???? âIâll Just Put My S**t in a Cupâ: DDG Talks Future Fatherhood Plans
During a recent livestream from Paris Fashion Week, the 26-year-old YouTuber-turned-rapper shocked fans by candidly discussing the idea of using fertility clinics and surrogacy if he decides to expand his family.
âIf Iâm 29 or something like that, and I ainât got the time,â DDG told viewers.
âIâll just go to that little place, do my little one-two, put my s**t in a cup. Take a little egg from somebody, throw it in another little body. Cook that motherfr up for nine months. You can do that type st when you got money. Thatâll alleviate a lot of s**t.â
His blunt description quickly made the rounds on social media, sparking mixed reactions. Some fans accused him of being âdisrespectfulâ and âinsensitiveâ amid his current custody battle, while others defended his right to consider alternative parenting options.
âď¸ Inside the DDG and Halle Bailey Custody War
DDGâs comments come at a tense time in his personal life. Earlier this year, Halle Bailey, 24, was granted full custody of their toddler son after accusing the rapper of repeated physical abuse during their relationship.
In May, a judge issued a restraining order against DDG, prohibiting him from contacting Bailey outside of legal proceedings.
DDG has denied the abuse allegations and fired back with his own legal claims. He accused Bailey of emotional manipulation, alleging that she made threats involving self-harmâclaims Bailey has strongly denied.
âI am mentally sound and fully capable of caring for Halo,â Bailey said in court filings.

The pair, who began dating in early 2022 and split in October 2024, welcomed Halo in December 2023.
A court hearing to finalize permanent custody arrangements is scheduled for July in Los Angeles.
