Rapper DDG Files Legal Motion To Keep Halle Bailey and Son Halo From Leaving the U.S.
The actress was temporarily given physical and legal custody of Halo in May.
DDG just filed a legal motion that asks the court to stop Halle Bailey and their son, Halo, from leaving the U.S. And in his telling, it is not just about travel plans, it is about safety, after a fight he says turned dangerous.
The rapper, whose real name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., claims Bailey took his gun during an argument, then he found her outside holding it. He describes her as “emotionally unwell, incoherent, and potentially suicidal,” and argues that moment put Halo in immediate danger.
With temporary custody and a restraining order already in the mix, this custody battle is getting even more intense before the June 4 deadline.
DDG says Bailey took his gun during a fight and was found outside with it, posing a danger to Halo.
One specific incident DDG highlights involved a heated argument during which Bailey took his gun and left their home with it.
He says he found her outside, holding the weapon, and describes her as “emotionally unwell, incoherent, and potentially suicidal.” This, he argues, put Halo in immediate danger.
GettyIn May, Bailey got temporary custody and a restraining order against DDG, expiring June 4.
The custody battle itself has already seen some major developments. In May, Bailey was granted temporary physical and legal custody of Halo after accusing DDG, whose real name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., of physical and emotional abuse.
At the same time, the court issued a temporary restraining order requiring DDG to stay at least 100 yards away from Bailey and their son.
That restraining order was set to expire on June 4, coinciding with the scheduled court hearing.

Bailey sought to block DDG’s visits but allowed weekly supervised ones, limited to Los Angeles County.
Bailey also asked the judge to block DDG from any visitation rights with Halo. However, she agreed to allow supervised visits once a week, lasting six hours each time, with a professional company overseeing the meetings, but only while Halo remains in Los Angeles.
Additionally, Bailey requested the court to prevent DDG from taking Halo outside Los Angeles County.

In May, Bailey got temporary physical and legal custody of Halo and a restraining order that forced DDG to stay 100 yards away, and now he is countering with this travel restriction request.
DDG points to the same explosive incident where he says Bailey left their home with the gun, and he is using it to argue Halo should not be moved out of the country.
It also echoes the Kansas fight, where transgender drivers were ordered to surrender licenses under new law.
Using a co-parenting counselor can help facilitate discussions, ensuring both parents can voice their concerns while prioritizing their child's well-being. Consistent routines and stable environments are vital during such transitions, providing children with a sense of security amidst uncertainty.
Even though Bailey allowed weekly supervised visits in Los Angeles County, she also tried to block DDG from any visitation, which is why the court schedule is so tightly controlled.
Implementing regular check-ins with the child can help gauge their emotional state.
As the restraining order expires June 4 alongside the next scheduled hearing, DDG is pushing hard to keep Halo local, while Bailey’s custody terms keep shifting in the background.
The two began their relationship in 2022 but ultimately split in 2024, and since then, their custody dispute has become more public and contentious. This case shows just how difficult co-parenting can become when trust fades and serious accusations come into play.
Both parents are making claims that directly affect their son’s safety and well-being, putting the family in a tense and uncertain position. The court’s rulings will be crucial, shaping not only the immediate situation but also the long-term future for everyone involved.
The custody battle between DDG and Halle Bailey highlights the intricate emotional landscape that often accompanies parenting disputes. The stakes are particularly high when young children are involved, as seen with their son Halo. The friction between the parents can reverberate throughout the family unit, affecting not just the immediate parties but also the child’s well-being.
Implementing proactive strategies like co-parenting plans and possibly seeking counseling can lay the groundwork for healthier interactions. In this case, prioritizing Halo’s emotional needs should be the driving force behind any decisions made, ensuring that his development remains a focal point amid the turmoil of legal proceedings.
The June 4 hearing is about to decide whether Halo stays put, or whether this family drama gets even bigger than it already is.
