Wow man, that’s a crazy messed up situation your friend’s gotten himself into. Family drama like that can really screw things up. I feel for both of them, trying to make it work when everyone else is against it. Here’s what I would say to your friend:
First off, he’s gotta be super careful not to damage his relationship with his dad over this. Family always comes first in the end. Maybe talk to his dad one-on-one and try to get on the same page, just the two of them.
As for the ex and grandma stirring shit up, he just needs to not engage with them at all. Don’t reply to messages, don’t argue back. Let them talk but don’t get dragged down to their level.
He should focus on building something real with this girl when they’re alone together. Prove to her that their feelings matter more than all the outside noise. And be honest about how hard it is but that she's worth it to him.
If they’re really serious long term, they might have to consider keeping it private from the family drama queens for now. Sneak around but in a good fun way ha.
Either way man, tell your boy not to let others control his happiness. Show them all why he cares about this girl. If it’s real, they have a chance. But family has to stay good too. Tough spot for sure!

I am of the belief that the person in the relationship with the uppity family in this case the girl needs to go tell her family to KNOCK IT OFF!
I would never allow my family to interfere with my personal life. I am a grown ass adult. And they would be told immediately to put a sock in it.
At the same time if a woman I was seeing had family that was acting like this I would expect her to go check her family.
