I knew this was coming when I saw memes of Halle Bailey’s son going viral on X.com. Halle and her son’s father, aspiring rapper DDG, kept her pregnancy a secret until after their son was born.
After Halo was born in December 2023, the couple revealed his existence in January 2024. First they published a photo of just his hand on Instagram. Then they revealed his face.
After that Halle and DDG couldn’t stop posting photos and videos of Halo on social media. They thrived off of their followers’ reactions to his cute photos.
Then disaster struck for Halle and DDG.
One video that DDG shared went viral in the worst way. The incident began innocently. DDG took Halo on a kiddie train ride at a local shopping mall. He uploaded the video to Instagram, where his followers couldn’t get enough of the adorable tyke’s side-eye.
Soon, the “Halo meme” hashtag began trending on TikTok and X. Social media users posted their own reactions to baby Halo’s wide-eyed stare.
At first DDG responded to the memes by laughing it off.

But Halle wasn’t in a laughing mood when she saw strangers mocking her baby.
The first-time mom took to the Internet over the weekend to lash out at social media users who continue to mock her son.
Every mother can understand Halle’s hurt and pain.
This is the consequence of oversharing on the Internet. Celebrities who overshare on social media often regret it when things go left.
As one blogger wrote: “Keep your baby off the internet!!!”
