Today is Valentine's Day, and love is definitely in the air. However, the past week has been anything but romantic for DDG and Halle Bailey. They had breakup rumours rapidly circulating the internet thanks to some telling posts from the YouTuber. As the weekend came around, things only got more dramatic when his ex, Rubi Rose, exposed him with a series of receipts.
The Kentucky native shared screenshots and recorded videos alleging that the "Elon Musk" artist hit her up last Tuesday, asking if she was in Los Angeles. Rose confirmed her location. Still, she didn't hesitate to call out DDG for only contacting her due to his precarious situation with the R&B singer. While she was busy spilling tea on Twitter, he was in the midst of a live stream that caught his obviously angry reaction.
Rubi and her former lover continued to trade shots on social media. At one point, Blueface and Chrisean Rock were even pulled into the drama. In the midst of all the chaos, fans rode hard for Bailey. Some of them even launched a Change.org petition, demanding that she find herself a new man. Despite fans' pleas, however, it looks like The Little Mermaid actress is standing by DDG's side.
On Monday (February 13), the Michigan-born entertainer uploaded a new vlog to his channel. Throughout the 37-minute video, titled, "the WORST week of my life," he markedly details some of the beef he's been involved in lately. "I been in my cocoon. Doing my own little thing," he tells the camera while walking through his house on crutches.
"Taking time to myself, trying to stay off the internet with all the shenanigans going on. But y'all know me deep down, and y'all know I'm a good n*gga. I always been positive, ain't that right?" he asks a friend standing in the kitchen. "I don't know why you folks tryna make me the devil, man!" he then yells with a smile.
"Stay away from negativity, man. It's not 2020," DDG also cautions viewers. "I just don't like when people formulate opinions about me, and they don't really know me. 'Cuz that could be detrimental," he goes on to say before explaining that he feels a need to clear the air about drama on social media because if he doesn't, people will make assumptions about him that don't align with his true persona.
According to the recording artist, having a "bad name" in the entertainment industry is a major faux pas. "Believe it or not, everything that you see on the internet isn't true," he then reminds subscribers. Elsewhere in the recently released vlog, cameras caught Bailey sticking by DDG. Though we don't hear from her directly, she's obviously at least willing to look past the social media spat to work on her relationship with the 25-year-old.
