Rapper and YouTuber DDG has filed an emergency motion to prevent “The Little Mermaid” actress, Halle Bailey, from taking their 17-month-old son, Halo, on a trip to Italy.
According to court documents obtained by "PEOPLE", DDG highlights concerns about Bailey’s mental health and stability. He claims that Bailey poses an “imminent emotional and psychological risk” to their son, basing the claims on repeated and documented threats of self-harm.
He reportedly filed the documents on Wednesday, June 4, requesting an emergency hearing, stating that Bailey has made plans to fly out with Halo on Saturday.
Additionally, he is asking the courts to prevent that from happening, stating that Bailey is not mentally well enough to ensure their child is taken care of and that he worries about what she may do should she leave the court’s jurisdiction.
According to a recent "TMZ" report, Bailey has filed with the courts to deny the rapper’s requests and is asking for permission to be granted for her to take their child to Paris as she has to go work there.
The custody battle between DDG and Bailey has been ongoing, with both parties seeking different arrangements. In May, Bailey accused DDG of physical and emotional abuse and filed for a restraining order.
She later filed for sole custody of Halo, alleging that the 27-year-old rapper has a pattern of abuse against her and being uncooperative with parenting, including hiding their child and threatening to take him away from her.
The 25-year-old actress’s request included supervised visits for DDG, to be facilitated by a professional organisation, once a week for six hours while Halo is in Los Angeles (LA).
Bailey also asked the court to restrict DDG from taking Halo outside of LA County, citing concerns about child abduction.
Additionally, she asked the court to order DDG not to move with Halo without her written permission, to surrender any travel documents and provide detailed travel plans if they do travel together.
This included round-trip airline tickets, contact information, and an open ticket for Bailey in case Halo is not returned.
