DDG Calls to 'Drop the Case' in '17 More Years' as Custody Fight With Halle Bailey Continues

The release comes as the Los Angeles case proceeds under temporary orders restricting social‑media posts, without any final ruling reported.

Overview

  • Released Oct. 10 on his album Moo, DDG’s track and video for 17 More Years reference ongoing court dates and legal costs.
  • In the lyrics, he urges, “go ahead and drop the case,” proposes a joint birthday for their son Halo, and says Bailey is “a good mom.”
  • Bailey obtained a temporary domestic violence restraining order in June and temporary custody, while DDG later filed his own restraining‑order request.
  • In a court declaration, Bailey denied DDG’s claims, disclosed treatment for anxiety and depression, and asserted she remains fully capable as a parent.
  • Court documents from August show hearings addressed social‑media posts about Halo and modified a prior temporary order, and the proceedings are still active.
