On June 4, DDG (AKA Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.) filed an emergency motion asking the court to block his ex-girlfriend Halle Bailey from traveling internationally with their son, Halo. He claimed Bailey posed an “emotional and psychological risk” to the child and requested sole physical and legal custody. Alternatively, he asked that any custody exchanges be facilitated by a neutral third party if not granted sole custody.
DDG also detailed several allegations in his motion. He claimed that Bailey once took his firearm and left the house without informing him of her whereabouts, later finding her outside, allegedly holding the weapon.
He further alleged that Bailey attempted to have an abortion without telling him, but ultimately decided against it. In addition, he claimed she sent “a series of alarming text messages,” in which she allegedly threatened to kill herself and implied that their infant son might also be harmed.
Halle Bailey Responds to DDG’s Motion
That same day, Bailey responded by filing a motion to deny DDG’s emergency request. She also asked the court to issue protective orders preventing DDG and his family from posting publicly about her, Halo, or their ongoing legal proceedings.
In her filing, Bailey pointed out that DDG and his legal team had ignored repeated attempts to schedule supervised visits since May 13—the day she was granted a temporary restraining order. That order also gave Bailey sole custody and cleared her to bring Halo with her for an eight-week film shoot in Italy starting early June. She argued that DDG waited until days before her departure to challenge the terms, despite having weeks to respond.
She also specifically highlighted a recent incident at DreamcCon 2025 in Houston, Texas as a reason why DDG’s motion should be denied. His brother DuB got into an altercation with another man after they referred to DDG as “Doo Doo Garbage.”
“…I will bring this video to Court. Darryl and the people around him are aggressive and angry, which leads me to believe this is not a safe environment for Halo,” the declaration states.
She also highlighted that DDG plans to stream 24/7 in the month of June in different cities including Paris, Atlanta, and Hawaii and that when he has had custody in the past, Halo is allegedly left with his mother.
“Darryl has not contributed any regular support since Halo was born…I cannot leave Halo with Darryl, as Darryl will be out of town a majority of those months. Halo is also a protected person by the Court’s Temporary Restraining Order,” Bailey claimed.
The Latest Verdict
The judge ultimately denied DDG’s emergency motion, allowing Bailey to proceed with her previously approved travel plans with Halo. The court has not yet released the official reasoning behind the decision. A full hearing is scheduled for June 24, where both parties’ competing permanent restraining orders will be reviewed.
