IKDR, roommates! DDG ensured his woman Halle Bailey felt ALL the love after her losses at this weekend’s NAACP Image Awards.
For context, the singer-actress was chosen in 3 classifications at the 2024 program. She lost to Usher for ‘Entertainer of the Year.’ She lost in the ‘Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture’ classification to Fantasia Barrino for her efficiency in ‘The Color Purple.’ Bailey lost the ‘Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture’ win to Taraji P. Henson for her ‘Color Purple’ efficiency.
Here’s How DDG Made It Up To Halle Bailey
DDG exposed in a video that he was troubled by her losses, however more significantly, so was Halle Bailey. Part of the factor she was saddened was because of her effect on the movie market in 2015, both culturally and representation-wise.
… I was kinda mad that she didn’t win ’cause I seem like she must’ve won a minimum of among the awards. She won ‘The Color Purple’ one, however that’s like a group prize, it’s not the like your own, and I was really, mad that she didn’t win, understanding just how much of an effect she made on the Black neighborhood in 2015 and it’s a Black award program.”
For context, Halle landed an NAACP Image Awards election for playing Ariel. That’s the one she lost to Fantasia. DDG shared that Halle was “kinda down and out about it,” however he stated he motivated his woman to “forget them awards” due to the fact that she “must’ve won something.”

To make it up to his kid’s mom, DDG chose to shock Halle with her own award program! He began by personalizing a minimum of 5 mini-statues with some intimate classification wins.
He sat Halle down and started his surprise award program, where he later on published the outcomes on Snapchat! At the start, Halle was feeding their kid Halo a bottle and was entirely uninformed of how her guy will charm her! He called the minute the “Halle Awards.”

What Halle Won At Her Personal Award Show
DDG put additional sauce on his surprise by consistently revealing her as the only candidate before providing her with the very first award. The occupied mom smiled, chuckled, and blushed at her guy’s effort.
The very first award was for ‘Best Cat Sitter.’ The second was for ‘Best Woman,’ while the 3rd was for ‘Best Artist’ for her brand-new single ‘In Your Hands.’ By the 4th, Halle was cleaning tears from her eyes. That award was for ‘Best Sweetheart.’ Came the ‘Best Partner’ award.
“You’re gon na make me sob,” Halle stated with her hands filled with small prizes and an empty infant bottle.
