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.
