In the wake of recent courtroom controversy involving Halle Bailey and DDG, Lala Baptiste has firmly denied any romantic involvement with the rapper, dismissing claims she was his “side chick.”

The drama surfaced recently during a court session where Bailey’s legal team introduced text exchanges—allegedly between DDG and an unnamed woman—tosupport her narrative that DDG was unfaithful. These texts, released as part of theevidence, hinted at a clandestine relationship that Bailey asserted included interactionswith Baptiste. Bailey’s counsel suggested that DDG and the woman were also seen together during a trip to Paris. The star framed these revelations as part of a pattern of betrayal, accusing him of infidelity supported by the documents.

Lala Baptiste has rejected Bailey’s portrayal with a flat denial. Multiple insiders close to Baptiste tell the press she “never had a romantic relationship with DDG,” emphasizing that rumors linking her to the rapper are both inaccurate and hurtful. The sources indicate she was neither the person referenced in the court‑filed texts nor seen in Paris with him, as Bailey’s claims implied. One insider asserted that Baptiste remains “deeply upset” by the baseless allegations.

Discourse on social platforms like Lipstick Alley flaming up these rumors often repeated that “Lala was messing with DDG when he was with Rubi Rose,” another woman in DDG’s past, but these claims are widely discredited online. Digital sleuths cautioned that timelines don’t support Bailey’s version, noting Baptiste was involved with rapper Lil Tjay at the time—a relationship unrelated to DDG.

For context, DDG and Halle Bailey’s relationship ended in late 2024 after nearly three years together and the birth of their son, Halo. Their post‑split journey has been turbulent, from public social media conflicts over co‑parenting timing to leaked burner‑account drama and public spats following DDG’s song “Famous,” which sparked jealousy allegations.

Baptiste, best known as a social media influencer and previously associated with DDG’s Zooted label, issued a statement via a spokesperson affirming she’s “never been romantically involved” with DDG. She plans to pursue legal action, including potential defamation claims, should Bailey’s allegations persist or be spread further by media outlets. Sources say she has reached out to her legal team to explore her options.
