DDG Releases '17 More Years,' Urges End to Court Fight With Halle Bailey

The track arrives as a Los Angeles court continues managing custody with related domestic-violence proceedings under temporary orders.

Overview

  • On his new album Moo, DDG raps that he is "tired of the court dates" and asks to "drop the case," suggesting a joint birthday for their son, Halo.
  • A minimalistic video released Friday shows him performing the song on a California hilltop at dusk.
  • Court filings show Halle Bailey obtained a temporary domestic-violence restraining order in June and later secured temporary custody.
  • DDG filed a counter-request for a restraining order alleging suicide threats, which Bailey denied while stating in a declaration that she received treatment and is fully capable as a parent.
  • An August hearing addressed social-media posts about the child and modified a prior restraining order as the cases proceed together.
