Actress and singer Halle Bailey was recently captured with a 'mystery man' on a yacht. The pictures of the duo, exclusively shared by The Shade Room on Tuesday, July 1, elicited a strong response from DJ Akademiks, who claimed that it was Bailey's attempt at instigating her ex-partner, DDG.
In a snippet of AK's livestream, the commentator can be heard saying:
"You got a ni**a playing cameraman. This is how y'all know she's just trying to make DDG mad. The whole time the ni**a got a camera in his hand, clicking pictures of her... This sh*t don't make no sense, bro."

For the unversed, Halle Bailey is currently in Italy with her 1-year-old son, Halo, for the shooting of her new film. News of the Baby Girl singer's new romance comes as she is embroiled in a custody battle with DDG (born Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.).
Halle Bailey's ex, DDG, spoke about going to the fertility clinic to have a second child on livestream
Halle's vacation with her mystery man comes after DDG spoke about going to a fertility clinic for a second child in a livestream, Billboard reported.
"If I’m 29 or something like that, and I ain’t got the time. I’ll just go to that little place, do my little one-two, put my sh*t in a cup. Take a little egg from somebody, throw it in another little body. Cook that motherf**ker up for nine months. You can do that type sh*t when you got money. That’ll alleviate a lot of sh*t," he said.
Per the media outlet, the sole custody of DDG's firstborn, Halo, currently remains with his mother, Halle Bailey. Bailey was granted custody in May 2025, after she filed for a restraining order against Dwayne, citing multiple alleged incidents of domestic abuse.
Dwayne welcomed his first son with Halle Bailey in December 2023, before parting ways in October 2024.
