Rapper and YouTuber DDG has filed an emergency motion to prevent 'The Little Mermaid' actress, Halle Bailey, from taking their 17-month-old son, Halo, on a trip to Italy.
According to court documents obtained by "PEOPLE", DDG highlights concerns about Bailey's mental health and stability. He claims that Bailey poses an 'imminent emotional and psychological risk' to their son, basing the claims on repeated and documented threats of self-harm.
He reportedly filed the documents on Wednesday, June 4, requesting an emergency hearing, stating that Bailey has made plans to fly out with Halo on Saturday.
Additionally, he is asking the courts to prevent that from happening, stating that Bailey is not mentally well enough to ensure their child is taken care of and that he worries about what she may do should she leave the court's jurisdiction.
According to a recent "TMZ" report, Bailey has filed with the courts to deny the rapper's requests and is asking for permission to be granted for her to take their child to Paris as she has to go work there.
The custody battle between DDG and Bailey has been ongoing, with both parties seeking different arrangements. In May, Bailey accused DDG of physical and emotional abuse and filed for a restraining order.

She later filed for sole custody of Halo, alleging that the 27-year-old rapper has a pattern of abuse against her and being uncooperative with parenting, including hiding their child and threatening to take him away from her.
The 25-year-old actress's request included supervised visits for DDG, to be facilitated by a professional organisation, once a week for six hours while Halo is in Los Angeles (LA).
Bailey also asked the court to restrict DDG from taking Halo outside of LA County, citing concerns about child abduction.
Additionally, she asked the court to order DDG not to move with Halo without her written permission, to surrender any travel documents and provide detailed travel plans if they do travel together.
This included round-trip airline tickets, contact information, and an open ticket for Bailey in case Halo is not returned.

Yolanda Hadid and Joseph Jingoli call it quits after six years together
Yolanda Hadid and Joseph Jingoli have quietly split after being in a relationship for six years. Image: Instagram/Yolanda Hadid US former model and media personality, Yolanda Hadid, and long-time partner, Joseph Jingoli, have ended their six-year relationship. The pair have reportedly decided to go their separate ways quietly back in January this year. The mother of celebrity models, Bella and Gigi Hadid, first met Jingoli in 2017, two years after her divorce from David Foster. In August 2024, Jingoli popped the question and proposed to the 61-year-old while they were on a trip to Holland. Despite making multiple public appearances together, the former couple have kept their relationship matters private. According to 'People', a source revealed that despite their split, they remain good friends. 'They remain friends and have nothing but fond memories of their time together,' the source shared. In an interview with 'People' in 2018, Yolanda shared that before meeting Jongoli, she wanted to take time and heal from not only her Lyme disease, but also her divorce. 'I really wanted to take the time, this time, to heal from not only Lyme disease but my divorce and really step into my own power as an independent woman… And so I really took that time, I didn't want to date, I didn't want to meet anybody,' she shared. She further explained how she ultimately 'manifested' Jingoli while she was on her healing journey. 'I made a love spiral and wrote down exactly everything that was important to me in a man, and he magically just rang the doorbell at the farm,' Yolanda revealed. In honour of their 2nd anniversary, she penned a heart-warming Instagram post showing appreciation to Jingoli. 'All my life I prayed for someone like you!! Hank you for being such a bright light in my life, the calm in my storm and for being the most honourable man that I know… Happy 2-year anniversary, Joey Jingoli. I love and appreciate you,' she captioned her post.

'So, I'm very happy that she's admitting to having that done but I think a year ago she said she regretted it,' the celebrity plastic surgeon said. In one of the episodes of 'The Kardashians' in 2023, the beauty mogul admitted that she wished she never got her breasts done. Dr Dubrow added: 'So the message you're giving out … I think she should say it's great, but I think it's important that she caution people. She had it at age 19. Age 19 is not cool to have a breast augmentation, right? It's pretty young.

Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson call it QUITS
After nearly eight years of an on-and-off romance, Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson have called it quits – and sources say this time, it's final. Multiple insiders confirmed that the Coldplay frontman, 48, and the Materialists actress, 35, have officially ended their relationship. 'It feels final this time,' one source said of the separation. Representatives for both stars have not responded to requests for comment. The couple, who first sparked romance rumours in 2017, were last seen together publicly just two weeks ago on May 16, enjoying a low-key outing in Malibu. Earlier this year in January, the pair were spotted hand-in-hand in India during Coldplay's tour. In March, an insider told PEOPLE that Martin and Johnson had quietly been engaged 'for years,' following widespread speculation since 2020. 'They were in no rush to get married,' the source added at the time. Though breakup rumours emerged last August, Johnson's rep swiftly denied them, insisting the couple was 'happily together.' At the time, a source echoed that sentiment: 'Sure, they've had issues and taken breaks in the past, but things are great now. They both love their careers. They are balancing things the best they can.' Despite that optimism, it appears the challenges in their relationship ultimately proved too great. Dakota Johnson had spoken warmly about her connection with Chris Martin's children from his previous marriage to Gwyneth Paltrow – Apple, 21, and Moses, 19. 'I love those kids like my life depends on it,' she said last year. She also expressed admiration for Chris Martin's artistry: 'I could watch him every day… I feel like I'm watching my most favourite being do his most favourite thing.' Johnson, known for her role in Fifty Shades of Grey , is currently promoting her new romantic comedy Materialists , which hits theatres on Friday, 13 June.
