Rapper DDG has filed an emergency motion in court to prevent actress and singer Halle Bailey from taking their infant son, Halo, out of the country, claiming she poses an “imminent emotional and psychological risk” to the child, according to TMZ.

The legal filing, submitted Wednesday morning, outlines DDG’s urgent request for a hearing ahead of Halle’s planned trip to Italy this Saturday with their son. DDG argues the court must intervene, citing concerns over Halle’s mental health and her ability to safely care for Halo without court oversight.

As evidence, DDG references several past incidents he finds troubling. He claims that while Halle was pregnant, she once took his firearm without his knowledge and left the home, only for him to later find her outside holding the weapon. He also alleges Halle considered having an abortion without informing him, but ultimately changed her mind.

In another alleged incident, two months after Halo’s birth, DDG says Halle sent a string of alarming texts threatening suicide and suggesting harm to their child.

The situation is further complicated by Halle’s previous accusations of abuse against DDG, including claims that he once slammed her face into a steering wheel, chipping her tooth. DDG disputes that account, stating that during a custody exchange, Halle unexpectedly jumped into his vehicle and began striking him. He claims her injuries were the result of her momentum as she lunged from the backseat and hit the steering wheel.

DDG also submitted photos of a hand injury he says was caused by Halle during a separate altercation, asserting that he has also experienced abuse in the relationship.

He is now seeking full legal and physical custody of their son. If not granted sole custody, DDG is asking the court to require all custody exchanges be handled through a third party.

TMZ reports they have reached out to Halle Bailey for comment, but have not yet received a response.
