One of the most popular memes was shared by X (formerly Twitter) user @scubaryan, who posted a video of Halo on the train ride with the caption, “me lookin at the [robber emoji] who decided to sit by me when it’s 100 empty seats.” The post quickly gained traction, amassing nearly eight million views as of the time this article was written. The meme, along with many others inspired by Halo’s reaction, has been circulating widely on X and TikTok, making the young boy an unexpected internet star.
Even Halo’s parents couldn’t resist joining in on the fun. DDG took to X to express his surprise and amusement at the viral trend, tweeting, “Who made my son into a meme 😂😂😂,” followed by, “my son more lit than me, i love it.” Meanwhile, Halo’s mother, Halle Bailey, added to the lightheartedness by sharing one of the memes featuring her son on X, accompanied by a crying laughing emoji.

The memes have resonated with a broad audience, with users finding Halo’s expression relatable in a variety of everyday situations. Some of the most popular renditions include captions like, “When they beating up the dad and they say get the little boy too,” and “When me & bro out to eat and a group of pred catchers come and smack ts out of him.” Another user humorously remarked, “When you only know 5 people … who these other ninjas,” highlighting the universal appeal of Halo’s innocent confusion.

As the meme continued to gain popularity, fans couldn’t help but speculate that Halo’s naturally expressive demeanor could make him a recurring face in future internet trends. Comments like, “Why that boy look like he not having it? He just doesn’t know what it is yet lol,” and “Me watching idiots back in a truck in a wide open Target parking lot,” perfectly captured the charm of Halo’s candid reactions.
This isn’t the first time Halo has been in the spotlight. The world was first introduced to the adorable baby in July when Halle Bailey shared heartwarming photos of her, DDG, and Halo enjoying a family vacation in Italy. Since then, fans have been eagerly following the couple’s journey as parents, but it’s safe to say that Halo’s recent meme status has taken his fame to a whole new level.
Other social media users joined in on the trend with creative captions like, “He looks like you know you one messed up now right,” and “looks like he judges everyone.” These humorous takes only added to the growing popularity of the meme, further solidifying Halo’s place as the internet’s newest meme king.
