DDG brought his son, Halo, onto Kai Cenat’s stream night for an unexpected celebration—a live baby shower in Halo's honor. However, this appearance stirred up tension with Halo’s mother, Halle Bailey, who took to social media to express her frustration.
Halle, who wasn’t informed about the stream in advance, felt blindsided by her son’s appearance on Kai’s highly popular stream, which draws millions of viewers.
She shared that not being notified put her in a difficult spot as a mother, especially as she’s currently navigating postpartum depression. This openness shed light on her perspective and concerns as a parent.
Reactions online, however, largely sided with DDG. The couple, who separated amicably in October, had previously shared moments with their nearly one-year-old son across social media, leading many fans to feel Halle’s comments came off as a criticism of DDG. The backlash grew quickly, ultimately prompting Halle to deactivate her Instagram and X accounts.
DDG and Kai, who were aware of the situation as it unfolded, chose to keep the stream calm and focused on the celebration. Though the couple initially presented their breakup as friendly, the public exchange left fans speculating about potential unresolved issues.
