00:00 Halle Bailey's boyfriend doesn't seem to like being part of her world.
00:04 In his new song "Famous," DDG appears to rap about his relationship with the Little Mermaid star,
00:10 saying, "I don't even ask for much. I ask you to do the basic,
00:14 'Hardest thing I did was fall in love with a famous bitch.'"
00:17 He then hints at the 23-year-old's new Disney blockbuster, which she stars in alongside Jonah
00:23 Howard King, who plays the live-action Prince Eric to her Ariel.
00:28 "Film in a movie, now you kissin' dudes. You know I love you a lot.
00:31 I don't give a f--- if that f--- for promo. I don't wanna see this f--- no more," he claims.
00:37 Fans were quick to point out the similarities in DDG's track,
00:41 recalling an image of Halle and Jonah posing on the red carpet
00:44 at the UK premiere of their film and linking hands.
00:48 "Why is y'all holdin' hands in the photo? You know I'm insecure, that's a no-no,"
00:53 the 25-year-old says in the song.
00:55 His hot take wasn't well-received by fans, though.
00:58 "Sometimes your biggest haters are those right next to you. So sad," one Twitter user wrote,
01:04 while another added,
01:05 "I love me some Halle and I want to see so much for her.
01:08 But DDG is making it increasingly hard to believe that he fits into that picture
01:13 with these embarrassing antics. It's the Little Mermaid. You didn't know she kisses the prince?"
01:18 On Sunday, DDG, whose real name is Daryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.,
01:22 tweeted, "The hate just make me wanna go harder,"
01:25 while the "Grown-ish" actress hasn't publicly commented on the lyrics.
01:29 But on Saturday, she did tease that she would have her own music coming soon.
01:34 Access Hollywood has reached out to reps for the pair for comment.
01:38 Halle and her castmates were on a world tour of premieres ahead of the Little Mermaid's release
01:42 in May. On the red carpet in Los Angeles, she reacted to her historic role with Access
01:48 Hollywood's Scott Evans.
01:49 "How are you? We can just take a moment. We can just take a
01:52 moment. Whoa. How incredible and grateful, thankful, and special is this moment right now?
02:03 How are you feeling?"
02:04 "This moment is so special. I feel so happy. I'm like, adrenaline is all running. I'm like,
02:10 I was running late. I'm like, oh my God, I've got to get there."
02:12 "But then you decided to do the original Ariel. There was like a real moment there."
02:17 "She's so amazing, yes. So I'm just, I don't know, I'm just overjoyed."
02:20 "Well, I'm about to double up the joy."
02:22 "Oh, really? Oh!"
02:24 "I cannot get enough. I can't get enough. I mean, to the mole, the baby hairs, the locks."
02:32 "It's so, it's my favorite thing ever in the world. I love the way the doll turned out. I'm
02:38 just so like, what? That's me in a doll."
02:40 "Do you know how hard it is to get this doll right now? Number one seller on Amazon right now.
02:45 It's incredible."
02:46 "Thank you."
02:46 "Okay, so I want to play a little game with you real quick. Just super, super fast.
02:50 Super, super fast. So you know the Barbie poster."
02:53 "Yes."
02:53 "So I want you to make your own caption. 'This Barbie is,' you know, ready for..."
02:57 "This Barbie is fearless, I would say. Because Ariel really is."
03:03 "Yeah, she is. Just tell me what city are you going to the Renaissance tour on?"
03:10 "Ooh, I have no idea yet. I think I'm going to be in Europe the same time she's doing
03:14 the Europe dates though. So I'm fine one of those dates for sure. Yeah."
03:20 "Let's go!"
