Halle Bailey Granted Temporary Custody of Son After Getting Restraining Order Against DDG
Halle Bailey was awarded temporary sole physical and legal custody of her son amid the ongoing abuse allegations against her ex-boyfriend DDG. According to a Friday (May 16) report by People, court documents obtained by the publication indicate that Bailey sought out the custody order for the safety of both herself and 16-month-old Halo, alleging to the court that the Blame the Chat rapper abused her both physically and emotionally on multiple occasions.

Billboard has reached out to representatives for both Bailey and DDG for comment. The 'Angel' singer's petition for custody was filed in the wake of her also being granted a temporary restraining order against DDG, which requires him to stay more than 100 yards away from both mother and son through June 4, which is when the former couple's next court hearing is scheduled. Meanwhile, DDG accused Bailey of keeping baby Halo away from him back in March via his single 'Don't Take My Son.' At the time, he claimed via a Twitch livestream that he actively wanted to avoid going to court, as a legal proceeding 'makes everything more messy than what it is.' After giving birth to Halo in December 2023, Bailey split from DDG nearly a year later in October 2024. According to a different set of court documents obtained by Billboard, the singer alleged that DDG's physical abuse started at the beginning of this year, during an altercation while dropping Halo off in his care.

DDG appeals to Halle Bailey to reach custody agreement
DDG has urged Halle Bailey to reach a "clear understanding" over custody of their son. The former couple split in October and the rapper - whose real name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr. - wants to spend more time with 15-month-old Halo, but would rather not take the matter to court. In a livestream shared to YouTube over the weekend, he said: 'I don't want to go to court. It's going to get extremely messy and it don't have to happen. I think it's in her best interest to not want to go to court either, where we can just have a clear understanding. 'We go to court, the judge is going to give me some time. And when I got the time, I'm gonna do whatever I want with my son. "I don't want to go to court because it's going to make her unhappy.' The 27-year-old rapper has shared a song called 'Don't Take My Son' and explained he was moved to pen the track out of frustration and annoyance over his desire to see Halo. The lyrics of the song include: 'Don't take my son / 'Cause he all I got / Trying to make me pay to see my son / That going to make me hot.' He explained in the livestream: 'I just don't want it to come to the point where he's like, 'Alright, my pops not around'. That's my main thing. I was more frustrated and annoyed than anything. 'I've been dealing with this s*** for a long time. I never spoke on it for the simple fact that I don't like putting y'all in my real life business but I'm like, 'Okay, I don't know what else to do.'' In November, Halle, 25, slammed her former partner for broadcasting their baby on his livestream shortly after they had separated. She posted on X : '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. 'I am his mother and protector and saddened that I wasn't notified.' The 'Little Mermaid' actress then deleted her account on the social media platform.
