“Even though we’re a few days into the new year, the greatest thing that 2023 could have done for me, was bring me my son…” The Color Purple star captioned the a photo of her hand holding that of a infant’s adorned with a gold bracelet that reads “Halo.”

She also added a snarky shot at fans who constantly pieced together clues to determine whether or not she was pregnant, trolling or both.

“Welcome to the world my halo, the world is desperate to know you.” Oop!

Just hours before Halle announced the birth of their son, DDG hinted at the baby’s name in a new song.

In “Darryl Freestyle” he raps: “Silver spoon kid, I know Halo don’t want for nothing / He crying, his mama coming, she stronger than Wonder Woman / Could’ve let this city chew me up, but I stayed 100 / That’s the main reason when they beef me them n***as plummet.”

i’m glad halle announced because we would’ve never heard this song https://t.co/9NFZDjns8L

Naturally, fans were confused about whether or not the known troll was trolling but it’s clear that he was not.

Also worth noting is the rapper/youtuber posting a sonogram on April Fool’s Day 2023 that absolutely NO ONE believed at the time. Oh DDG, you sinister lil menace, you.

Not DDG posting Halle Bailey’s ultrasound on April Fools when people would think it’s a joke. This is unhinged https://t.co/JudOwxr4xV
