"Bro just didn't have that energy" — Internet reacts to DDG changing the topic after Kai Cenat points out Halle Bailey's post on screen
Social media entered a frenzy when famous rapper and YouTube personality DDG shifted the conversation during a live stream with streamer Kai Cenat when Halle Bailey's social media post appeared on the screen.
On November 6, 2024, during a live stream session on Kai Cenat's Twitch channel, DDG appeared alongside his 9-month-old son, Halo, whom he shares with Bailey. As news of their appearance circulated, Bailey expressed her displeasure on her X account in a since-deleted tweet.
However, when Cenat brought her tweet to DDG's attention on stream, he quickly shifted the conversation, sparking a wave of reactions and speculation across social media. Many users on X suggested that DDG did not respond with the same enthusiasm and attitude as expected in that particular situation.
"Bro just didn't have that energy," one commented.
Moreover, numerous users on X responded humorously, suggesting they respected DDG's decision not to dwell on the topic. Others playfully commented on Halo's presence, joking that the infant might think Cenat was trying to stir things up.
"DDG ain't tryna waste his time, i respect it 😭," one netizen commented.
"The son like "why this mans tryna start shit,"" another wrote.
"bro is not tryna be involved in that😭," a third noted.
"DDG in this moment," one more commented.
However, some users on X expressed confusion, questioning what, if anything, DDG did wrong. They pointed out that, as Halo's father, he can bring his child wherever he chooses. Others suggested that he wanted to have Halo present during the stream.
"i don't get it? l they both be posting him on tt and the internet as a whole. why is it a problem now," one commented.
"lmfao ddg just wanted to get halo some presents 😭," another on X.
"Seriously what did DDG do wrong? He's literally the father of Halo, bro don't need permission for shi," a third commented.
"They read her post like," one more on X.
DDG, whose real name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., appeared on stream with his son Halo, dressed in matching all-black outfits. Although Halle Bailey has publicly addressed his appearance, neither DDG nor Kai Cenat have commented on her response or the ensuing online reactions.
