The public drama between Halle Bailey and rapper DDG continues to gain attention. This time, it involves the social media personality Lala Baptiste. She was accused of having a sexual relationship with DDG during his relationship with Bailey. These claims were linked to a group vacation in Mexico.

In leaked text messages, Halle Bailey accused DDG of cheating on her with Lala during that trip. The messages have sparked rumors and divided fans. But now, Lala has come forward to deny the claims. She says there was no inappropriate behavior between her and DDG.

Lala recently posted a video to clear her name. She said:

"There was nothing weird going on"

Why did Halle Bailey think DDG cheated in Mexico?

Lala explained that the cheating rumors started after a group trip. She said the trip was for someone’s birthday and included many friends, not just her and DDG.

“These accusations in general is stemming from a group trip that our whole friend group went on,” Lala said. “And everyone on this trip can confirm there was nothing weird going on. I wasn’t even staying near them. It was for someone’s birthday. Let’s start there.”

Lala made it clear that it was not a private vacation or anything secret. She said there were no late-night meetups or anything romantic. She said anyone who was there could confirm this. According to her, it was a simple trip with friends and nothing more.

What Was Lala’s Relationship with DDG?

Lala said that her relationship with DDG started as a work connection. He helped her launch her YouTube channel. Over time, they became friends. But she says they were never more than that.

“Me and Daryl’s relationship has always been strictly… started off as business. Obviously, if you know, you know. Like, he put me onto YouTube. Started off there, grew into a friendship, has always remained platonic,” Lala shared.

She also said it is unfair that people assume something happened just because they were seen together. Lala believes that people often assume women and men can’t be just friends, which she disagrees with, and said:

“It’s genuinely possible to actually have a platonic friendship with a guy. Like, it’s possible.”
