Update on Halle Bailey and DDG: Custody Decisions and Industry Reactions

In a significant development following accusations of physical, verbal, and financial abuse by actress Halle Bailey against her former partner, Darryl “PontiacMadeDDG,”the courts have granted Bailey temporary sole legal and physical custody of their 17-month-old son, Halo Saint. Despite the tumultuous nature of the situation, DDG has maintained a presence on social media, having livestreamed on Twitch three times since the allegations surfaced. In his most recent stream, he expressed gratitude towards content creators who have stood by him during this tumultuous period.

DDG’s Perspective on Industry Support

During a Twitch stream on May 15, 2025, titled “idk.. I’m just staying consistent #RoadTo1million,”DDG addressed the shifting allegiances he has observed among his peers in the industry. He remarked on the surprising speed with which some individuals have distanced themselves from him amid the ongoing controversy:

“I genuinely appreciate… ‘cuz I be seeing it when ni**as be saying it, I see hella people switching up and sh*t… it’s just so weird, bro. 72 hours ago, you was on my meat and 24 hours later, all thos other sh*t goin’ on. The industry is just so fake.”

Despite feeling betrayed by some, DDG took a moment to acknowledge the support of fellow content creator Jayvontay “SoLLUMINATI,”who has been vocal in his criticism of Bailey’s actions:

“One ni**a bro, that I want to meet, on some real cool sh*t and just kick it with the ni**a, is SoLLUMINATI. I be seeing clips and sh*t, and I’m like, ‘man this a real ni**a,’ and I know he a real ni**a ‘cuz he from Michigan.”

DDG continued to discuss the backing he has received from the online creator community:

“A lot of content creators been just, y’know, really just siding with me. It’s a very very touchy subject but like, to put your opinion out there, in favor of me…”

SoLLUMINATI’s Controversial Commentary

On May 14, 2025, SoLLUMINATI shared his thoughts during his drama review stream, reacting to a clip featuring Halle Bailey that was posted by @AkademiksTV. In the clip, Bailey mentioned her fondness for “drama”and admitted to being intrusive about others’ affairs. This prompted SoLLUMINATI to make a bold assertion regarding the nature of Bailey’s actions:

“I ain’t gon’ lie, she set that ni**a up, y’all. I don’t give a f**k what nobody say.”

Continuing his commentary, SoLLUMINATI alleged that Bailey had conferred with Roc Nation and Jay-Z before the allegations became public. This viewpoint echoed that of another Twitch streamer, Deshae Frost, who also suggested that Bailey has connections to powerful figures such as Jay-Z, raising eyebrows within the streaming community. SoLLUMINATI stated:

“She went and talked to Roc Nation and ‘nem, she talked to Jay-Z and ‘nem… it’s crazy ‘cuz Roc Nation is trending.”

In related news, following the serious allegations, DDG abruptly concluded a livestream session, which had started with a giveaway of Amazon gift cards for his community.
