Well this happened. DDG recently hit a major milestone by surpassing one million followers on Twitch, but behind the scenes, the rapper and YouTuber says he’s facing fallout from the ongoing controversy surrounding his ex, Halle Bailey.
Ge this, the Michigan-born artist is currently under fire after Bailey—singer, actress, and the mother of his son Halo—reportedly filed a restraining order and requested custody following accusations of verbal and physical abuse stemming from an alleged incident in January. DDG has denied all claims, but the legal situation remains unresolved and has sparked intense debate across social media.
ICYMI, in the wake of the allegations, DDG says corporate partners are distancing themselves. During a recent livestream, he called out brands that have pulled deals in response to the drama, though he didn’t directly mention Bailey or the legal case. “Yo, I want to be transparent with y’all,” he said on the stream, captured by Hollywood Unlocked. “It’s a whole lot of brands switching up on me right now. I want you brands to know, after all this s**t’s over with, I’m charging y’all quadruple. Tax. [Quintuple], actually.”
As you can imagine if you’ve been paying attention, the former couple’s breakup and custody battle over their son have been messy and highly public, with DDG claiming in the past that Bailey was restricting his access to Halo. Despite the social media storm, his fans and family continue to back him, while others remain critical.
