One of the least shocking break ups occurred today which involved rapper DDG announcing that he and singer, actress Halle Bailey would be calling it quits as a mutual decision between the two. The rapper, whose real name is Darryl Dwayne Grandberry Jr. posted on social media that he still cherished the time “spent together” and the “love” they had for each other while together. He wrote “Despite changes in our relationship, our love for each other remains deep and true. We are still best friends and adore each other. As we focus on our individual journeys and our roles as coparents, we cherish the bond we’ve built and the beautiful moments we shared.” Halle has yet to respond to the announcement.

The reason this breakup is no shocker is because the two always had an uphill battle as the public never quite seemed to approve of their relationship. From the fact that he wrote a song expressing his insecurities about not only her on screen love life but then holding hands on the red carpet with her on screen lover to her facing backlash for his ex sharing screenshots of messages with him on the day Bailey announced she was pregnant. At the time Bailey said not to believe the “third party,” while fans said she had become the epitome of “That’s my man and I’m going to stick beside him.”

It reminds us of when Usher and Tameka Foster got married. The public immediately disapproved and for a number of reasons he speculated from her age to just the fact that she wasn’t who people expected him to be with, especially after last being with TLC’s Chilli. They eventually divorced 2 years later, ironically the same amount of time DDG and Halle Bailey have been together. Bailey spoke about going on a social media fast while pregnant so as to not be affected by any of the negativity because if she hadn’t, we’re sure it would have likely sped up their break up.
