The Color Purple star and “Moonwalking in Calabasas” rapper went public with their romance in 2022, although they had first met in 2015.
“I grew up being on YouTube and would always see the young Black creators and was constantly inspired by them,” Halle told Essence in 2022. “He was one of them.”
And although she admits she “forgot about him” as her career was taking off, the two reconnected again when DDG released his own music.
“I really gravitated toward this one song,” she recalled. “Coincidentally he messaged me—and the rest is history.”
