On Tuesday, May 20, DJ Akademiks shared his opinion on the impact of Halle Bailey's restraining order on her ex-boyfriend, DDG - born Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.
As part of the restraining order, Dwayne is no longer allowed to possess a gun. Akademiks calls the order an "idiotic attempt" of Bailey to gain custody of their son, adding:
"Halle has now left Halo’s father defenseless and put a target on his back. If someone ran up on DDG and robbed him while he was with halo it will be her fault that DDG wouldn’t be able to defend himself or his son."
DJ Akademiks' tweet has since received over 8.2K views and 279 likes, with some netizens asking Akademiks to delete it and avoid bringing more attention to DDG's situation.
According to AP News, Halle Bailey was granted a restraining order against Dwayne after the Little Mermaid star claimed that Dwayne was violent with her. In the documents requesting the order, Bailey wrote:
"Throughout our relationship, Daryl has been and continues to be physically, verbally, emotionally, and financially abusive towards me. I am seeking orders to protect myself and our son Halo from his ongoing abuse."
Bailey and Dwayne started dating in 2022, welcomed their son, Halo, in 2023, and parted ways last year, after which there have been "multiple acts of physical violence," the singer-actress claims.
Halle also detailed a particular incident from January 2025, where Granberry was repeatedly calling her a "bi**h" as she was strapping the baby seat inside his car.
"The next thing I knew, things got physical between us. We fought each other, wrestling and tussling. At one point, Darryl was pulling my hair. He then slammed my face on the steering wheel, causing my tooth to get chipped. I then stopped fighting back as I was in a lot of pain."
Halle Bailey was given temporary full custody of her son, Halo, and a restraining order against Dwayne. He must stay over 100 yards away from them until their next court hearing on June 4.

"I wanna be transparent with y'all. There's a whole lotta brand switching up on me right now. Once all this sh*t over with, I'm charging y'all quadruple... quintuple, actually," DDG said.
