Whew, the Halle Bailey x DDG saga is starting to feel like a plot twist in a reality show we didn’t ask to subscribe to— but here we are.
In case you missed it, our real-life little mermaid Halle Bailey was granted a restraining order against her ex, rapper and streamer DDG, last week. The court order reportedly tells him to stay 100 yards away, stop talking about her and their baby, and absolutely no messy livestream rants about their business.
Which, let’s be honest, is probably for the best — because DDG has a history of saying a little too much with a mic and a chat box in front of him.
BUT! Just as things started to quiet down… enter the streamer besties.
Yes, ladies. It looks like DDG’s online crew has taken it upon themselves to keep his name (and narrative) alive. Over the weekend, two of his streaming friends posted nearly identical claims accusing Halle of being the real villain in the relationship — suggesting she was emotionally harmful to DDG and even accusing her of being “manipulative.” The twist? The wording between both videos was almost identical, like someone handed them a press release.
So now fans are raising eyebrows and asking: Did DDG hand out talking points? Is this PR or just messy loyalty?
Social media isn’t having it. Many pointed out how quickly the “deflection tour” began after the restraining order was filed, with one user tweeting, “How y’all copy-pasting statements like it’s a group project and still flunking??” Another chimed in, “You got a court order telling you to stop talking — so you send your boys instead? Real mature.”
Let’s not forget: Halle has remained classy and private through the whole ordeal. She hasn’t clapped back, hasn’t gone live, and hasn’t spilled one ounce of tea — even though she definitely could. She’s over here soft-launching her motherhood, glowing at red carpets, and keeping her peace.
Meanwhile, DDG’s circle seems more interested in internet damage control than actual accountability. And let’s be clear: getting your homeboys to fight your battles isn’t the flex some think it is. It’s giving high school group chat energy, not grown-man behavior.
For now, the restraining order is in place, and DDG is legally required to keep Halle’s name out of his mouth and off his stream. Whether his friends continue to do the talking for him remains to be seen — but the court of public opinion is side-eying it hard.
Moral of the story? If the judge says stop talking, maybe don’t let your friends hit record on your behalf. And Halle? Sis is unbothered, moisturized, and minding her business — as she should.
Stay tuned. This tea’s still steeping.
