DDG lost it when a podcaster called out Halle Bailey on social media, comparing the singer to E.T. and calling her ugly.
Right-wing internet personality Elijah Schaffer, who was recently fired from Glenn Beck’s media outlet The Blaze following a sexual assault allegation, unleashed a torrent of backlash from Halle Bailey fans after coming for The Little Mermaid star’s looks.
“When exactly did Hollywood become flooded with ugly people?” he wrote alongside a photo of Bailey. “I say this as a 100% certified ugly person myself. We recognize our own but she’s not even ugly hot.”
He followed up with a photo of the eponymous alien from the 1982 movie, E.T. “The new Little Mermaid actress,” he wrote, igniting intense backlash from social media users.
However, before DDG could respond, social media users went after Schaffer. Many accused him of racism, while others dug into his background and began mocking his late mother.
Schaffer then fanned the flames with a pair of posts referring to users objecting to his remarks. “My comment section today is Six Flags,” he wrote alongside a video of chaotic scenes unfolding at the amusement park. He followed up with an image of a Black baby crying.
DDG eventually caught wind of the drama and took to X to defend the mother of his child. He pulled no punches and went after the controversial journalist’s deceased mother before calling him out on the assault allegations.
“I’m smokin on yo dead ass mama,” he began, posting a photo of Schaffer and his mother. “That dumb b#### should’ve got a better doctor LMFAO.”
The rapper and YouTuber then posted a photo of him smoking with Schaffer’s late mom’s face photoshopped on the end of his blunt.
He shared another few images mocking Schaffer before claiming he was “done.” However, he returned a short while later with a post taunting Shaffer over the loss of his mother.
