DDG Admits to Sending “Petty” DM to Rubi Rose in Front of Girlfriend Halle Bailey, Says He Had No Intentions to Actually Link With Ex [Video]

DDG is finally opening up about the controversial incident involving rapper Rubi Rose.

In an interview with VladTV, the rapper shared the details of the moment he messaged Rose in front of his girlfriend, Halle Bailey while reflecting on his 2023 song “Hard On Myself.”

He described the text as “innocent” and said it was a “tit for a tat” moment. “But I didn’t think that she would screenshot and post it at that. Back and forth on Twitter, how the heck am I supposed to react?” he explained.

The 26-year-old admitted that he deliberately wanted Bailey to see the messages, especially during their argument, knowing that Rose would publicize them.

“I had no intention of actually linking with Rubi Rose. She saw it. Imagine you’re arguing with your girl and you get mad at her for something. ‘I’m finna do this. Watch this,’ type stuff,” he explained, describing Bailey’s reaction.

The YouTuber also shared the difference between Bailey’s and Rose’s public images, mentioning how he influenced Rose to join OnlyFans, where she posts fully nude content and “Daily Free Surprises.”

When asked if he would support Halle in creating one, DDG said he would be okay with it, regardless.

“She wouldn’t because her brand is completely different… But as an average female, or a female that doesn’t have that type of image, or that type of stuff going for you, the OnlyFans stuff, especially if you’re already well-known, all you gotta do is– Bhad Bhabie made $50 million. $50 million the moment she turned 18. She ain’t on there doing anything inappropriate. She’s just posting what she would post on Instagram. It was smart,” he remarked.

DDG and the star of “The Little Mermaid” recently welcomed their first child together, Halo, which they’ve decided to keep private.
