Lala Baptiste Shuts Down DDG Cheating Rumors and Says Halle Bailey Just Jumped to Conclusions

Lala, Baptiste has finally addressed the truth, and honey, she did not stutter. The influencer and entrepreneur addressed the raging inferno of speculation that she slept with rapper DDG behind Halle Bailey’s back. Let’s say she’s not here for the drama, the lies, or the lazy assumptions.

In an open (and may we say painfully gracious) public statement, Lala cleared her name while also sympathizing with Halle Bailey, who allegedly believed something “inappropriate” went down between her boyfriend (now allegedly ex) and Lala during a group trip to Mexico. Spoiler alert: nothing did, according to Lala. And the way she told it? Clear, calm, and cunty in the most tasteful way possible.

Lala Clears The Rumors

According to Lala, the rumors stem from a straightforward situation: a group vacation.

“These accusations in general is stemming from a group trip that our whole friend group went on. Right? Our whole friend group went on this trip. And everyone on this trip can confirm there was nothing weird going on. I wasn’t even staying near them. It was for someone’s birthday. Let’s start there.”

So let’s start there, indeed. Lala says this was a friend group vacation, not a secret rendezvous, and insists that anyone present could back her up. No private villas. No late-night linkups. No scandal. Just sun, tequila, and strictly platonic vibes.

Lala reminded the world that her relationship with DDG was professional, and he had helped her launch her YouTube channel. Over time, it evolved into a friendship, but it never crossed the line of intimacy. And yes, she said never, in all caps.

“Me and Daryl’s relationship has always been strictly… started off as business. Obviously, if you know, you know. Like, he put me onto YouTube. Started off there, grew into a friendship, has always remained platonic.”

Translation: Y’all need to stop projecting your own fantasies onto her life.

“I Would’ve Felt the Same Way”: Lala Understands Why Halle Was Suspicious

But here’s where things got deliciously mature and shockingly introspective. Lala didn’t drag Halle. She didn’t belittle her, didn’t call her insecure, didn’t even say, “That’s on her.” Instead, she empathized with the Oscar-nominated siren because Sis has been there.

“Halle saw that I was there, saw that I was on this trip with him. And of course, she had every right to jump to conclusions at that point, because I would have done the same thing. Like, I’m a girl. I know how it is.”

Lala went on to explain how love, confusion, and off-and-on relationships can easily make even the most self-assured woman spiral. And honestly? That’s not just accountability; it’s evolution.

But she didn’t stop there. Apparently, Halle confronted the situation privately, reaching out to Lala for a one-on-one woman-to-woman chat. No Twitter threads. No shade-throwing. Just two women handling their business off the grid. And yes, Lala kept it classy by refusing to spill the tea on what was said.

“We had a private conversation. I’m not gonna disclose details, because that’s between me and her. And out of respect, it’s not my place to disclose that information.”

“My Character Is Being Tested”: Lala Defends Her Integrity and the Right to Have Male Friends Without Chaos

For the girls in the back who still want to act brand new, Lala made one more thing crystal clear. Women and men can be friends. And if that idea sends you spiraling into mistrust and conspiracy, maybe the problem isn’t her. It’s you.

“It’s genuinely possible to actually have a platonic friendship with a guy. Like, it’s possible.”

Lala expressed frustration that her character was being questioned and that society still refuses to believe a woman can exist around a man without sleeping with him. The fact that this narrative persists in 2025 is honestly embarrassing for all of us.

And yet, she remained unbothered, unshaken, and unproblematic because that’s what happens when you have nothing to hide and receipts in your back pocket.

So, Where Do Things Stand?

Lala says the whole situation happened a long time ago and that things have been “cool” between her and Halle since. No beef. No subliminal disses towards Halle. Just clarity and closure for everyone interested in knowing the situation.

Let’s be very clear: the internet owes Lala Baptiste an apology. While everyone was busy accusing, assuming, and slut-shaming, she was vibing on a group vacation, fully clothed and fully innocent. And instead of clapping back with venom, she chose empathy, explanation, and class.

Moral of the story? Don’t let the group chat get you caught up. And maybe, just maybe, believe women when they say nothing happened. Because sometimes, it really didn’t.

Now, let her live.
