“Ur irrelevant”- DDG hits back at critic trolling his Father’s Day post amid custody battle with Halle Bailey
DDG (Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr) is currently engaged in a custody battle with Halle Bailey for their son, Halo Saint. Amidst this, he recently hit back at a critic following his post on Father's Day, i.e., Sunday, June 15.
DDG and Halle Bailey got into a relationship in 2022 and had Halo in December 2023. In October last year, they announced that they were splitting up. Since then, they have engaged in multiple legal battles, including custody of their son.
Amidst this, Darryl shared a post on his X account on Father's Day that read:
"happy father’s day to all the active dads worldwide"
A pop culture page named Pop Tingz took a dig at the rapper, quoting his tweet and writing:
"So not you?"
Darryl hit back with a quote of his own, writing:
"u a wannabe pop base, ur irrelevant. i can cashapp u the worth of this page. ur Dad hasn’t been active since u came out the closet & that’s not right. i support the LGBT community."
Many fans, however, seemed to support Pop Tingz and slammed the rapper for his post.

A look at DDG and Halle Bailey's eventful last few months
In the last few months, the rapper and the actress have seen various ups and downs.
While they had their son, Halo, in December 2023, they announced their decision to split in 2024. However, they have been fighting over their son's custody since then.
Amidst the custody battle, Halle Bailey had filed for a restraining order against DDG earlier this year, alleging emotional and physical abuse. She said (via TMZ):
"He claims I am withholding our son and that I am with other men. As a result, I then receive threats and hate on social media. He seems to try to set up drama for his fans. He goes 'live' ranting about me and alleges that I am keeping Halo from him. This is false. I have requested a set schedule, which he refuses."
A court in Los Angeles granted her a 100-day restraining order in May.

Notably, Darryl then filed for a restraining order of his own on June 4, 2025. He filed a motion to request the court to stop Bailey from taking their son abroad, specifically to Italy.
He alleged:
"imminent emotional and psychological risk to the minor child based on repeated, documented threats of self-harm."
In his motion, the rapper alleged that the The Little Mermaid actress has had bouts of self-harm, which can cause emotional distress to their son.
As per Hot New Hip Hop, the court gave Darryl partial restraining order, which doesn't stop Bailey from leaving the country with Halo.
As per the rapper's lawyers, the order includes protection from physical or emotional abuse. He might also be able to have a third party to mediate custody dealings.
However, the court didn't find enough evidence to stop Halle Bailey from temporary custody of their son or to stop her from traveling to Italy with him.
