Rapper and YouTube DDG is overjoyed with fatherhood. On Sunday, he posted a 14-minute vlog where he talked about becoming a parent with actress-singer Halle Bailey, who surprised fans with the announcement of their new son, Halo, over the weekend.

Although the couple haven't shared Halo's birth date, they've confirmed that the new addition to their family was born last year. "We was just waiting on the right time to break the news, or whatever," DDG said around the 1:30-minute mark of the video below.

The 26-year-old also joked about the rumor mill around Bailey hiding her stomach from the public by wearing oversized outfits. "It's been a lot of speculation," DDG added. "You know, a lot of y'all should quit y'all jobs, bro. A lot of y'all should quit ya'll jobs and start looking into detective work, 'cause ya'll do pretty good at it."

DDG went on to call Halo "a blessing." "I love him so much," he said. "I barely know him, he barely know me, we barely know each other but I love him so much and it's a different type of feeling."

In another clip, DDG showed his son's car seat in the back of his vehicle. "I ain't gotta hide nothing no more," DDG said. "That's why I'm so happy. It's no longer a secret. I can just be a dad in peace, man."

On Saturday, Bailey shared an image on Instagram of Halo's hand cradled by hers and DDG's. "Even though we’re a few days into the new year, the greatest thing that 2023 could have done for me, was bring me my son.. welcome to the world my halo," she captioned the post. "the world is desperate to know you."
