DDG Compares Himself to Michael Jackson Amid Custody Battle: 'Sh*t Crazy'

DDG has suggested he understands how Michael Jackson felt about fame amid his bitter custody battle with his ex-girlfriend Halle Bailey.

On Thursday (June 5), DDG reflected on all the attention he's been getting as of late in a post shared on X. "Now I know how Michael Jackson felt being famous," he wrote, not directly addressing the drama surrounding his relationship with Bailey. "Shit crazy."

Throughout his career, Michael Jackson faced a lot of media attention as the biggest pop star in the world. But he also went to trial in one of the most famous court cases in history when he was accused of child sexual abuse, which he was tried and acquitted of in 2005.

Earlier this week, DDG filed a motion to stop Halle Bailey from leaving the country with their son, Halo. He filed a temporary restraining order against the singer/actor, but the judge in the case denied the motion and will allow her to travel with their son to Italy to film a movie. In her response, she argued that he hasn't contributed "any regular support" since their child was born.

She added that he used the courts to retaliate against her because he knew about her work commitment for months. She also accused him of exaggerating the state of her mental health struggles and admitted that she has suffered from suicidal thoughts in the past, but she has received therapy and poses no threat to their son. Bailey recently highlighted DDG's brother getting into a fist fight as proof that she should have sole custody.

Meanwhile, DDG has accused his ex-girlfriend of illegally tracking his location through the use of Apple AirTags she placed in his cars and their 18-month-old child's diaper bag. He also claimed that she physically abused him and took his gun while threatening to end her life.
