Ahead of his second birthday, Halo had a hair appointment for which celebrity stylist Jehcara Nelson was chosen. Nelson styled his beautiful, thick hair in twists. How do we know this? Nelson posted about it on social media, despite an active court order banning Halle Bailey, DDG, and their family and friends from posting content of the minor online. After facing intense backlash, Nelson cleared the air online and deleted the footage.

Celebrity Stylist Releases Statements After Posting Prohibited Footage Of Halo
On Dec. 20, Live Bitez shared footage sourced from Jehcara Nelson’s Instagram Stories, @strandsoflifehair. One video shows a child sitting still in a high chair, as Jehcara brags from behind the camera about a hairbrush being her secret to the silence. In the clip, she says that she doesn’t want to show his face. So, instead, she refers to him as a “famous baby,” and shared top, side and back angles of Halo’s hair. She also wrote on the video, “Famous Baby Chronicles: Guess the famous baby lol.” Jehcara Nelson also allegedly included a final look at Halo’s fresh ‘do, with the caption, “2nd birthday loading.”

But Nelson’s proud voice didn’t last too long! It appears she began catching instant heat given the court-ordered social media ban. It’s unclear if that heat came from Halle Bailey, DDG or their collective fans.
In October, the co-parents moved to drop their mutual domestic violence restraining order requests. Additionally, they reached a temporary custody agreement that granted Halle physical custody of Halo, except on Wednesdays and certain weekends, as reported by the LA Times. The paperwork also outlined their agreement on birthdays and this holiday season, though those details are not known to the public. Most relevant to Jehcara Nelson’s slip is the social media policy, which the judge set in August, per PEOPLE.
“Neither party shall post, upload or disseminate on the internet or any social media platforms, photographs, images, and or/information regarding the Minor Child,” the October court documents reportedly state. That rules also applies to friends and family of Halle Bailey and DDG.
In this case, it’s unclear if Nelson falls under the “friends” category, given that she was apparently hired to provide a service. Still, a screenshot shared by Live Bitez shows that she posted a lengthy apology and accountability statement on Instagram Story, before setting her account on private. She started off by admitting that her post “included Halo,” then said she “did not have consent from Halle to post him.”
“…this was my mistake entirely. I was not aware that sharing his image would conflict with an existing court agreement, and there was absolutely no intent to cross any boundaries or cause harm. Halle was not aware that I posted the content, and this situation is in no way her fault. As soon as it was brought to my attention, I took responsibility and removed. I sincerely apologize for the oversight and for any concern it caused. I respect Halle and her family deeply.”

Halle Bailey Tweets About Halo’s Birthday As Social Media Sounds Off On Stylist
Before Halo’s second birthday on December 23, according to timestamps, Halle tweeted a sweet note about motherhood. She wrote, “Two years ago today I became a mommy. time flies, had such a great day.”
Halle did not, and has not addressed the mishap with the stylist. But fans in the comment section of Live Bitez’s IG recap post have continued to sound off.
‘Love & Hip Hop’ Hollywood’s Moniece Slaughter said, “Why are you posting anyone’s minor child? Celebrity kid or not, without the knowledge or consent of both parents?”
@coachkandaka commented, “We all knew that! That’s why we haven’t seen Halo’s facial expressions to have viral memes with in months! 😩 he’s so adorable though!”
@geminijo15 added, “If his own mama and daddy can’t post him why would you think YOU could.” While @cvshxhippi3 said, “Why would you post someone’s child bro.”
“She just THOUGHT nobody was gonna peep who it was,” @honeywit_tea wrote.
@heartcmarie commented, “Why would you ever post someone else’s child without the parents consent? Idc who the baby is, it’s a minor and you shouldn’t be posting them without asking first smh.”
@teinishyia weighed in, “If DDG Team did this these comments would be DIFFERENT.”
“I’m a bit confused on how she didn’t know because she’s been Halle’s personal stylist for years & she travels & stays with her when she’s filming movies cause she does her hair on set 😂😭,” @imjustachlover questioned.
What’s New With Daddy DDG?
Though Halo is no longer allowed to join livestreams, it hasn’t stopped his dad from having them. This year, DDG has continued to make waves with his online content, including whispers of a romance with India Love amid flirty energy between them. Aside from his love life, he’s continued to release music, and on Monday kicked off a. 72-hour stream.
Also recently, the 28-year-old Pops went back and forth with a millionaire about whether streaming is a real job, given his Chevy ride. Watch the clip below.
