DDG came to his ex-girlfriend Halle Bailey’s defense after she called him out online.
In a YouTube video posted on Thursday, the 27-year-old rapper addressed the controversy and came out in support of his ex.
This comes after the actress, 24, spoke out about DDG after he featured their son Halo on a livestream earlier this week without her consent.
After he brought their 11-month-old son on YouTuber Kai Cenat’s Twitch livestream on Wednesday, the Little Mermaid star took to X, formerly Twitter, to call out DDG.
In a since-deleted tweet, she wrote: ‘Hi everyone. Just so you know I am out of town and I don’t approve of my baby being on a stream tonight.

‘I wasn’t told or notified and I am extremely upset to have my baby in front of millions of people,’ the singer continued. ‘I am his mother and protector and saddened that I wasn’t notified especially when I am out of town.’
In a follow-up tweet, that’s also since been deleted, Bailey confessed that she’s been battling ‘severe postpartum’ and shaded DDG for not respecting her ‘boundaries.’
‘As a woman experiencing severe postpartum, there are boundaries that I wish to be respected. no one knows what someone is going through until they snap,’ she penned.
The following day, she issued a second statement and said she might have ‘overreact[ed].’
In a tweet, she wrote: ‘Yesterday maybe I did overreact and shouldn’t have brought it here. I know that Halo is always safe with his dad. I just don’t like finding out with the rest of the world what my baby is doing.’
After Bailey received backlash for publicly criticizing DDG, he stood up for her in a video he titled: ‘Finally responding to Halle…’
‘One thing I don’t like when people do, I don’t like when people hate on Halle,’ he said. ‘I don’t care if people think she wrong or not, or if I think she wrong or right.’
DDG continued: ‘She could be going through something mentally after having a kid that I can’t understand as a man.’

The rapper said that their son was ‘the biggest blessing’ and extended his gratitude to his ex-girlfriend, adding that he wouldn’t be a father without her. ‘For that reason alone, I got unconditional love and respect for her that nobody can really change,’ he explained
Back in April, Bailey spoke candidly about struggling with postpartum depression.
‘So when situations like this happen, I try to handle it with as much grace as possible because Halo needs her. I need her. We need each other to create a childhood that’s safe and fun and memorable for him.’
