The American rapper and influencer DDG (Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.) grabbed attention by celebrating his son’s first birthday with an unconventional gift: a Ferrari F8 Tributo worth over $300,000.
The Ferrari, with an impressive 710 horsepower and capable of reaching speeds of up to 211 mph, was revealed during a Cocomelon-themed party, generating a mix of admiration and controversy.
A Luxurious Birthday
The celebration, organized for little Halo, DDG’s son with actress and singer Halle Bailey (star of The Little Mermaid), had a total cost of $40,000, bringing the event’s total investment close to $400,000. The Ferrari, painted in a vibrant cherry red color, was presented as the main highlight of the party, which featured themed decorations and a production worthy of Hollywood.
A Controversial Decision
Before the event, DDG joked with his YouTube followers about buying a Lamborghini for his son. On the day of the party, when revealing the Ferrari, he humorously remarked, “Is this for me or for Halo?”. The comment acknowledged the obvious: the supercar won’t be used by the birthday boy for at least 15 years.
The extravagance divided opinions on social media. While some praised the rapper’s generosity and his desire to give the best to his son, others criticized the gesture as an example of unnecessary ostentation. However, DDG seemed unfazed. In response to the criticism, he tweeted: “Black people are mad because their kids play with Hot Wheels and mine is playing with Ferraris. Just work harder, y’all.”
Family Focus
Even after DDG and Halle Bailey’s separation in October 2024, the two showed maturity by coming together to celebrate Halo’s birthday. The party highlighted their commitment to co-parenting, despite their differences.
Interestingly, while the Ferrari stole the spotlight among the adults, little Halo seemed more fascinated by the colors and decorations of the Cocomelon theme than the supercar.
A Gesture Reflecting Celebrity Culture
DDG’s decision to gift his son a Ferrari is an example of the extravagant lifestyle of celebrities and how social media amplifies these actions. The gesture also raises questions about values, parenting, and the impact of such luxurious gifts on young children.
With an estimated fortune of $8 million, primarily built through his YouTube channel and music career, DDG appears determined to make Halo a symbol of his success. And it seems he will continue to ignore the criticism while sharing his luxurious life with the public.
