DDG Drops ‘Pink Dreads’ As He Keeps It ‘Pushing’ Amid Halle Bailey Drama

DDG released one of his songs, Pink Dreads, earlier this year.

This track features another famous streamer, PlaqueBoiMax, and has gained significant traction since its release. Unfortunately, it was soon taken down, sparking controversy. Controversy started when DDG accused one of the song producers of blackmail. Claiming that the producers took the song down because they wanted more money.

DDG was recently spotted at RollingLoud. Despite the song’s recent setback, it is going viral on TikTok. With that success, DDG spoke about it in a recent interview with Billboard.

“It’s amazing, man, you know that’s what all artists aim for—viral moment, you know, just pushing the music further and further,” he said.

In a clip on TikTok, DDG uses his song alongside Bhad Bhabie in a viral clip. When asked about him knowing about his song going viral as it did, DDG says he knew.

“Yeah, I feel like we’re in the day and age where everything moves on quickly in music. Every week, there’s a new hit song; doing it live gives people what they want right there. Nine times out of 10, it’s going to be a hit,” he answered.

DDG has multiple songs out right now, such as The Method and Play by the Rules; when asked if he was willing to open himself to new crowds, he said he’s not trying to chase a hit.

“I just want to put out good music, man. I’m in the game of not really chasing a hit. Just chasing feeding my community and feeding the people that really rick with me. I’m not really interested in creating new fans — I want it to organically happen.” he said.

DDG has many inspirations, and it mentioned some goals he had in mind.

“I just want to be one of the ones that comes out here one day and I’m not pulling up at three o clock, I’m pulling up at 10 p.m. at Sofi Stadium headlining my own s—t, I have big dreams in the music scene,” he said.

Earlier this month, popular streamer/influencer DDG and music/movie star Halle Bailey were in the headlines following the controversy. DDG claimed that Bailey hasn’t been letting him see their son for weeks, and he said Blueface predicted that he would be in the same situation back in a 2021 stream.

Recently, DDG sat down in one of his recent streams and claimed that Blueface predicted the current situation years before it happened.

“Blueface was able to tell my future in a way,” he said.

In a recently resurfaced clip, Blueface and DDG laugh and joke about having kids.

“See, I don’t plan on having a baby; I don’t plan on having a baby mama,” DDG says. “Whoever I have a kid with, she’s with me for life.”

In the clip, Blueface puts in his input.

“Sometimes the kid break y’all up,” Blueface added. DDG then asks Blueface why, and the rapper goes deeper into it.

“Her emotions are going to get to rising, and she might feel like she has something to hold against you, so she’s going to be acting different. She might even use the kid to boss you around and keep tabs on you. That might cause you to be stressed out,” Blueface added. “You know how females are; they petty, bro.”

DDG reflected on what Blueface said in 2021 in the most recent stream.

“Even though I ain’t no da*n Crip or Blood or no shit, we both Black, we both experienced things, we both grew up in struggling environments. We both experienced things; we both had kids. I could’ve been married; I could’ve done everything the correct way. Its unfortunate that didn’t happen, but it ended up being the same circumstances. Sometimes, we live the same lives in a way.” DDG said.

DDG and Bailey announced their relationship in 2022. After months of speculation and rumors that Bailey was pregnant, they welcomed a child named Halo in December 2023. However, after being in a relationship for three years, they announced their split and started co-parenting.

Conversations started after DDG recently shared in a vlog that Bailey isn’t letting him see their son. “I just want to be able to see my son when I want to see my son,” he said. “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 just want to be in my son’s life.”

Recently, Bailey opened up on social media that she and Halo had come down with RSV and that she was taking a break from social media until they were both better.

In the meantime, DDG released a song called “Don’t Take My Son.” where he talks about his situation in the lyrics.

“Don’t take my son because he’s all I got/I’m just having fun, I don’t love these th*ts.” he sings.

Also, during the interview at Rollingloud, DDG was asked how he could manage the controversy surrounding his and Halle’s situation, and he said it was just life.

“Ay man, life is life. You know, keep it pushing,” he said.

However some fans claimed he was the cause of his current mess.

“I think DDG started all this BS by bringing up his situation with Halo! Now, everybody is in their business. Billboard knew what he was doing.” said one comment.
