Singer and actress Halle Bailey made headlines when she was spotted in the front row at an Usher concert with her partner, DDG, a popular YouTuber and rapper, on September 25 in Los Angeles. During the performance, Usher attempted to feed a cherry to Halle, but DDG stepped in, taking the fruit and feeding it to her himself.
This entertaining moment quickly gained traction online, showcasing the couple sharing laughter as Usher approached from the stage. DDG later shared the clip on his Instagram Story, captioning it, “Usher tried to give Halle a cherry in front of me,” accompanied by three laughing emojis.
The viral video has sparked a flurry of reactions online. One Instagram user, @pounddcakee_, humorously compared the “Nice & Slow”hitmaker to baby oil, suggesting he was trying to be smoother. This cheeky comment referenced the recent incident where law enforcement seized 1,000 bottles of baby oil from the home of Sean “Diddy” Combs, Usher’s former mentor, during a raid.
“Usher thinks he slicker than baby oil, ain’t it. DDG said, ‘Aht Aht,’” the user wrote.
Many others chimed in, sharing their own reactions on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
“I’m on DDG’s side; Usher needs to stop going after women who are taken. That was disrespectful of him to do. DDG played that off real good as well,” a user commented.
“Usher really be trying it fam. All them other women but you gone try the one with her man right beside her,” wrote another.
“Nah, Usher too bold,” wrote another.
In contrast, many fans praised DDG for deftly handling the moment.
“That’s his woman, and he gon stick beside herrr,” a fan wrote.
“Not his biggest fan but THIS is how you assert a boundary without being a weirdo and ruining the fun,” another commented.
“DDG said ‘aht aht’ not on my watch lol,” wrote a netizen.
“He laughing but he gon turn that deep voice on Usher after the concert,” another netizen quipped.
Usher’s concert in Los Angeles marked the final stop of his Past Present Future Tour. Earlier last month, he was also seen feeding cherries to two female fans during his concert in Detroit, another moment that went viral.
DDG and Halle Bailey’s Relationship Timeline
Halle Bailey and DDG began dating in early 2022 and welcomed their baby boy, Halo, in December 2023. They were first romantically linked during Usher’s “My Way” residency in Las Vegas in January 2022, when a video circulated of the couple sharing drinks and engaging in conversation. During that moment, Halle was seen exclaiming, “Oh my God!” which fans dubbed as their first public date.
Usher, the artist behind the hit “U Remind Me,”is known for serenading female fans at his concerts, including celebrities like Angel Reese, Gabrielle Union, Janelle Monae, and Saweetie. Recently, Darius Jackson, Keke Palmer’s ex, criticized Usher on social media for allegedly trying to get close to his then-girlfriend.
Usher, who married music executive Jennifer Goicoechea in February of this year and shares two children with her, discussed his history of serenading women in a recent appearance on the Club Shay Shay podcast with host Shannon Sharpe, joking that no man should “leave your girl around me.”
The celebrated artist has also been in the news related to his ex-mentor Sean “Diddy” Combs, who faced serious legal troubles, including charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. Usher’s social media presence briefly drew speculation when he removed all posts, but he later clarified that his account had been hacked.
