Chloe Bailey just sparked backlash from her online fanbase after posting quite enthusiastically about attending a Kanye West concert.
The 27-year-old singer and actor posted a series of videos to her Instagram account live from West’s performance at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
She called one clip “legendary” and the other “so inspired.”
West’s current tour, which kicked off Wednesday, marks his first U.S. concerts since 2021.
During that time, West has repeatedly made anti-Semitic statements, described himself as a Nazi and released a song called Hail Hitler and sold T-shirts decorated with swastikas.
Online, many commenters criticized Bailey for openly supporting West as one user on
Another added: “What’s wrong with her? I tried to give her a second chance after working with Chris Brown but forget it.”
Furthermore, Chloe was also criticized in 2023 for collaborating on a single with Chris Brow, a controversial figure since 2009.
It was the time when he pleaded guilty to assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna and was given five years’ probation, community service and domestic violence counseling.
It is also pertinent to mention that Kanye West, who changed his name to Ye, is scheduled to perform multiple shows around the world in the coming months.
This would be before arriving in London to headline all three nights of the Wireless Festival in July, a program that has been heavily criticized by Jewish leaders and British politicians.
“It is deeply concerning that Kanye West has been booked to perform at Wireless, despite his previous anti-Semitic comments and celebration of Nazism,” Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Saturday.
“Anti-Semitism in any form is abhorrent and must be confronted clearly and firmly wherever it occurs. Everyone has a responsibility to ensure that Britain is a place where Jewish people feel safe and secure,” the British politician further emphasized why he believes Kanye West was not the right choice to headline the festival.
