Now, Chlöe…
It’s been a rough week for the Bailey sisters who continue to trend for questionable decisions like Chlöe’s upcoming collaboration with Chris Brown off her debut album In Pieces.
Fans wasted no time expressing their disappointment in the ‘Have Mercy’ singer who seemingly failed to read the room before announcing the risky collab stirring up backlash across social media.
that man is an abuser, a colorist, bullied a woman after a suicide attempt, jumped a gay man and used homophobic slurs….. what is the appeal. WHAT.

Bailey, whose struggled to make a major splash during her anticipated solo era, promoted the single titled ‘How Does It Feel’ across her socials without addressing the backlash.
In the single’s promo photo, she can be seen embracing Chris Brown in what appears to be a bedroom with a romantic vibe.
Naturally, some Twitter users attempted to call foul on the backlash by citing examples of other popular singers like Ella Mai and H.E.R. who recently worked with Brown.

But former 3LW star Kiely Williams wasn’t having it and blasted the collab in a now-viral tweet.
“Let him come out with his own record—so genius, so captivating that it makes us all forget HE BEATS WOMEN,” wrote the former 3LW member in a tweet quoting Chlöe’s announcement of the single.
“He can’t so he wont. So what does he do? He slowly creeps back into the mainstream by getting small nods for features on Black women’s merit. Black women who are more talented, more worthy, but give him the okay. I am swatting the f**king air [right now]. Garbage [vomiting emojis].

As expected, Chris Brown clapped back, making the situation even worse without addressing legitimate concerns from fans.
‘I’m getting kinda tired of ya broken PROMITHES PROMITHES… THOP IT,’ he fired back, mocking her trademark lisp.
Oh, but he wasn’t done, and stooped even lower by commenting tomato emojis, ‘wack as f***,’ ‘choo choo,’ and ‘miss amtrack.’
And for the finale, he had this to say:
‘If yall still hate me for a mistake I made as a 17 year old please kiss my whole entire a**! I’m f****** 33! I’m so tired of yall running with this narrative.. you weird a** n***** are the same ones that tune in every week to see Blueface and Chrisean beat the f*** out each other in front the world… But that’s OK? It’s entertainment? All yall can suck my d*** disrespectfully’
At this point, we’re not expecting Chlöe to enter the chat but we’ll keep you in the loop if she does.
