DDG has proven himself to be Halley Bailey’s biggest fan.
In a video shared to the Black Lovers page on X, the rapper and YouTuber held a makeshift awards ceremony for his actress-singer girlfriend over the weekend after she only won ensemble awards during the 2024 season alongside her “The Color Purple” castmates at the NAACP Image Awards.
“Welcome to the HALLE AWARDS,” DDG captioned a Snapchat recording. “She has no idea what’s going on.”
The “Moonwalking in Calabasas” artist presented a fresh-faced Bailey – who had just finished feeding their newborn son, Halo – with awards for Best Artist, Best Sweetheart, Best Partner, Best Catsitter, and Best Woman.
He then put on his best baby voice as he and Halo joined forces to present a tearful Bailey with an award for Best Mother.
The “Little Mermaid” star was filled with so much joy about the sweet gesture, and DDG sealed the moment by reaching Halo down to kiss his mother.
“Awww, she started crying,” he wrote. “Did I do good?”
Bailey was all smiles as she flexed her trophies in a follow-up clip shared to TikTok with her song “In Your Hands” playing in the background.
Bailey was nominated in three categories at this year’s NAACP Awards show, losing to Usher for ‘Entertainer of the Year,’ Fantasia Barrino for ‘Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture’ and Taraji P. Henson for ‘Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture.’
According to The Shade Room, DDG shared that both he and his girlfriend were bummed by her losses — especially considering Bailey’s influence on the film industry regarding representation and culture last year.
