Halle Bailey recently admitted she may have overreacted after seeing her infant son, Halo, appear on Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 2 livestream with her ex, rapper DDG. The Little Mermaid star shared her thoughts on social media, acknowledging that she probably shouldn’t have aired her personal feelings in public. Bailey explained her concerns about not being informed beforehand about Halo’s appearance on the stream, especially while she was out of town. She also expressed gratitude to Cenat for gifting Halo during the livestream. This admission came after a brief period of backlash and a public dispute with DDG fans.
Halle Bailey, known for her role as Ariel in The Little Mermaid, recently shared a vulnerable moment with her fans, admitting that she might have overreacted after seeing her infant son, Halo, appear on a livestream hosted by popular content creator Kai Cenat. The livestream, which was part of Cenat’s “Mafiathon 2” event, featured Halo alongside his father, rapper DDG. Bailey’s reaction to the event was swift and emotional, leading to public posts where she voiced her discomfort about her son’s unapproved appearance.
“Yesterday maybe I did overreact and shouldn’t have brought it here,” she tweeted. “I know that Halo is always safe with his dad. I just don’t like finding out with the rest of the world what my baby is doing.”
She further clarified that her frustration was not with her ex, DDG, but with the situation itself and her lack of control over the timing of the livestream appearance.
Bailey’s initial reaction came on Wednesday, November 6, when she expressed her frustration on Twitter/X. She stated that she was upset to see her son appear on the stream, especially since she was out of town and had not been notified beforehand. “I am out of town and I don’t approve of my baby being on a stream tonight,” she wrote. “I wasn’t told or notified and I am extremely upset to have my baby in front of millions of people.” Bailey’s words were charged with emotion as she explained the boundaries she felt should be respected, particularly as a mother experiencing postpartum challenges.
The post quickly gained attention, drawing both support and criticism. Bailey later elaborated on her feelings in a follow-up message, mentioning that as a new mother dealing with postpartum difficulties, there were emotional triggers that she wasn’t ready to confront in a public way. “As a woman experiencing severe postpartum, there are boundaries that I wish to be respected,” she wrote. “Nobody knows what someone is going through until they snap.”
The backlash was swift, with many fans of DDG criticizing Bailey for airing her grievances on social media. In response to the controversy, Bailey decided to delete much of her social media presence. Despite the backlash, she took time to reflect on her actions and posted a more measured response the following day. On November 7, Bailey admitted that she may have overreacted and acknowledged that it might not have been the best decision to address the issue publicly.
In her updated post, Bailey also expressed appreciation for Kai Cenat’s generosity, thanking him for gifting Halo several items during the livestream. Cenat, a well-known figure in the streaming world, had given Halo a number of presents, which DDG later shared on his social media.
DDG, who split from Bailey earlier in October 2024, has not publicly addressed her concerns directly. However, he did post an image showcasing the gifts Kai had given Halo. In a message shared shortly after their breakup, DDG emphasized that while their romantic relationship had ended, they remained close and committed to co-parenting their son. “After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “Despite the changes in our relationship, our love for each other remains deep and true. We are still best friends and adore each other.”
Bailey’s admission of overreacting sheds light on the complexities of co-parenting, especially in the public eye. As a celebrity, balancing personal feelings with the need to protect one’s family from online scrutiny can be difficult. It also speaks to the pressures new mothers face in the spotlight, especially when dealing with postpartum emotions.
While the situation may have caused tension between the former couple, Bailey’s decision to reflect and offer a more balanced perspective shows a willingness to move forward in a healthier way. It’s clear that both she and DDG want the best for their son and continue to focus on being responsible co-parents despite their differences.
In the end, Bailey’s story reminds us of the importance of communication, respect, and understanding in relationships, particularly when children are involved. As she moves forward, it’s evident that her love for her son and her desire to protect him remains her top priority.
