Meanwhile…

Halle’s boyfriend, DDG, is making headlines after slamming Aladdin star Mena Massoud. Apparntly, the actor made critical remarks about The Little Mermaid that DDG didn’t like, so he reacted on Twitter.

“I never watched Aladdin, and I never will. Tell bro when I see ‘em it’s up!,” DDG tweeted.

DDG appears to be responding to comments made by Mena Massoud regarding the box office predictions for The Little Mermaid.

The Aladdin star shared his thoughts on whether Halle’s film would surpass the $1 billion mark at the box office. Early projections indicated that the film was expected to slightly outperform Aladdin during its first week of sales.

In a tweet, Massoud mentioned that the success of Aladdin was partly due to audiences watching it multiple times, which contributed to it reaching the billion-dollar mark upon release. He speculated that The Little Mermaid may not reach that milestone but expressed confidence that it would still receive a sequel.

Following the tweet, Massoud deactivated his Twitter account due to negative responses from other users. One user remarked on his unemployment despite the success of “Aladdin,” suggesting that he had other concerns to focus on.

Based on predictions, it is anticipated that The Little Mermaid will open with $115 million, which is $3 million more than the opening weekend of Aladdin at $112 million. Aladdin went on to earn $1 billion at the international box office, making it the third highest-grossing live-action Disney remake, trailing behind Beauty and the Beast in 2017 and The Lion King in 2019.
