IKDR, roommates! DDG made sure your lady Halle Bailey felt ALL the love after her losses at this weekend’s NAACP Image Awards.
For context, the singer-actress was nominated in three categories at the 2024 show. She lost to Usher for ‘Artist of the Year’. She lost in the ‘Best Actress in a Film’ category to Fantasia Barrino for her performance in ‘The Color Purple’. Lastly, Bailey lost her ‘Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture’ win to Taraji P. Henson for her performance in ‘Color Purple’.
See how DDG made up with Halle Bailey
DDG revealed in a video that he was bothered by her losses, but more importantly, so was Halle Bailey. Part of the reason she was upset was because of her impact on the film industry over the past year, both culturally and in terms of representation.
“…I was kind of mad that she didn’t win because I think she should have won at least one of the awards. She won ‘The Color Purple’, but it’s like a group trophy, it’s not the same as yours, and I was very, very upset that she didn’t win, knowing the impact she made on the Black community last year and is a black awards.”
Also, for context, Halle received an NAACP Image Awards nomination for playing Ariel. However, that was the one she lost to Fantasia. DDG shared that Halle was “Kind of discouraged by this,” but he said he encouraged his lady to “forget about the awards” because she “should have won something.”

So to compensate his son’s mother, DDG decided to surprise Halle with her own awards show! He started customizing at least five mini statues with a few wins in intimate categories.
He sat Halle down and began his surprise awards show, where he later posted the results on Snapchat! At first, Halle was feeding her son Halo with a bottle and didn’t know how her man was about to woo her! He called the moment the “Halle Awards”.

What Halle Won At Her Personal Awards Show
DDG added an extra touch to her surprise by repeatedly announcing her as the sole nominee before presenting her with the first prize. Meanwhile, the busy mom smiled, laughed and blushed at her man’s efforts.
The first prize was for ‘Best Cat Sitter’. The second was for ‘Best Female’, while the third was for ‘Best Artist’ for your new single ‘In your hands.’ In the bedroom, Halle was wiping tears from her eyes. This award was for ‘Best Sweetheart’. Then came the ‘Best Partner’ award.
“You will make me cry” Halle said with her hands full of mini trophies and an empty baby bottle.
The final prize, however, was in the eyes of our sister really leaking. DDG held Halo and walked over to Halle to present her with the ‘Best Mom’ award.
DDG, adding a bit of comedy to the moment, did a little narration for his son, but kept his face out of focus from the camera.
“That was so sweet, you made me cry. You didn’t have to do that. Why did you do that?” Halle asked through tears.
