DDG has revealed that he would tell his younger self “not to get into a relationship” after news of his breakup.
On an episode of his No Ordinary Podcast that aired on Thursday (October 3), the former boyfriend of Halle Bailey revealed his thoughts.
He reflected on how having a relationship can take away focus that would otherwise be dedicated to one’s career.
He said: “If I could tell myself something at age 22, I would tell myself not to get into a relationship because it’s damn near like having a part time job. You really have to apply a lot of time and effort.
“Like, you might be doing videos all day and your girl get an attitude when you’re doing your last video, like, ‘N-gga, when you gonna take me out to eat? When you gon’ take me to the movies? When we gonna go on a date?’
“And then it causes relationship problems in your real life that can affect your content.”

It was just earlier this week that DDG and Halle Bailey shockingly announced the end of their relationship, less than a year after welcoming their first child together.
DDG shared the news on Thursday (October 3), writing on his Instagram Stories: “Dear friends and supporters, After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways.”
He continued: “This decision was not easy, but we believe it’s the best path forward for both of us. I cherish the time we’ve spent together and the love we shared.”
The Michigan rapper maintained that he and Halle would stay close: “Despite the changes in our relationship, our love for each other remains deep and true. We are still best friends and adore each other.”
He concluded by saying: “As we focus on our individual journeys and our roles as co-parents, we cherish the bond we’ve built and the beautiful moments we’ve shared.
“As we navigate this transition, we ask for your understanding and support. Thank you for your love and encouragement.”
The couple sparked breakup rumors earlier this year after eagle-eyed fans noticed that they had unfollowed each other on Instagram and attended Coachella separately.
The couple share one child together, a son named Halo, who was born in December 2023.
