On Jan. 28, the singer and actress clapped back at haters on X, formerly Twitter, after a user claimed that she “lied” and gaslit people on social media about her pregnancy. The netizen claimed that Bailey wanted “desperate” folks online to know “every little detail” about her motherhood journey now that she’s safely given birth to her son, Halo, with DDG. Bailey, 23, quickly shutdown the shady X user.

“I never lied or even said anything about it honey, making a joke about my nose was the farthest I went,” the star wrote. “I’ll never understand why you are mad I protected my own peace, wouldn’t you do the same? And i’m gonna share my pics now if I want to because my son is here safely, if u don’t wanna see it just keep scrolling baby lol God bless you!”

In a separate post, the new mom also slammed a netizen who suggested that she stop posting pictures of her pregnancy online, because fans simply didn’t “care” about the news. Bailey did not hold back.

“If u don’t care why are u responding then sweetheart? Just don’t care by living ur best life and not commenting on mine,” the “Do It” songstress penned on X.

After she hit send on the post, Bailey told fans that she would be logging off of social media to her protect her peace.

“lol my hormones have been on 10 recently so i’m gonna go back to staying off twitter. Love you all,” she wrote in a follow-up post.
