”
“It’s like, I just don’t know what to do at this point. I don’t know what to do. And that’s why I just like, Maybe this will make her want to have to let me see my son.”
While DDG admitted he does occasionally see his son, it’s for “very minimal time.” The Michigan native also claimed that the reason he’s been streaming with women all week is because he can’t “be a dad” when he wants to.
“I don’t give a… about hanging around no girls; I want to be around my son, you feel me?” he said. “But since I can’t be around my son, I’m obviously going to work. I’m not going to sit in the crib look at the wall and cry about this shit.”
DDG mentioned that even after driving for “hours” to visit Halo, he’s unable to see the 15-month-old, who he wants to “comfort.”
“I don’t get the chance to do that I get pinned against the wall and then everything else is variables on why I can’t see my son.”
While DDG and Bailey have “not been together for a long time,” the streamer insisted he has no idea why he’s being kept from seeing Halo.
“It’s been going on for a minute where I just never got on the internet and said nothing,” DDG continued. “I mean I might like throw little subliminals or some shit.”
He claimed he’s tried everything possible and feels like he’s treated as Halo’s “nanny,” though he doesn’t even know the actual nanny’s name. “I’ve been dealing with this since he had been born damn-near,” DDG emphasized.
The day before, DDG mentioned he hadn’t planned on streaming because he wanted to spend time with his son. “And then I get here I get there and I can’t and I’m kicked out of the crib, can’t see him, whatever. Mind you we have our own lives,” he explained about his co-parenting situation with Bailey.
DDG emphasized that they’re not in a relationship anymore and he constantly feels like a “secondary parent.”
“Luckily, my son is only 1, so I don’t have to worry about him feeling like, ‘Oh, my my pop’s not there.’ Every time I’m there, he’s got a smile on his face,” he continued. “He’s happy to see me but he only can see me for no more than 48 hours. I haven’t had to have my son to myself for longer than 72 hours max.”
Now, DDG wants “repercussions,” insisting that he’s “not a deadbeat.”
“I have inspired dads across the world to want to be in their kid’s life. Why make it harder for me?” he questioned.
DDG added that because Bailey seems to have a “golden image” that he’s “protected,” he feels their co-parenting arrangement is “foul.”
DDG also feels like his ex-girlfriend acts like his “second mom” who he has to ask permission from, noting that he’s never taken Halo out of state. “‘Can I take our son somewhere?’ But if she want to get up and leave the country and leave the state, I get no say so whatsoever,” he complained. “I can’t say one word, because she tells me that she’s the primary parent. It’s not cool, bro It’s not fair, bro.”
“I don’t give a fuck who she talk to, who her nigga is, who she filming movies with, I don’t give a fuck. I care about my son,” he stated. “That’s all I care about.”
He added, “And when that’s taken from me, she know that’s the only way I get frustrated. That’s the only way she can get under my skin, because I don’t care what she does.”
DDG once again stressed that he and Bailey hadn’t been together for a “long time,” and were possibly “on and off” for a while before finally ending their relationship for good.
“I was there the whole process. Pulling his head out, everything,” he said about Halo’s birth. “I should have just as much say so as possible. It’s not cool, bro.”
