“I grew up on YouTube and I always saw young Black creators and was always inspired by them. He was one of them. I completely forgot about him,” said Halle in an interview with November 2022 Total. “But then I realized that he was giving up music, and I really liked this one song. Luckily he messaged me – and the rest is history.”
Two years later, Bailey announced that she and DDG had secretly welcomed their first child, son Halo.
“Although there are a few days left before we enter the new year, the biggest thing that 2023 could do for me is to bring me my son,” he captioned a photo of his baby’s small hand on Instagram in January. “Welcome to the world my hello 🥰👼🏽 ✨the world wants to know you 😉🤣♥️.”
Four months later, DDG explained why he and Bailey don’t split their personal finances equally.
“I pay for a lot of things. I don’t think 50/50 is a thing when you have money,” he said on the April episode of “Keep It 100,” The Shade Room reality series. “He and I have money so it’s a little different.”
The singer added that when it comes to Halo, they make sure that everything is equal.
“For the most part, as a man, you know you’re never going to pay for dinner, you’re never going to pay for Uber or travel and flights and stuff. I feel like that is definitely my job,” he continued. “When it comes to our child, it’s a little different. We might split a night nurse here and there, you know what I mean? It’s not about the money, it’s just about the goal, you know? A child [is] 50/50.”
