DDG's Mom Responds After Court Grants Halle Bailey A Restraining Order Against Him

DDG’s mother, Tonya Granberry, has broken her silence following the court’s decision to grant Halle Bailey a temporary restraining order against her son, rapper and YouTuber DDG.

The legal action stems from allegations of physical and verbal abuse, as well as concerns for the safety of their 17-month-old son, Halo.

The situation has garnered significant public attention, prompting DDG’s family to address the matter publicly.

Social media is in a frenzy as DDG’s mom, Granberry, has responded to the accusations leveled against her son in a restraining order filed by Halle Bailey.

On May 13, the YouTube personality took to her Instagram Stories, calling the allegations a lie.

“I don’t usually comment or say anything on this internet even with all the negativity, the lies and hatred towards mine,” she said.

Granberry then noted that Bailey’s accusations against her made her realize she had been quiet for too long.

A few hours before the post, Granberry shared a meme, seemingly referring to the situation.

She posted a picture of Kermit the Frog on the phone at a phone booth, with the words “Hello Jesus, take the wheel” boldly written.

Shortly after Granberry responded, The Shade Room reposted, igniting a wave of reactions.

Many fans took Halle Bailey’s side, accusing Granberry of enabling her son. “Now I believe he did it for real because only men that do this mamas act like this lmao,” one fan commented.

A second user shared, “She’s enabling him. She doesn’t want her lifestyle to change smhhh,” while a third penned, “A lot of mothers raised monsters and act like they don’t know it. Then when someone tells them, they act surprised. I know you saw the signs.”

On the other hand, some fans took Granberry’s side. “It’s crazy how y’all trynna disrespect his mama. This woman barely speak or say anything about DDG past relationship publicly except today. She been on YouTube ever since her son DDG moved her to LA but y’all never seen or heard her on any messy sh-t publicly,” one person said.

On May 13, 2025, a Los Angeles judge granted Bailey a temporary restraining order against DDG, citing multiple instances of alleged abuse.

According to court documents, Bailey accused DDG of physical assault during a January incident, where he allegedly pulled her hair and slammed her face into a steering wheel, resulting in a chipped tooth and bruises.

“I realize that there is no placating Darryl. I cannot allow this abuse any longer,” she said in the court documents, per PEOPLE Magazine.

Besides physical abuse, Bailey also alleged verbal abuse, noting that her ex would often call her “b-tch” and “evil” in front of their son. Additionally, she reported that whenever DDG wanted to upset her, he would badmouth her to millions of fans.

The restraining order mandates that DDG stay at least 100 yards away from Bailey and their son, including Halo’s school and Bailey’s vehicle. A court hearing is scheduled for June 6 to determine whether the order will be extended.

Bailey and DDG began dating in 2022 and ultimately split in 2024.

The streamer announced their breakup in a post on his Instagram Stories, revealing that it wasn’t an easy decision but the best path for both of them.

Following their split, the pair’s co-parenting relationship became tumultuous.

In November 2024, the “Little Mermaid” actress indirectly called out DDG for involving Halo in an online streaming episode with Kai Cenat.

Although Halo’s appearance excited fans and viewers, Bailey disapproved, especially as she claimed it was done without her consent.

“Hi everyone, just so you know, I am out of town, and I don't approve of my baby in front of millions of people," she wrote in the now-deleted social media post, per The Blast. "I wasn't told or notified, and I am extremely upset to have my baby in front of millions of people. I am his mother and protector, and saddened that I wasn't notified, especially when I am out of town."

Many hoped the co-parenting feud would only span a few weeks, but unfortunately, it continued for months.

In March 2025, DDG accused Bailey of preventing him from seeing their son.

During one of his livestreams, the rapper said he wasn’t a fan of airing personal matters online, but he was left with no choice as Bailey allegedly frustrated his attempts at being a dad.

He said, per Complex, "I just want to be able to see my son when I want to see my son, take my son when I want to take my son. Like, I don't care if this makes me look childish, if I look like I'm on the internet crazy, whatever – I don't care, bro. I don't care what nobody thinks. I literally just want to be in my son's life."

DDG also clarified that he wasn’t a “deadbeat,” adding that there needed to be “repercussions” for his inability to see Halo.
