In recent court filings, DDG and Halle Bailey’s legal battle has taken a turn.
According to documents submitted by him, a disagreement between him and Halle began after he commented on rapper Sexyy Red. He reportedly told Bailey he thought Sexyy Red was a good rapper. What followed, as described in court, was an emotional reaction from Bailey that he claims was unexpected and intense.
This incident is one part of a larger case between the two. The former couple is currently involved in a custody battle over their son, Halo. As part of this case, he submitted screenshots of texts to support his claims. In some of these messages, Bailey allegedly made threats of self-harm.
Why did DDG talking about Sexyy Red matter?
As reported by XXL Magazine on May 31, 2025, he told Halle Bailey that he thought rapper Sexyy Red was “a good rapper.” The statement appears simple, but court documents suggest it triggered an emotional breakdown. According to texts submitted to the court, Bailey became upset after hearing DDG’s comment. DDG described this moment as the start of a very difficult conversation.
The texts included in court records, though not fully public, suggest Bailey “crashed out” emotionally. The exact words she used are not clear. But DDG claims that her reaction was intense and deeply emotional. He used this to support claims about her mental state.
This interaction is now part of the larger custody case. DDG has mentioned this as an example of the kind of emotional responses he says are common in their relationship. The court will have to decide how much this matters in terms of custody.
Did Halle Bailey threaten to harm herself after the conversation?
As reported by HypeFresh on June 2, 2025, he submitted texts in court that he says were sent by Bailey. In one of these messages, Bailey allegedly wrote: “GOONG KILLYSW TONIGHT” and “am simply tough enough this world. Please take Halo so he doesn’t have to see.” He believes these were suicide threats. He says these messages were part of an ongoing pattern of emotional manipulation.
In the same court filing, he refers to an earlier incident from August 2023. He says Bailey once told him she would harm herself using a firearm she owned. He also says she made similar statements during other arguments. DDG believes these threats were made to control him emotionally.
However, it is important to note that Bailey has not yet made a public statement responding to these texts. The court has not confirmed whether these messages were actually sent by her. Until more evidence is presented, the details remain uncertain.
This case between DDG and Halle Bailey is still ongoing. The court has not made a final decision. What started as a simple comment about a rapper has now become a part of a much larger legal fight. Allegations of emotional distress, self-harm, and manipulation have been brought into the public eye.
