DDG, the Michigan-born rapper and YouTube personality has never been one to shy away from stirring the pot online. But this time, his most recent post has the whole internet in a frenzy. Meanwhile, on April 1, he posted a sonogram picture, writing on his X (formerly Twitter) account, “halo’s little brother otw.” Unsurprisingly, fans and followers wasted no time reacting, with some congratulating what looked like a pregnancy announcement, while others were skeptical considering the date, April Fool’s Day.
In case some people don’t know, DDG shares his first child, Halo, with R&B songstress Halle Bailey. The couple has kept much of their family life private since they welcomed their son, so the reason for this sudden “announcement” is all the more seemingly interesting. But in that case, please leave it to The Shade Room to do some digging, and of course, they discovered that the sonogram DDG put up wasn’t his. The photo is from a 2020 Global Action Plan Organization article describing how air pollution affects pregnancy.

Despite the clear prank, responses online were far from uniform. Some fans seemed to be in on the joke, lecturing others about the date, “Did we all forget what day today is? ” Others, however, weren’t as amused. “It’s your little brother,” one user sarcastically said. Another fan noted an interesting pattern, “He did this last time and she really was pregnant!!” That’s not an empty comment back in 2022 DDG did something very similar, posting a sonogram with the caption “can’t wait to be your dad
.” And that time, it turned out, was true.
So, is this déjà vu all over again? Or is this DDG just having a little fun at the internet’s expense? And since the image had already circulated by that point, it stands to reason that if he were announcing another baby on the way, he wouldn’t have been the only one to do so. But judging by his previous antics, DDG loves to keep fans on their toes.
