Halle Bailey recently expressed frustration toward her ex-partner, DDG, after he brought their 10-month-old son, Halo, onto Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 2 Twitch stream without her permission. Halle Bailey, who was out of town during the November 6 livestream, took to X (formerly Twitter) to share her disappointment at not being informed of her son’s public appearance, which was seen by millions of viewers.
Bailey’s reaction on social media conveyed her deep concern as a mother. “I am his mother and protector and saddened that I wasn’t notified, especially when I am out of town,” she wrote. The Little Mermaid actress emphasized her disapproval, noting that she was “extremely upset” to find out that Halo was introduced to such a vast audience without her awareness or consent.
The streaming session was part of Cenat’s ongoing Mafiathon 2, a non-stop broadcast that has seen a variety of celebrity appearances as Cenat attempts to regain his previous record of the most active subscriptions on Twitch. The popular streamer has been hosting the marathon event since November 1, bringing in a rotating cast of high-profile guests, from TikTok personalities to mainstream celebrities like Snoop Dogg and Miranda Cosgrove, to keep his growing fanbase engaged.
When DDG, real name Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., joined the stream on Day 6, he brought along his son, Halo, to the surprise of Cenat’s audience and to Bailey’s displeasure. Over 100,000 live viewers tuned in to see Halo on screen, drawing attention to DDG’s parenting decision. Although Cenat’s fans were thrilled by the unexpected appearance, Bailey’s reaction on X indicated that she felt blindsided and concerned about her son’s exposure on such a large platform.
The co-parenting dynamic between Halle Bailey and DDG has been under the spotlight since their split in October 2024, following two years together. They have both publicly expressed a desire to prioritize Halo’s well-being. However, Bailey’s statement suggests a breakdown in communication regarding the decision to bring their son onto a widely-watched livestream. “I wasn’t told or notified, and I am extremely upset to have my baby in front of millions of people,” Bailey added in her post, making it clear that she would have preferred to discuss this in advance.
Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 2 has become a major event on Twitch, drawing in thousands of viewers around the clock as he attempts to break Ironmouse’s subscriber record of over 326,000. Featuring high-energy content and a diverse lineup of celebrity guests, Cenat’s marathon stream has attracted figures like Glorilla and Kodak Black, ensuring a continuous flow of engaging moments for his audience.
During the stream, Halo stayed on screen for about 30 minutes, drinking milk and watching videos alongside Cenat and DDG. At one point, they viewed a clip of YouTube personality IShowSpeed racing Olympian Noah Lyles, after which DDG left the room briefly and returned without Halo.
Neither DDG nor Cenat have responded to Bailey’s tweet as of yet, leaving fans and followers speculating about the next steps in this public co-parenting journey. Bailey’s message underscores her protective stance toward her son and raises questions about boundaries and communication in high-profile co-parenting. As DDG and Halle Bailey continue to navigate their roles as co-parents, this incident highlights the importance of mutual understanding and consent when it comes to their son’s involvement in the public eye.
