DDG does not play about his girlfriend Halle Bailey. Elijah Schaffer, host of Slightly Offensive with Elijah Schaffer, went viral for calling Bailey "ugly" and comparing her to E.T.

"When exactly did Hollywood become flooded with ugly people?" he wrote alongside a photo of Bailey. "I say this as a 100% certified ugly person myself. We recognize our own but she’s not even ugly hot."

He then followed up with a photo of E.T. from the 1982 movie, "The new Little Mermaid actress," he wrote.

While the above post refers Bailey as DDG's "wife," they are not married.


DDG Responds To Elijah Schaffer's Comments About Halle Bailey

DDG did not take Schaffer's comments lightly and responded by posting a photo of Schaffer and his late mother, "I’m smokin on yo dead a-- mama. That dumb bitch should’ve got a better doctor LMFAO."

He then uploaded a photo of himself smoking marijuana with a photo of Schaffer's mother on the end. "NGL this s--- gas," he captioned the photo.

Schaffer's mother died in 2020 from cancer.

Social Media Responds To Elijah Schaffer's Comments About Halle Bailey

DDG wasn't the only one to defend The Little Mermaid actress on social media. Fans also attacked Schaffer for his comments about the singer.

"calling halle bailey ugly is literally insane like something must be wrong with your vision that needs to be professionaly diagnosed she has a literal princess face like this is a face that people would go to war over," a fan wrote in defense of the actress.

"We don't care," a fan wrote in response to Schaffer's post. "You attacked that girl for no reason. You could have been talking about any other "ugly" white actress (the list is long) but you chose Halle, so you can't be mad at people who clap back. And yeah, no one said anything about you calling yourself ugly bc it's TRUE."

"Twitter jumping on Elijah for talking crazy about Halle is exactly the energy I love to see," a fan responded.

"The Black community sliding for Halle Bailey with the greatest "Yo Mama" in history is absolutely legendary," another fan wrote.
