Award-winning singer and actress Chloe Bailey, widely celebrated for her sultry vocals on hits like “Have Mercy”, has finally spoken out about the swirling rumours linking her romantically to Afrobeats sensation Burna Boy.
This follows their much-discussed outings during the festive season in Lagos, Nigeria, which set social media abuzz.
The rumors gained traction after the pair were spotted together at a lively Detty December celebration on December 28, 2024, where they were seen dancing closely at an upscale Lagos nightclub. Fans quickly speculated that a budding romance might be in the works between the “Last Last” crooner and the multi-talented starlet.
In a recent interview on The Breakfast Club, Chloe was asked to clarify her relationship status. The host, Loren Lorosa, slyly broached the subject by asking whether Chloe would be bringing a date to the upcoming NAACP Awards. Chloe, known for her grace and poise, cheekily replied, “My god mom and my manager,” subtly sidestepping any mention of Burna Boy.
When further pressed on the possibility of a red-carpet debut with Burna Boy, Chloe quipped, “You’ll have to ask him,” sparking laughter in the studio. While avoiding any direct confirmation, Chloe did speak fondly of her recent time in Nigeria, she kept responding to questions about her relationship with Burna Boy with “I’m a grown woman.”
While Chloe refrained from confirming or denying the dating rumors, fans have been piecing together “clues” from the duo’s public appearances. Burna Boy, who has previously been linked to high-profile relationships, including a much-publicized romance with British rapper Stefflon Don, has yet to comment on the matter himself.
