DDG cuddles his and Halle Bailey’s baby in ‘Darryl Freestyle’ video

Halle Bailey And DDG‘s son has made his official music video debut.

The 26-year-old DDG dropped an accompanying video for his new rap ‘Darryl Freestyle’ on Saturday, January 6. Son Halo made a brief appearance in the final scene, where the rapper cradled the newborn, wrapped in a tan blanket, in his arms.

Bailey, 23, and DDG (real name Darryl Dwayne Grandberry Jr.) confirmed just hours later that they had secretly welcomed their first baby.

“Even though we’re already a few days into the new year, the best thing 2023 could have done for me was having my son,” Bailey wrote via Instagram, sharing a photo of Halo’s tiny wrist with a gold name tag bracelet. “Welcome to the world, my halo 🥰👼🏽 ✨the world would like to get to know you 😉🤣♥️.”

DDG also shared the announcement on its website Instagram. “By far my greatest blessing 👶🏽,” he wrote. ‘Son son… never been so in love.’

In a follow-up post on his Instagram Story, DDG called Halo “the most flying child in the universe.”

Bailey and DDG were first linked in January 2022, two months before they made their relationship official on Instagram.

“Experiencing deep love for the first time in my life is something that I think has opened up a whole new world for me creatively,” The Color Purple actress flocked British Vogue in April 2023. “What it feels like to love someone other than your family, like someone you might not have known two years ago but is now the center of your world.”

She continued at the time: “I love all the scary feelings that come with it. I love the suspense, not knowing what’s going to happen, and I feel like this is what I should experience as a woman.

Bailey never publicly confirmed her pregnancy with Halo before giving birth, only shutting down social media users who thought she had a “pregnancy nose.”

“Listen, if I see anyone say anything about my nose again, it’s going to be hell to pay,” Bailey joked in November 2023 via her Snapchat Story. “And do you know why? Because I’m black. I love my nose.”

Months later, DDG joked on his Snapchat that he hates being asked about the rumors.

“I don’t know why people do that [sic] so invested in what I have going on or what we have going on. Mind your business,” he said earlier this month. “Go outside. Touch some grass. Do a cartwheel in the backyard or something. It’s weird. I really don’t understand it. Why are you guys so invested in people you don’t know?”

Since welcoming Halo, DDG has changed his tune and publicly praised Bailey as a mother in his “Darryl Freestyle” lyrics.

“Silver Spoon kid / I know Halo won’t want for anything,” DDG raps. “He’s crying / His mother is coming / She’s stronger than Wonder Woman.”
