Influencer Lala Baptiste has publicly denied claims that she had an affair with rapper DDG while he was in a relationship with singer Halle Bailey. The allegations surfaced after leaked text messages showed Bailey confronting DDG over a rumored incident involving Baptiste during a group trip to Mexico in March 2024.
In a recent livestream, Baptiste addressed the controversy, explaining that the trip was a group vacation celebrating a friend’s birthday. She insisted there was no inappropriate behavior between her and DDG, emphasizing that their relationship has always been purely platonic. Their connection, she said, began as a professional collaboration when DDG helped her launch her YouTube channel.
Understanding the sensitivity of the situation, Baptiste expressed empathy for Bailey’s feelings, noting that seeing her on the trip might have caused misunderstandings. She revealed having a private conversation with Bailey to clear the air but chose not to disclose the details out of respect for privacy.
Legal Battles Continue Between DDG and Halle Bailey
This revelation comes amid ongoing legal disputes between DDG and Bailey. On June 4, 2025, DDG filed an emergency motion citing what he described as an “imminent emotional and psychological risk” to their child, Halo, referencing Bailey’s alleged past behavior involving threats of self-harm and erratic conduct. He requested sole legal and physical custody or, alternatively, that custody exchanges be supervised by a third party.
Bailey has responded by opposing DDG’s motion, stating her need to travel for work and accusing DDG and his legal team of ignoring her attempts to arrange monitored visitations following a temporary restraining order issued against him on May 13, 2025.
As the drama unfolds, fans and followers continue to watch closely, with Baptiste’s denial adding another layer to this complex situation.
