“Using Your Baby for Sympathy Is Not the Move” — Online Reactions to DDG’s Plea for Kindness Post Halle Bailey Breakup

The recent breakup between DDG and Halle Bailey has become a hot topic, leaving many fans in disbelief. Adding to the drama, the rapper found himself in a dispute with Joe Budden, who commented on the split during his podcast, provoking a response from DDG, who took issue with Budden’s remarks.

On October 9, 2024, DDG took to X to share a post that quickly gained traction. In the photo, he is seen with his son, Halo, accompanied by a playful caption that reads:

“Stop being mean to my dada – halo.”

The response to DDG’s post was mixed, with a significant number of users criticizing the rapper, whose full name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., for seemingly leveraging his child’s name to deflect criticism following his breakup with Halle Bailey. One user expressed dissatisfaction by commenting:

“Using your baby for sympathy ain’t it.”

Further expressions of discontent followed, as many felt it was inappropriate for Darryl to involve his child in this personal matter.

“That baby nothing but a prop to you,”one user remarked.

“Using a baby to guilt trip us into forgiving you is completely manipulative, unfair and totally working,”another commenter asserted.

In addition, many netizens reacted directly to the message purportedly from Halo, critiquing its authenticity.

“‘I never said that shii,’”one user jokingly remarked as if speaking for Halo.

“‘Stop taking pics and go make up with my mommy’ – halo,”another quipped.

“That baby ain’t say dat sh*t,”a third user chimed in.

Additionally, some commenters accused Darryl of exploiting his family circumstances for personal gain.

“Got his whole family in a clout chasing concentration camp cuz the music ain’t getting the bills paid,”wrote one user.

“Yo bro you don’t deserve your girl,”another said.

“He prolly think he getting kidnapped,”a user humorously commented on behalf of his son.

Days After the Announcement, DDG Opens Up About His Breakup

On October 3, 2024, DDG formally announced his breakup with Halle Bailey via an Instagram story. He expressed how difficult the decision was and shared:

“I cherish the time we’ve spent together and the love we’ve shared. Despite the changes in our relationship, our love for each other remains deep and true. We are still best friends and adore each other. As we focus on our individual journeys and our roles as co-parents, we cherish the bond we’ve built and the beautiful moments we’ve shared.”

Further discussing their relationship on his No Ordinary Podcast on October 7, Darryl reflected on the negativity directed towards him, stating that Halle is a “princess”and calling her the greatest person he has ever encountered. He lamented:

“People feel like I didn’t belong to the industry or the music industry and this and that. That’s what I feel like, especially me being with Halle. She’s a superstar; she’s the greatest ever.”

DDG also asserted that there was a special reason behind their union and the birth of their child, characterizing himself and Halle as family. He pointed out that fans often forget to consider the repercussions their words might have on his family.

Darryl emphasized the importance of being mindful of what is said about them, explaining:

“I feel like people should keep that in their head when they talk about us. You’re talking about our family. You need to relax. I feel like y’all don’t consider that at all. If I’m hurting, you know, that can be hurting my baby that you love so much.”

The romance between DDG and Halle Bailey was made public when he shared a birthday tribute for her on Instagram, later deleted, but they were seen together at several events. In January of this year, the pair announced the arrival of their son, Halo.
