DDG's Mom Responds After Court Grants Halle Bailey A Restraining Order Against Him
DDG's mother, Tonya Granberry, has broken her silence following the court's decision to grant Halle Bailey a temporary restraining order against her son, rapper and YouTuber DDG.
The legal action stems from allegations of physical and verbal abuse, as well as concerns for the safety of their 17-month-old son, Halo.
The situation has garnered significant public attention, prompting DDG's family to address the matter publicly.
Social media is in a frenzy as DDG's mom, Granberry, has responded to the accusations leveled against her son in a restraining order filed by Halle Bailey.
On May 13, the YouTube personality took to her Instagram Stories, calling the allegations a lie.
'I don't usually comment or say anything on this internet even with all the negativity, the lies and hatred towards mine,' she said.
Granberry then noted that Bailey's accusations against her made her realize she had been quiet for too long.
A few hours before the post, Granberry shared a meme, seemingly referring to the situation.
She posted a picture of Kermit the Frog on the phone at a phone booth, with the words 'Hello Jesus, take the wheel' boldly written.
Shortly after Granberry responded, The Shade Room reposted, igniting a wave of reactions.
Many fans took Halle Bailey's side, accusing Granberry of enabling her son. 'Now I believe he did it for real because only men that do this mamas act like this lmao,' one fan commented.
A second user shared, 'She's enabling him. She doesn't want her lifestyle to change smhhh,' while a third penned, 'A lot of mothers raised monsters and act like they don't know it. Then when someone tells them, they act surprised. I know you saw the signs.'
On the other hand, some fans took Granberry's side. 'It's crazy how y'all trynna disrespect his mama. This woman barely speak or say anything about DDG past relationship publicly except today. She been on YouTube ever since her son DDG moved her to LA but y'all never seen or heard her on any messy sh-t publicly,' one person said.
On May 13, 2025, a Los Angeles judge granted Bailey a temporary restraining order against DDG, citing multiple instances of alleged abuse.
According to court documents, Bailey accused DDG of physical assault during a January incident, where he allegedly pulled her hair and slammed her face into a steering wheel, resulting in a chipped tooth and bruises.
'I realize that there is no placating Darryl. I cannot allow this abuse any longer,' she said in the court documents, per PEOPLE Magazine.
Besides physical abuse, Bailey also alleged verbal abuse, noting that her ex would often call her 'b-tch' and 'evil' in front of their son. Additionally, she reported that whenever DDG wanted to upset her, he would badmouth her to millions of fans.
The restraining order mandates that DDG stay at least 100 yards away from Bailey and their son, including Halo's school and Bailey's vehicle. A court hearing is scheduled for June 6 to determine whether the order will be extended.
Bailey and DDG began dating in 2022 and ultimately split in 2024.
The streamer announced their breakup in a post on his Instagram Stories, revealing that it wasn't an easy decision but the best path for both of them.
Following their split, the pair's co-parenting relationship became tumultuous.
In November 2024, the 'Little Mermaid' actress indirectly called out DDG for involving Halo in an online streaming episode with Kai Cenat.
Although Halo's appearance excited fans and viewers, Bailey disapproved, especially as she claimed it was done without her consent.
'Hi everyone, just so you know, I am out of town, and I don't approve of my baby in front of millions of people," she wrote in the now-deleted social media post, per The Blast. "I wasn't told or notified, and I am extremely upset to have my baby in front of millions of people. I am his mother and protector, and saddened that I wasn't notified, especially when I am out of town."
Many hoped the co-parenting feud would only span a few weeks, but unfortunately, it continued for months.
In March 2025, DDG accused Bailey of preventing him from seeing their son.
During one of his livestreams, the rapper said he wasn't a fan of airing personal matters online, but he was left with no choice as Bailey allegedly frustrated his attempts at being a dad.
He said, per Complex, "I just want to be able to see my son when I want to see my son, take my son when I want to take my son. Like, I don't care if this makes me look childish, if I look like I'm on the internet crazy, whatever – I don't care, bro. I don't care what nobody thinks. I literally just want to be in my son's life."
DDG also clarified that he wasn't a 'deadbeat,' adding that there needed to be 'repercussions' for his inability to see Halo.

Bay Area legend gets the national spotlight on NPR's ‘Tiny Desk' concert series
E-40 is commemorating the 30th anniversary of his breakthrough album, 'In A Major Way,' in — well, a major way. The Vallejo rapper recently made an appearance on NPR's 'Tiny Desk,' bringing the sounds of the hyphy movement to the nation's capital to help kick off Black Music Month. During the nearly 30-minute performance on the popular YouTube concert series, released Monday, June 2, E-40 delivered hits from across his discography — from 1994's 'Captain Save a Hoe' to 2006's 'U and Dat' and 2014's 'Choices (Yup)' — while backed by a live band. A pioneer in the Bay Area rap scene who played a significant role in popularizing the hyphy movement, a style of uptempo, 'hyperactive' hip-hop music, E-40 was invited to join former President Joe Biden during a post-debate rally, performed at the NBA All-Star Game when it was held in San Francisco earlier this year and even has a road in his hometown named after him. Most recently, he spent Memorial Day weekend in Wine Country for two BottleRock Napa Valley performances. He also filmed a still-to-be-released episode of the ABC game show 'Celebrity Family Feud' alongside fellow Bay Area rapper Too Short and Atlanta rapper Lil Jon. Season 12 of the show is set to premiere July 10. E-40's guest performance comes shortly after San Lorenzo native Ruby Ibarra performed on the NPR show, after winning the 2025 'Tiny Desk' contest in May. Ibarra beat out nearly 7,500 other artist submissions with a performance of her latest single, 'Bakunawa.' As her prize, she got to film an intimate ' Tiny Desk' concert, released Thursday, May 29, and is now set to headline 'Tiny Desk' contest's On The Road Tour, which begins Wednesday, June 11, at the Regent Theater in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, E-40 is also planning some live performances following his 'Tiny Desk' concert. He is set to headline the fifth annual Mare Island Dock of Bay Festival in his hometown of Vallejo on Sept. 6. Other local rappers such as LaRussell, Baby Bash and Con Funk Shun are also scheduled to perform.

Chris Pratt and Nick Offerman mourn death of 'Parks and Recreation' castmate Jonathan Joss
Chris Pratt and Nick Offerman paid tribute to their "Parks and Recreation" castmate Jonathan Joss following the actor's death this week. Joss was fatally shot in front of his San Antonio, Texas, home on Sunday by one of his neighbors, police said. He was 59. The actor had a recurring role as Chief Ken Hotate in the hit NBC sitcom. "Damn. RIP Jonathan. Always such a kind dude," Pratt, who had his breakthrough role as Andy Dwyer in the series, wrote on his Instagram story on Monday. "Sad to see. Prayers up. Hug your loved ones." Offerman, who starred in "Parks and Recreation" as Ron Swanson, told People magazine on Tuesday that he and other co-stars have been in contact since Joss' death. "The cast has been texting together about it all day and we're just heartbroken," Offerman said. "Jonathan was such a sweet guy and we loved having him as our Chief Ken Hotate. A terrible tragedy." "Sex and the City" star Cynthia Nixon, who was not on the sitcom, also paid her respects to Joss. She shared an image of the late actor on Instagram on Tuesday. "Was devastated to learn of the killing last night of the wonderfully talented actor and musician Jonathan Joss, who my family and I enjoyed so much in Parks and Recreation," she wrote. Nixon also repeated claims by Joss' husband that the actor was targeted because of his sexuality. "We will not let this stand," she said. The San Antonio Police Department said in a statement on Monday there was "no evidence" that Joss' killing was motivated by hate, but said the suspect would be charged accordingly "should any new evidence come to light." Conversations with Joss' neighbors and several police reports of prior incidents between Joss and the man arrested for his killing — Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja — paint a complicated picture of what led to the fatal shooting. Joss and Ceja were in a heated back and forth for years that was being mediated by a police crime prevention unit, according to police records and statements shared with NBC News. Ceja could not be reached for comment. The 56-year-old does not have a lawyer, according to the Bexar County District Clerk's Office. In addition to his role on "Parks and Recreation," Joss was also known for his role as John Redcorn in Fox's animated sitcom 'King of the Hill.' The animated series was rebooted and will premiere on Hulu in August, with Joss returning as Redcorn This article was originally published on

Bryson DeChambeau is back to competing, preparing for US Open title defense after 'fun side quests'
GAINESVILLE, Va. (AP) — As much as Bryson DeChambeau loves to practice and compete, the U.S. Open champion also appreciates the limited LIV Golf schedule that gives him time to pursue other interests. DeChambeau arrived at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club for LIV Golf Virginia after a characteristically busy few days that included a round of golf with President Donald Trump and some short-game practice on the South Lawn of the White House. Now the big-hitting YouTube star turns his attention to the 54-hole LIV event that starts Friday at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club. He said the thick rough and fast greens at RTJ would help prepare him for Oakmont, where he will try next week to win his third U.S. Open after triumphs last year at Pinehurst No. 2 and in 2020 at Winged Foot. 'I think LIV afforded me the opportunity to spend more time thinking, strategizing, getting my body healthy, ready for majors in a pretty unique way,' DeChambeau said Wednesday. 'For me, it was a great thing. I thought there was an opportunity to do other things in life, and look, do I want to win every single tournament I show up to? 100%.' The RTJ event is the eighth of 14 tournaments this year for the globetrotting, Saudi-funded LIV Golf League. Although PGA Tour players have more freedom to set their own schedules, they typically play more often. For top-ranked Scottie Scheffler, the U.S. Open will be the fourth of five events in a seven-week stretch. DeChambeau hasn't competed since last month's PGA Championship, won by Scheffler. While DeChambeau was enjoying a friendly round with Trump and posting a YouTube short in which he hit golf balls from the top of a mountain and the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, Scheffler was finishing off his third win of the past month at the Memorial. 'I've been doing some fun side quests, yes, there's no doubt,' DeChambeau said. When he does compete, nobody practices harder than DeChambeau. He hit 1,029 range balls — more than anyone else in the field — at the Masters, where he finished in a tie for fifth. The 31-year-old DeChambeau said he developed his practice habits as a teenager, when other junior golfers in California were beating him even though they didn't appear to try as hard. 'It stemmed from me not being as good as others and then realizing I can only be as good as how hard I work,' DeChambeau said. 'So I just became obsessed with hitting crazy amounts of golf balls.' Known for trying to optimize his swing and his equipment to produce a consistent ball flight — a long, high draw — DeChambeau also spends time practicing the unusual shots he needs to finish off tournaments. 'As much as I am a robot, and try to swing it as straight as possible and just stable as possible, I still do have to hit cuts and draws and hit weird shots every once in a while,' he said. 'Giving myself those opportunities in the bunker, in the bush, whatever, has only aided in my golf career.' Mickelson nears the end After he shocked the golf world four years ago by winning the PGA Championship at age 50, Phil Mickelson had a moment of honest self-assessment. 'It's very possible that this is the last tournament I ever win. Like if I'm being realistic,' Mickelson said on that triumphant Sunday at Kiawah Island. Mickelson hasn't won since, and while he wasn't eager to reflect Wednesday on a career that includes six major titles and just as many famous near-misses, he indicated his competitive future is limited. He said he wants to help his teammates on LIV's HyFlyers squad and would step away if he's no longer doing that. 'I'm also going to be 55 in a couple weeks, so I want to be realistic there, too. I want this team to succeed. I don't want to hold it back,' Mickelson said. 'If I'm holding it back, then it's time for me to move on and get somebody else in here.' Mickelson also acknowledged the possibility that Oakmont will be his last U.S. Open. He has a record six runner-up finishes at the national championship, the only major he hasn't won. 'There's a high likelihood that it will be,' Mickelson said, 'but I haven't really thought about it too much.' The USGA gave Mickelson a special exemption to the 2021 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, which he ultimately didn't need because he won at Kiawah a month earlier. Nonetheless, the U.S. Open historically does not grant more than one special exemption to any player, and Mickelson has missed the past three U.S. Open cuts. He remains exempt for the other three majors as a past champion. ___
