In a candid new interview, singer and actress Chloe Bailey has finally broken her silence regarding the ongoing rumors about her alleged relationship with Nigerian music superstar Burna Boy. Addressing a range of personal questions during a press tour for her upcoming album, Chloe made it clear that the intense scrutiny surrounding her private life has become too much to bear.
The controversy began after the two were spotted together at various events, leading to speculation of a romantic relationship. However, Chloe has remained tight-lipped, focusing instead on her music career and her artistry.
In the interview, which took place on a popular radio show, Chloe shared her thoughts on the constant public intrusion into her personal affairs. “People need to understand that just because you see two people together, it doesn’t mean there’s a romantic connection,” she explained. “And what’s even more hurtful is when the narrative becomes a form of bullying. It’s one thing to speculate, but it’s another to attack and try to create drama where there is none.”
Chloe added that the pressure and persistent questioning about her relationship with Burna Boy had taken a toll on her mental health. “It’s hard enough trying to find peace in this industry, and then to have people constantly trying to define your life based on assumptions? It’s exhausting,” she said, visibly emotional.
The 25-year-old artist went on to describe how she and Burna Boy are simply friends and that the speculation has unfairly impacted both of their reputations. “He’s an amazing artist, and I respect him immensely, but we are not dating. The narrative that’s been created around us is not only inaccurate but harmful to both of us,” Chloe stated.
Fans and followers have been divided over the situation, with some coming to Chloe’s defense, calling out the public’s invasive behavior, while others continue to support the notion of a potential romance between the two.
Burna Boy has yet to make a statement on the matter, though his social media posts hint at his own frustration with the gossip surrounding his name.
As for Chloe, she has made it clear that her focus remains on her career and creating music that speaks to her experiences. “At the end of the day, I want people to support me for my talent, not for the drama they try to create around my personal life,” she said.
Chloe’s debut solo album, In My Own Lane, is set for release next month, and she is determined to let her art speak for itself in the face of relentless tabloid attention.
