    Halle Bailey has reportedly been granted temporary sole physical and legal custody of her son

    The 25-year-old singer and actress - who had also been granted a temporary restraining order against her ex DDG (real name Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.) - will have their 16-month-old son in her care until a June 4 court hearing after accusing the rapper of domestic abuse


    According to court documents obtained by Page Six, Bailey claimed she filed for sole custody without notifying DDG because she was "afraid that the violence would reoccur" and that "the other party would take the children out of the area".

    It comes after the 'Little Mermaid' star was also granted a temporary retraining order.

    Under the temps of the protection order, DDG must stay at least 100 yards away from Bailey and their son, which includes her home and vehicle.

    The YouTube and Twitch star is also banned from personally contacting her, while he isn't allowed any visitation with Halo until "further order of the court".

    Just over six months after they announced their split, PEOPLE learned via legal documents that Bailey has accused him of various kinds of abuse.

    In documents obtained by the outlet, she alleged: "I realize that there is no placating Darryl. I cannot allow this abuse any longer.

    "Whenever he wishes to cause upset, he starts badmouthing me to his several millions of fans.

    "He claims I am withholding our son and that I am with other men. As a result, I then receive threats and hate on social media. He seems to try to set up drama for his fans.

    "He goes 'live' ranting about me and alleges that I am keeping Halo from him. This is false. I have requested a set schedule, which he refuses."

    The 'Color Purple' star included photographic evidence with her request, which included pictures of her bearing a chipped front tooth and a large bruise on her bicep.
