This is not the first time Chloe Bailey has made headlines this year. On November 27, 2024, following the release of Kendrick Lamar's album GNX, Bailey took to Instagram Live to express her admiration for the album and confess her past feelings for Lamar.
She shared that she had been listening to GNX for several days and revealed that she once went through a "Kendrick Lamar phase," with her sister Halle Bailey and brother Branson Bailey serving as witnesses to this phase in her life.
"Now, I don't know if you all know this. Ask Halle [Bailey]. Branson [Bailey]. About eight years ago, I had a whole Kendrick phase. Like, I've had phases, right? ... I had a Kendrick Lamar phase, and I was convinced I was going to be with him. I loved him when I was younger," Bailey said.
As reported by All Hip Hop, Bailey faced online trolling from some netizens who criticized her for showing interest in a married man. In response, on November 29, 2024, she addressed the situation in a live stream, clarifying that she was not "shooting her shot" but simply reflecting on a past phase in her life.
