Itโs never a good sign when a former couple canโt get along after they split, but itโs especially disheartening to see when that couple shares a child together. And thatโs exactly the case when it comes to Halle Bailey, DDG and their one-year-old son Halo.

Though they split back in October 2024, things have remained on the rocks when it comes to their coparenting situation. But now, it looks like things have escalated thanks to DDGโs recently released diss track and recently-deleted posts on social media blasting Bailey for allegedly not allowing him to see their child.
As captured by TMZ, DDG took to X/Twitter to vent his frustrations with โThe Little Mermaidโ star, writing in the post: โbeen fighting to see my son for months nowโฆ shoutout to all the Dads who try their best to be there. this sh*t sucks.โ
Though he eventually took that post down, he further echoed his sentiments by hopping on YouTube to go into more details about the unfair situation in a nearly 12-minute-long video. Describing how he doesnโt like not being able to see his son whenever he wants, DDG went on to say that he doesnโt get to get his song for longer than 48 hours and that he ultimately just wants to be a consistent presence in his sons life. However, he also made it clear that while the situation is less than ideal, he doesnโt want to get the legal system involved and hoped that putting public pressure on Bailey via the internet would be enough to get her to bend a little.
The video also comes after DDG alleged that he was โkicked outโ when he tried to visit his child a week prior.
โI donโt like putting yโall in my business, but I donโt know what else to do. But I know the internet moves people. I just want to see my son, thatโs it. I love being a dad and I want to be a dad, plain and simple. I think Iโm the first nigga to ever be canceled for wanting to be a dad,โ he said in part.
He continued:
โLike, I donโt care if this makes me look childish, if I look like Iโm on the internet crazy, whatever. I donโt care, bro. I donโt care what nobody thinks. I literally just want to be in my sonโs life.
And as if his vlog wasnโt enough, DDG decided to then double down on his feelings by dropping yet another diss track aimed at Bailey (the first one came amid the starโs press run for โThe Little Mermaidโ back in 2023). Titled โDonโt Take My Son,โ the song contained a sliver of the same complaints and a few surprising linesโchief among them being that Bailey was trying to make him pay in order to see his son.
โTryna make me pay to see my son, thatโs gonna make me hot/Itโs not about the money, itโs more about the principle, you know Iโm rich,โ the lyrics read in part.
Naturally, as the drama continued to unfold, folks hopped on social media to add their two cents with many siding with Bailey and chiding DDGโs antics.
โDDG thght heโd always have access to Halle bc of Halo and her boundaries are showing him otherwise. He canโt handle that, so heโs weaponizing social media. How does that help the situation,โ wrote one user on X/Twitter.
โDDG is weaponizing his fanbase to attack Halle. And this is not his first time doing this,โ said another.
One other user questioned: โDDGโs assertion that he should be able to show up unannounced at his baby mamaโs house because they have a child is hilarious because no man would agree to the inverse. Can you imagine how heโd crash out if she was always showing up unannounced bc she had his kid?โ
โDDG did all that yapping just to release that diss track...a trash one too, I just know Halle canโt stand him,โ said another.
Bailey has yet to publicly respond to the diss nor the video.
