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
12 March 2025
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.
