Hey everyone, welcome back! Today, we’re talking about the news that Halle Bailey and DDG have reportedly broken up. If you’ve been following them, you probably already know that DDG recently made the announcement. Honestly, my first thought was that he could be trolling or maybe just trying to stir up some publicity. So, I held off from reacting until Halle said something. But so far, she hasn’t made any official statement or had her team confirm anything. That makes me think this could just be a temporary thing—they might even get back together soon.
Now, I know some people are actually happy about the breakup, which is a little sad, especially since Halle and DDG just had a baby together. I don’t really think it’s something to celebrate when a family splits up. It’s never easy when a couple with a child goes their separate ways. In fact, I believe having a baby is when you should work the hardest to stay together if possible. But hey, life doesn’t always go that way. Sometimes, people end up having kids without having built a solid foundation, and it’s unfortunate when things don’t work out.
Personally, I started to like them as a couple. After their son Halo was born, seeing how they interacted as parents made me see them in a different light. I wasn’t a fan of DDG at first—especially with how he acted when Halle was promoting The Little Mermaid. It felt like he was taking away from her moment. And let’s not forget that drama with Ruby Rose. DDG texting his ex while he was with Halle? Huge red flag. He later admitted in an interview with Vlad TV that he texted Ruby just to be petty because he and Halle were going through a rough patch at the time. According to him, Halle knew about the text because he did it right in front of her, but still… it all just felt really toxic to me.
There were a few things about DDG that used to put me off, but over time, he grew on me. He became more likable, especially after becoming a dad. But the thing with DDG is, he’s always doing things for attention, and honestly, I don’t think that really fits with Halle’s image. I think she went along with it for a while because she was in love, so she allowed some things she normally wouldn’t. Halle strikes me as a private person, but since she was dating DDG, she let him include their baby in his content. At first, it was cute—they even made memes of their son, Halo. But after a while, it started to feel like too much, and I think that might’ve played a part in their relationship falling apart.
Now, I don’t know exactly what went down, so I’m not going to act like I do, but this is just my guess. I remember Halle got really upset at someone who made a comment on a video DDG posted. In the video, Halo was online with him, which was pretty normal since DDG used their son for content a lot. Someone commented, “She put her rising career on hold for this mess? I can’t respect her for that, sorry.” I think Halle saw the comment and ended up tweeting, “I’m so tired of people thinking it’s okay to talk about my career and my child. Leave us alone. I reject every negative word on this app, and I hope the people so worried about my life put that energy into themselves. God will keep protecting my family.”
It seems like Halle has really reached her limit with all the chatter surrounding her son and her career. She’s been under a lot of scrutiny, especially since people have been critical of her for getting pregnant with DDG’s baby during such a crucial phase in her career. What’s particularly interesting is that she was pregnant during the promotional tour for The Little Mermaid, and nobody even knew at the time. Her career was on the brink of taking off, and while having a baby doesn’t necessarily derail anyone’s career — and she’s already accomplished so much — this was such a pivotal moment where she could have pursued various opportunities and roles. But because of her pregnancy, she had to take a step back.
To avoid public judgment, she tried to keep her pregnancy under wraps, which confused a lot of people. However, many seemed more concerned about her relationship with DDG, feeling that he had trapped her and that being with him was diminishing her image.
Halle has faced a ton of criticism, and it’s understandable that it would wear her down. Seeing people talk about her son must be incredibly frustrating. I completely understand why she would lash out when people bring up Halo. It must be hard for her to watch her son’s life play out in the public eye, especially since DDG, being a content creator, often shares everything for clout. His intentions might not have been malicious, but it seems like it became too much for Halle. This might be one of the significant issues they’re dealing with.
You know, it’s likely that there were a ton of issues in their relationship that led to the breakup. I wouldn’t be shocked if infidelity was involved, but honestly, I think the constant posts about Halo really caused some tension. But what do you all think? Is this breakup for real? Personally, I feel like they have their struggles, but I don’t think they’re going to stay separated for long. I have this feeling that DDG is just doing a rollout for his music and pretending to be single. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s seen with another girl, but I bet he’ll end up back with Halle eventually. That’s just my take on it, and I could be wrong, but it feels like a big publicity stunt.
Now, the big question is: Does Halle know about all this? She might, or she might be completely in the dark, but either way, it seems like she’s being used in this whole situation. It’s a shame that her personal life is becoming such a spectacle, especially since we know her for her incredible music and acting—not this relationship drama. DDG loves the spotlight, and it seems like he’s going to milk this breakup for all it’s worth. It kind of feels like he’s taking a page out of Offset and Cardi B’s playbook. You know how they thrive on PR stunts, right? Just recently, they were online fighting about their relationship, with Cardi acting like she might walk away while Offset was losing it over her allegedly cheating on him during her pregnancy. It was all just a show for everyone to see, and yet here they are, still together—like when Offset was dancing at Cardi’s grandma’s birthday party, all smiles and looking happy. That’s when I knew this whole situation was just another publicity stunt.
Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if DDG staged a PR stunt like this. But who knows? I could be completely wrong. This breakup might actually be the real deal.
Now, let’s talk about DDG’s reaction to Joe Budden calling him a clout chaser. After the news about his split with Halle came out, Joe had some strong words that really seemed to hit a nerve with DDG. He basically said he didn’t even know who DDG was: “The question I’ve been asking myself for quite some time is: Who the f** is DDG, and why am I supposed to care about his thoughts on anything?”
Joe went on to say, “I’m really glad they broke up, honestly. I just don’t want to keep seeing this guy’s name linked to hers when I don’t know anything about him on his own. It’s important for me to recognize people for their own merits and what they’ve accomplished. I don’t even know enough about her! I’m not her target audience, and I’m definitely not his, but every time I see his name, it just irritates me.”
So yeah, Joe was really laying it out there, suggesting that DDG is just riding on Halle’s coattails. It’s not too crazy to think that a lot of people who don’t follow DDG only know him because of his relationship with her.
