Rapper and YouTuber DDG recently caused a stir online after posting a video showing the birthday gift he got for his son, Halo.
A red Ferrari sports car for a one-year-old seemed excessive to many, sparking widespread criticism. Social media users questioned the practicality, considering Halo is far from driving age. The comment “This is dumbest thing I ever seen,” echoed the sentiments of many.
Some fans accused DDG of being disingenuous, suggesting the gift was more for himself than his son. “Me expecting a power wheel “, wrote one unimpressed viewer, highlighting the mismatch between the gift and a toddler’s needs.
Others shared similar opinions, thinking it’d be something more age-appropriate like a toy car. The consensus was that the extravagant present seemed self-indulgent.
Amidst the uproar, Halo’s first birthday party saw his parents, DDG and Halle Bailey, reunite publicly for the first time since their breakup. Bailey sang happy birthday to Halo, adding a sentimental touch to the occasion.
Both parents took to social media to share heartfelt messages dedicated to Halo. Bailey expressed disbelief at how fast a year had passed since Halo’s birth, while DDG proclaimed Halo as “THE BEST BABY IN THE WORLD.”
The couple’s previous disagreements over parenting decisions have also been public. Notably, Halle Bailey had voiced concerns over DDG involving their child in a livestream without informing her, pointing out the need for communication and respect while she was struggling with postpartum issues.
Online criticisms highlighted the communication gap and the importance of respecting boundaries in co-parenting. DDG, despite the critiques, has not publicly addressed these issues but acknowledged Bailey’s desire for boundaries.
The birthday gift incident reopened discussions about celebrity parenting choices, showcasing how public figures’ actions are scrutinized. DDG’s choice raised questions about the intentions and outcomes of gifting such lavish items to young children.
The Ferrari gift has ignited debates about parenting in the spotlight, showing the balance famous parents must strike between their public and private lives.
