Over the weekend, DDG shared a video on Instagram featuring Angel Reese, where he raps along to his newly released song, “WHAT U BAD FOR.”
In the clip, DDG stands next to Reese, and fans couldn’t help but notice the height difference between them.
DDG himself commented on the situation, joking, “she had heels on, we the same height I swear,” acknowledging the playful exchange about their stature.
Despite the focus on their height, DDG and Reese were actually promoting the track, which also features Real Boston Richey.
The song touches on DDG’s recent breakup with Halle Bailey, where he reflects on his son, Halo, and his connection to Bailey.
“Thing about Halo mommy, you know that’s my baby forever,” DDG raps, speaking to his love for his child and his ex.
However, some listeners felt that a stronger beat could have made the song’s emotional message hit harder.
While DDG has admitted that he still hasn’t fully moved on, Halle Bailey has remained more reserved, only publicly addressing issues like DDG taking Halo to a Kai Cenat stream without informing her. Despite the drama, both stars have defended each other amid online criticism, always trying to support one another in their personal lives.
The playful height joke might seem trivial, but it seems to have sparked enough attention to bring more focus to DDG’s relationship with Halle, which remains a key emotional thread in his music. Whether this tactic was intentional or not, it’s a reminder of how even lighthearted moments can lead to deeper discussions about a celebrity’s personal life. We’ll see what other antics emerge next in this ongoing saga.
