DDG Honors Halle Bailey With "Best Mother Award" After Perceived 2024 NAACP Image Awards Snub

On Saturday (March 16) night, Halle Bailey and DDG attended the 55th Annual NAACP Image Awards. The “Angel” singer was nominated for Entertainer of the Year, Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture, and Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture. Although she didn’t take home any solo awards, The Color Purple won big in several categories.

“I was kinda mad that she didn’t win. I feel like she should have won at least one of the awards,” the Michigan rapper explained in a video shared on Sunday (March 17). “I was very, very upset that she didn’t win knowing how much of an impact she made on the Black community last year and it’s a Black award show… She was kinda down and out about it.” 

In light of her recent losses, DDG honored the mother of his son by hosting the “Halle Awards,” a heartfelt unofficial ceremony. “Halle Bailey for the Best Woman Award,” he announced in a separate clip as the songstress became visibly emotional. Halo, their baby boy, adorably presented the final trophy for Best Mother Award, which caused her to shed tears of joy.

 

Bailey’s relationship with DDG has been a hot topic since they announced it in 2022. The pair secretly welcomed their first child together the following year and waited to reveal the big news until January 2024.

“I have never felt more creatively inspired in my whole life,” the actress told The Associated Press about her experience as a mother in February. “This is such a beautiful time for me because I am truly venturing into my womanhood. Like, I feel like a woman now after having a baby.”

She added, “It opens up this whole other portal to, like, write about stuff. So the music I have been making is the fusion of all of the genres that I’ve loved.”

Knocked Loose have unveiled a crushing new single ‘Suffocate’ featuring Poppy — listen to it below.

Last night, the American hardcore band shared the video for ‘Suffocate’ via Pure Noise’s YouTube channel. The track starts with a furious, hard-hitting riff as the band waste no time, diving straight into the heaviness and aggression.

Soon, Poppy joins them, screaming and leading the band into a heavy reggaeton-inspired breakdown. Watch the music video for Knocked Loose’s ‘Suffocate’ featuring Poppy below.

‘Suffocate’ is taken off Knocked Loose’s upcoming third album ‘You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To’, which is due for release on May 10 via Pure Noise. The album will also include a collaboration with Chris Motionless from Motionless In White.

Prior to releasing ‘Suffocate’, Knocked Loose released the lead single ‘Blinding Faith’ in February to accompany the album’s reveal, followed by ‘Don’t Reach For Me’ in March.

Knocked Loose are set to play Sick New World festival in Las Vegas this weekend. The band were announced alongside System Of A Down, Slipknot and Slowdive – check for any remaining tickets here.

On the Poppy front, ‘Suffocate’ comes after she collaborated with Bad Omens on ‘V.A.N.’ earlier this year. The track marked her first release since dropping her latest album ‘Zig’ in October last year.

NME caught up with Poppy to chat about the album, during which she spoke about the importance of mystery in her music: “I prefer to let people interpret them. I feel like they change meaning over time and sometimes it’s a little bit too personal – not with ‘Motorbike’, that one’s not as close [to me]. But I feel like sometimes it gets a little bit washed out if you over-explain what a song is about to you. Because once it’s out there, it belongs to them, whoever they are.”
