Halle Bailey And DDG Spark Dating Rumors After Being Spotted Together At Usher Concert

Roommates, the transition from end to beginning of year seems to be taking a romantic toll. Couples have been popping out to the public over the last few weeks. The latest pair to spark talks of dating is Halle Bailey and DDG, who previously dated Rubi Rose. A concert attendee captured Halle and DDG kicking it and cozy at Usher’s concert over the weekend. As expected, the innanet (internet) lost it.

The circulating video clip is only about three seconds long. Halle and DDG are seen sitting down next to each other. Halle turns to DDG in an excited manner saying “oh my god” with a huge smile. DDG slightly bops his head and smiles at Halle’s reaction, while staring at the stage in front of them and holding a cup.

Neither Halle or DDG posted each other enjoying the outing together. However, DDG did share video footage of Usher performing to his Instagram Story–proving he was actually in the building. Usher later shared photos to his Instagram Story featuring the supposed couple backstage. In one photo, DDG wrapped one arm around Halle’s shoulders while throwing up a hand sign with the other. He flashes a smile, while Halle rocks a face mask and seemingly leans into him. Usher stands next to the pair while striking what looks like a moving pose.

The video clip and Usher’s photos did little to curb the dating rumors. In fact, the photos added another layer of discussion and trending moments. Fans even re-visited a December viral conversation about Halle being spotted in one of DDG’s recent YouTube videos.

As of Monday night, Halle and DDG kept quiet about their weekend adventure. The Shade Room reached out to Halle for denial or confirmation of a relationship, however we did not receive a response by the time of publication.
