One-year-old Halo put them paws on his pops, DDG, after getting taunted for losing a video game.
The 27-year-old Pontiac, Mich., rapper, who was born Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., was playing a game with his 1-year-old son when dad had to pull rank on his toddler.
After he vanquished his son, DDG, the former boyfriend of singer-actress Halle Bailey, got up on his son’s face and spit some trash talk at Halo.
Halo hauled off on his father, DDG
Clearly irritated at having his father inches from his grill, the son turned away, then turned back to DDG before hauling off and slapping his father.
Feigning shock, DDG recoiled with his mouth wide open — to the delight of many netizens.
When DDG went back to continue taunting the son, he pushed his face away, which again elicited laughs from cyberspace users. Others, however, expressed concerns about how this may play out when the son grows in both years and size.
Many fans ate up the moment Halo slapped DDG
“Halo didn’t even hesitate before going for the second attempt! DDG provoked him, and he knew what had to be done,” one fan said, while a second said, “Halo always putting paws on Dad, these two are so funny together.”
A third theorized, “He slapping you cos he remembered that lemon,” while a fourth surmised that “He ain’t in the mood today lol.” A fourth fan said “Halo actin lik Cuzzo woo wop.”
Many other fans expressed concern about DDG setting boundaries early with Halo
Many fans who are parents looked askance at DDG letting his son smack him and push him away without any repercussions. Some believe that this may have future consequences.
“Get him in control now Daryl. No kid should put hands on parents,” expressed one concerned fan.
A parent was uneasy about the video. “My goodness. I have 4 children and thank God I’ve never ever experienced this when they were babies and not even now grown,” she said. “Hope whatever or however Halo felt this is just for them to stop whatever is making him like that. God pour onto him calmness loving kindness heart attitude tours his parents.”
A third fan added: “Now you must set BOUNDARIES, CONTROL, MANNERISM and RESPECT because if you don’t that Slapping in Face and Pulling Hair will get WORSE.”
A fourth fan was so disquieted by the video that she said a prayer for the father and son.
“Whoa Halo, what’s up sweet baby? I have tears in my eyes and feeling uneasy by this video. I pray in the name of Jesus that Halo will be delivered now from anger and any negative energy around him. May God’s Peace, Love, Joy reign supreme in DDG, his family, and home. May God place a hedge of protection around them🩷🩷.”
