"I am his mother and protector and saddened that i wasn’t notified especially when i am out of town.”

A rep for DDG did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment on Wednesday.

Bailey and DDG split in early October.

"Dear friends and supporters, After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways," the rapper wrote in an Oct. 3 statement on his Instagram Stories. "The decision was not easy, but we believe it's the best path forward for both of us. I cherish the time we've spent together and the love we shared."

"Despite the changes in our relationship, our love for each other remains deep and true. We are still best friends and adore each other," DDG continued. He said that he and Bailey will "focus on our individual journeys and our roles as co-parents," as they "cherish the bond we've built and the beautiful moments we've shared."

During a Sunday, Oct. 6 episode of his No Ordinary Podcast, DDG talked more about the breakup and said he knew there was "a reason why she stayed with me" and a "reason why we had a child together."

During November, Cenat is streaming nonstop on Twitch, with cameos from several celebrities, including DDG.
