UPDATE! Halle Bailey has been granted temporary sole physical and legal custody of her 17-month-old son, Halo. This decision follows serious allegations of physical and emotional abuse by her ex-partner and son’s father, rapper DDG (Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.). On Wednesday, a judge put in place a temporary restraining order requiring DDG to remain at least 100 yards away from Bailey and Halo until a hearing scheduled for June 4, 2025.
Allegations of Abuse and Custody Concerns
Bailey’s legal filings detail multiple instances of alleged abuse by DDG, including a January incident where he reportedly slammed her face into a steering wheel, resulting in a chipped tooth. She also accuses him of damaging property, seizing her phone, and inciting online harassment through his social media influence. Bailey expressed concerns about DDG’s potential to abduct their son, citing past threats and attempts to take Halo without her consent. As a precaution, she has requested that DDG’s visitation be limited to supervised visits once a week for six hours within Los Angeles County and that he be prohibited from removing Halo from the area or obtaining travel documents without her consent.
Legal Actions and Public Statements
In response to the allegations, DDG has publicly claimed that he has been denied access to his son. In a livestream, he expressed frustration over the situation, stating, “I really feel like I’m a f*cking nanny at this point,” and accused Bailey of limiting his time with Halo. He also released a song titled “Don’t Take My Son,” reflecting his emotional turmoil over the custody dispute.
Bailey, on the other hand, has maintained a relatively low profile regarding the public dispute. She has shared moments of joy with her son on social media, emphasizing the importance of protecting her family and maintaining privacy during this challenging time.
Looking Ahead
The upcoming court hearing on June 4 will determine the next steps in the custody arrangement and whether the temporary orders will be extended or modified. Both Bailey and DDG are expected to present their cases, and the court will consider the best interests of their son, Halo, in making its decision. The situation remains fluid, and further developments are anticipated as the legal proceedings continues.
