DDG has admitted the controversial gift he got for his son Halo’s first birthday – a full size Ferrari – was actually just a rental.

The rapper/YouTuber was met with a lot of negative reactions from fans online when he posted the “gift” back in December, as clearly the one-year-old can’t operate a real car yet.

But during a new live stream with model India Love, DDG admitted it was not an actual purchase.

“Want me to be honest? I rented it. Okay? I said it,” he told her. “I think it was cool. It was a good moment. He gon’ be able to look at it when he get older.”

Elsewhere at Halo’s first birthday oarty, DDG and his ex-girlfriend/co-parent Halle Bailey reunited publicly for the first time since their split earlier this year.

Bailey also serenaded Halo by singing happy birthday to him in front of partygoers.

The former couple also posted separate happy birthday messages to their child.

Bailey wrote: “365 days ago my baby came can’t believe he’s 1 !! will post more later today.”

DDG added: “THE BEST BABY IN THE WORLD JUST TURNED 1!”

This is not the first time that DDG’s decisions have been called into question after Halle Bailey criticized him for taking their young son on Kai Cenat’s livestream without telling her.

“[H]i everyone. just so you know i am out of town and i don’t approve of my baby being on a stream tonight,” she wrote on X in November.

“[I] wasn’t told or notified and i am extremely upset to have my baby in front of millions of people. i am his mother and protector and saddened that i wasn’t notified especially when i am out of town.”

In a follow-up post, the singer and actress added: “[A]s a woman experiencing severe postpartum, there are boundaries that i wish to be respected. nobody knows what someone is going through until they snap.”

Halle’s comments were criticized by fans of DDG, but the rapper supported her statement as the couple tried to navigate their split.
