Everything We Know About Chloe Bailey’s ‘Praise This’

by

The trailer for Praise This starring Chloe Bailey from the girl group Chloe X Halle just dropped. The teaser comes just in time to entice our palates for a feel-good Easter holiday movie. Like her group-mate Hailey, Chloe seems interested in diversifying her talents with a leading movie role. The ‘Do It’ singer is no stranger to acting. She stars in the popular series Grown-ish. Here are all the details we picked up from the trailer. You will also get to discover interesting facts about the movie you might never have known.

April 7th Is The Premier Date

The movie will premier exclusively on Universal Studio’s Peacock on April 7th. Peacock is one of the many streaming services available in the United States. It has also recently expanded to the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Australia, Switzerland, and Italy. There has been no official communication on whether Praise This will have limited run in theaters for non-Peacock subscribers.

Peacock is, however,  keen to make sure that movie lovers make the film a part of their to-do list in Easter holiday festivities. Praise This is a family movie based on Christian praise music. But, from the trailer, it seems like a fun afternoon movie to enjoy with family or by yourself whether Christian or otherwise. Even Quavo from the rap group Migos seems to have brought his acting chops to the movie.

Quavo Joins Fellow Musician Chloe In ‘Praise This’

The Grammy winning rapper has had a difficult past several months to say the least. First, his super rap group, the Migos split, alienating Offset to pursue a solo career. His other group-mate, Takeoff, who he had decided to form a rap duo with him under the moniker ‘Unc & Phew’ was tragically shot and killed during an altercation in Houston. Takeoff was Quavo’s actual nephew.

Then, there was the alleged confrontation back stage at the Grammys. Quavo and Offset had to be separated before it escalated to a brawl – again, allegedly. Insiders say that the confrontation stemmed from the Grammy organizers wanting Offset to be part of the Takeoff tribute. But, Quavo was having none of it. The Migos head honcho has released two songs paying tribute to Takeoff.  The records have given us a glimpse of the pain that the rapper is going through.

So, it is refreshing to see him taking time off from music and lending his acting talents to this feel-good movie. He seemingly will be playing a music producer who will help push the talent of Chloe’s character to new heights.

Druski To Play A Pivotal Role In ‘Praise This’

Druski’s star continues to rise and a glimpse of him from the trailer shows that he is going to play a significant part in the movie. He can finally add ‘actor’ to his resume. The Maryland born entertainer is undoubtedly multi-talented. Druski can also comfortably share a stage with entertainment giants like Drake, J. Cole, and Snoop Dogg. This role could just be the perfect break the 28-year old needs to be more than just an internet sensation.

Great Talent Is Behind The Camera on ‘Praise This’

Tina has an impressive resume as a writer and director. She started her career writing screenplays to movies like the cult-classic, ATL, and Drumline. She also co-wrote and directed the movie Little and Peeples. Gordon is therefore no stranger to making good movies. Her talents and the incredible youthful leading cast can be a recipe for a classic. Brandon Brousard writes the screenplay for Praise This. He wrote the Perfect Match movie and produced #RealityHigh.

James Lopez takes the producer rank in Praise this. He has proved to be a great comedy producer.  He has overseen movies like Kevin Hart’s Night School, Beast, Girls Trip, and What Women Want. Lopez worked with Tina Gordon on the later, so, we should be expecting the same energy and chemistry.

‘Praise This’ Plot

Praise This is a faith-based movie that sees Sam (Chloe’s character) living in California, and in pursuit of a music career. She is determined and driven to achieve her dream. However, her father (Philip Fornah) is concerned. Sam could get in trouble because of the potentially dangerous people she is hanging with. Reluctantly, she is made to move from Los Angeles to Atlanta to by her father.  We are then quickly introduced to her happy-go-lucky cousin Jess played by Anjelika Washington.

Jess introduces Sam to her singing group that was clearly struggling trying to prepare for a national singing competition. Sam then discovers that she can actually live her musical aspirations through the group. However, Things do not go as planned for the aspiring musician. Praise this is the story of two young women and their journey of helping their team achieve success at the national competition.

Family And Religion Inspired ‘Praise This’

Director Tina Gordon said that she drew inspiration from her own family’s balance of the late-night music scene and church. Speaking to Pop Sugar, she said “My uncles were all musicians in the church. They would play in clubs on Saturday night, and my grandmother would make them have to get up and play in her church on Sunday morning.” She continued to say that she wanted the film to portray a blend of these worlds.

She also commented that she did not want the film to be too serious just because it is a faith-based film. “I think the comedy is surprising for a faith-based movie. We don’t take ourselves so seriously,” Gordon says.

“It’s a nice intersection of funny and faith, sinners and saints, the club and church. It’s a big tent and everybody is welcome and I think that’s the surprising part about it. It’s a movie of faith that’s not preachy.”

Pop Sugar also interviewed Chloe about the movie and she said that she appreciated the film for bringing her love for music, acting and God together.

Other ‘Praise This’ Cast Members

Anjelika Washington plays Sam’s cousin, Jess. Hip Hop star Quavo plays musician Ty, and Tristan Mack Wilds plays Pastor “PG” Goodman. Other cast members include; Kiara Iman Heffner, Ilario Grant, Cocoa Brown, Vanessa Fraction Loren Lott, and Crystal Hayslett. Gospel stars Jekalyn Carr and Koryn Hawthorne also make the cast.

Chloe Bailey Reflects On Sex Scene With Damson Idris, Says She Was Nervous Due To Lack Of Experience

by

Physical intimacy is one of the most vulnerable things two humans can share. Having to perform it (or at least fake it) in front of a camera crew and Hollywood executives adds all the more pressure. Recently, Chloe Bailey experienced this for the first time on the set of Donald Glover’s Swarm series. Thankfully, she had a great partner – British actor Damson Idris – to help her through the terrifying scene.

Ahead of the series premiere, the R&B artist and other members of the cast spoke with Deadline. “When I first read the script I was like, ‘Oh, this is insane,’” Bailey recalled. “‘This is incredible.’ I cried, and then I realized, ‘You gotta do that sex scene girl.’” She’s relatively open and liberal with her body (as her regular Instagram thirst traps can attest). Still, her lack of past sexual partners apparently made filming all the more nerve-wracking.

Chlöe Dishes on Her Steamy Sex Scene

“I was very scared because I haven’t had that many partners,” the “Treat Me” songstress told Deadline. “I’m not like that, that sexual and open. Damson made it very comfortable, you know, there were limited people on set,” she added. According to Bailey, she and Idris even shared a few laughs between takes. They also kept a bouncy ball between their bodies. “We were making a joke out of it,” she said, noting that her co-stars’ good vibes wiped away her nervousness.

“I have to give a lot of kudos to him as a man for making me as a woman feel comfortable literally being raw and naked,” the 24-year-old praised Lori Harvey’s boyfriend. Other famous faces set to appear on screen include Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris, as Hailey, and Dominique Fishback in the leading role of Dre. The trailer for Swarm arrived last month, and already, audiences can’t wait to see what Glover’s next project will bring.

Donald Glover’s Swarm

The highly anticipated series officially premiered at SXSW this past Friday (March 10), and will arrive on Amazon Prime Video next week, on March 17. It tells the story of, “a young woman whose obsession with a pop star takes a dark turn.” Check out the teaser above. Afterward, let us know if you’ll be tuning in to catch Chloe Bailey’s performance in the comments.

Chlöe Reflects On The Pitfalls Of Social Media Fame

by

While receiving vast recognition from a global audience may seem like the ultimate trophy of success, becoming famous isn’t all rainbows and butterflies. In fact, reaching high tiers of fame is accompanied by its own troubles. Five-time Grammy award-winner Chlöe has been garnering high anticipation for her upcoming projects. This month alone, she’ll be dropping her debut solo album In Pieces as well as revealing her starring role in Swarm.

Swarm, which is due to premiere on March 17th, is another television effort created by Donald Glover alongside Janine Nabers. The show follows an obsessive fan girl whose seemingly innocent fascination with a pop star becomes twisted and dark. The horror-thriller reportedly gained inspiration from Beyoncé’s Beyhive. Chlöe, who initially was under the iconic singer’s apprenticeship while in Chlöe X Halle, has been building up her independent career in recent years. In reflection on the upcoming series, the 24-year-old sat down with Pop Crave to dive deep into experiencing fame.

Chlöe Opens Up About Social Media Hate

One of the main topics discussed throughout the web interview was social media fame, which Chlöe opened up honestly about. Initially, she describes what she’s thankful for, telling the outlet “you know, for me and how I practice being healthy in terms of the social media world, sometimes I have to step away from it. It’s such a huge blessing.” She reflects, “because of it, there’s people who know about me, I can connect with my fans online, and that’s how people discovered my sister and I from YouTube. I know I would not be here and be able to do what I love, make money off of it, and live off of it without social media, right?”

But, Chlöe isn’t shy of noting problems with growing a large online following. “Now also, with anything good comes bad,” she says, “people are completely entitled to have any opinions about anything, and I have to come to terms that I can’t please everybody.” The Atlanta native further describes, “in everyday life, I just want everyone to feel comfortable, almost to the point where I’ll sacrifice my comfortability. But I think the past year and a half, I’m like, ‘You know what? I know God’s proud of me, I’m proud of me, and I’m just happy people are talking.’” For more news on hip-hop and pop culture, be sure to check out HNHH.

Chlöe Dissected The Double-Edged Sword Of Being Famous On Social Media While Promoting ‘Swarm’

by

Chlöe is set to star alongside Dominique Fishback in Swarm, an Amazon Prime Video series from Donald Glover and Janine Nabers. The official premise is, “a young woman whose obsession with a pop star takes a dark turn,” reportedly inspired by Beyoncé’s Beyhive. Chlöe has firsthand experience with Beyoncé’s power, but Uproxx’s August cover star has also grown her own fervent fan base.

Chlöe sat down with Pop Crave to dissect Swarm — specifically, what she hopes viewers garner “about healthy social media use.”

“You know, for me and how I practice being healthy in terms of the social media world, sometimes I have to step away from it,” she said. “It’s such a huge blessing. Because of it, there’s people who know about me, I can connect with my fans online, and that’s how people discovered my sister and I from YouTube. I know I would not be here and be able to do what I love, make money off of it, and live off of it without social media, right?”

She continued, “Now also, with anything good comes bad. People are completely entitled to have any opinions about anything, and I have to come to terms that I can’t please everybody. In everyday life, I just want everyone to feel comfortable, almost to the point where I’ll sacrifice my comfortability. But I think the past year and a half, I’m like, ‘You know what? I know God’s proud of me, I’m proud of me, and I’m just happy people are talking!’”

Chlöe is receiving an influx of feedback ahead of her debut solo album, In Pieces, due out March 31, and its supporting tour. (Many fans were upset that she chose to have Chris Brown feature on “How Does It Feel,” for example.)

Watch the interview above and find the the trailer for Swarm, premiering March 17, below.

In Pieces is out 3/31 via Parkwood/Columbia. Find more information here.

More Things To Learn About Chloe Bailey

by

It’s safe to say that when it comes to the young artists in the game, Chloe Bailey takes the cake!  Whether she’s killing the Gram with stimulating posts or making music that makes you move, Chloe is shaping to be a star we didn’t know we needed.  After all, she is learning from Beyonce, so we shouldn’t expect anything less.  We have watched Chloe as well as her younger sister, Halle, grow up right in front of us.  You may think you know all about the Mableton artist, but there’s more to find out.

Here’s a few things you may not know about Chloe Bailey:

Parkwood Starts With Chloe

Parkwood Entertainment is home to Beyonce, Chloe x Halle, Jay-Z and Beyonce as The Carters, and now just Chloe herself.  The “CUFF IT” singer founded the Columbia Records-backed label in 2010.  The entertainment company is involved in not only music, but film, television, and artist management as well.  Besides the Beyonce herself, the “Have Mercy” artist is going to be the first solo artist to have a full-length project released under Parkwood.

Beyonce signed artists Ingrid Burley and Sophie Beem to her label in 2015 and 2016, respectively.  Beem signed a two-year artist development deal, therefore she is no longer with the label.  Burley remains with Parkwood, but has never dropped an album.  She released her EP, Trill Feels in 2016.  Beem also released an EP in 2016 as well titled, Sophie Beem EP.

Chloe x Halle have put out four albums under the label, but now it’s Chloe’s turn to take a chance solo.  She is set to release her debut solo studio album at the end of the month.  The 23-year-old artist named her debut, In Pieces, with the lead single being “Pray It Away”.  As of right now, the only feature we know of is Chris Brown as Bailey released the song and video to “How Does It Feel” last month.

Almost Won A Grammy Over Her Boss

We all know Beyonce is the queen of the Grammys.  Well, she is now after collecting a couple of trophies at this year’s ceremony.  There’s no doubt that Chloe will win a Grammy or two at some point in her career especially, with the mentor she has.  The Houston legend can teach her a few things about collecting gold Gramaphones.

Chloe almost won her first Grammy back in 2021 for Best R&B song.  Along with her sister Halle, the duo’s hit song, “Do It”, was nominated that year.  Unfortunately, Chloe x Halle had some fierce competition, including their boss, Queen Bey.  The “Crazy In Love” singer’s song, “Black Parade”, was nominated as well.  “Black Parade” was a part of the soundtrack Beyonce created for the new version of Disney’s The Lion King.  In the end, both songs were beat out by Robert Glasper’s “Better Than I Imagine” featuring H.E.R. and Meshell Ndegeoceloo.

But, on a brighter note, for an artist to be nominated for a Grammy in the same category and in the same year as their label’s founder is a historic feat.

Inspired by Mentor’s Foe

Of course, Beyonce is her inspiration, but Chloe has been influenced by Kelis as she embarks on her career.  The “Pray It Away” singer has paid respects to the “Milkshake” artist in the past.  Last year, in an “#AskChloe” segment on Twitter, fans took the time to ask Chloe all kinds of questions.  One fan wanted to know who influences her, to which Chloe named Donna Summer, Imogen Heap, and Kelis.  She mentioned Kanye as an influence as well.  Also, last year on an Instagram Live session, Chloe further spoke on Kelis’s impact on her.

“Every time I put on Kelis, I feel like the baddest b****”

Kelis even inspired a few lyrics on her debut single, “Have Mercy”.  Bailey also credits Kelis for being confident in her body, prompting her to feel the same.  Chloe’s appreciation for the Tasty artist is respectful, but what does Beyonce think of that?

After all, Kelis did have her alter the song, “Energy”, from her album, Renaissance.  Before the album was released, Kelis took to Instagram to reveal that part of her hit song, “Milkshake” was being used without her approval.  Beyonce uses a small part of Kelis’s song at the end of “Energy”, to which Kelis calls it theft.  The “Halo” singer had no issues taking out that part of the song and has not made any statements regarding the incident since.

It’s funny how the world works at times.  Beyonce’s protégé, Chloe, is inspired by Nas’s ex-wife, Kelis, who recently had issues with Queen Bey, who is married to Jay-Z, and we all know the history between Nas and Jay-Z.  Somehow some way, the Queens and Brooklyn rapper are yet again tied to each other.

Chloe Does It All

As if we haven’t already known, but Chloe is talented.  She can sing, dance, act, you name it!  But she also does behind the scenes work that you may not know.  Chloe also writes for other artists, produces, and even designs album covers.

She is credited for writing on Willow Smith’s album, The 1st and contributed vocals to The Game’s Drillmatic: Heart vs. Mind album.  Bailey is also experienced in producing as well.  She has received producer credit on her own songs such as “Feeling Good” and “Have Mercy”, but also produced on the soundtrack to Disney’s A Wrinkle in Time.  Last year, the 23-year-old even had her hand in design, as she was involved with designing the album cover for Elliot Murphy’s Wonder.

What can’t this woman do? 

Let us know if you are excited for Chloe’s debut album, In Pieces, in the comments.

Chlöe Shares The Trailer For Her Hilarious-Looking Peacock Music Comedy, ‘Praise This’

by

While plenty of attention has been rightly heaped upon Halle Bailey for her role in the upcoming Little Mermaid remake lately, her sister Chlöe is also building her filmography — albeit, via some lower-profile releases. One of those releases is Praise This, a musical comedy coming to Peacock in April. Chlöe just shared the first trailer for the film on social media, and it looks like the perfect vehicle to show off her acting and singing chops at the same time.

According to Deadline, its studio, Universal Pictures, is apparently hoping for Pitch Perfect-esque franchise potential, and judging from the trailer, it certainly appears that the acapella comedy’s DNA is part of the genetic makeup of Praise This, along with a dash of Chlöe’s mentor Beyoncé’s own gospel-based musical comedy, Fighting Temptation.

Per Collider, Bailey will portray Sam, an aspiring singer who gets shipped off to Atlanta to live with her cousin Jess, played by Anjelika Washington. There, she joins Jess’s praise team as they prepare for a singing competition. The cast also includes comedian Druski and The Wire alum Tristan “Mack” Wilds. There’s also a cameo appearance by Quavo.

Praise This is coming to Peacock on April 7, 2023. You can watch the trailer above.

Here’s Everything We Know About ‘Swarm’

by

Swarm is a new horror series starring Dominique Fishback.  The co-executive producers are Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino and creator of HBO’s Watchmen, Janine Nabers.  The series is coming to Prime Video this month on March 17th.  It also stars Chloe Bailey and Snowfall star, Damson Idris.

Fishback plays a fan that obsesses over a famous pop star and it consumes her life.  In the trailer, it’s clear the pop star’s character is influenced by Beyonce.  The “BeyHive” is one of the biggest fandoms ever.  The series will first premiere at the SXSW festival on March 10th.  Nabers calls it “a sister to Atlanta” while Glover says it’s “a post-truth The Piano Teacher mixed with The King of Comedy”.

Here’s everything we know so far about Donald Glover’s new series.

Dominique Fishback is Swarm‘s Star

After being told she wasn’t cut out to be an actress and denied from acting school, Dominique Fishback sure has done well for herself.  She did not let those obstacles deter her as she aspired to be on the big screen.  Hailing from Brooklyn, Fishback went to public schools in her neighborhood, but also took free acting classes for kids in New York.  Ultimately, she was able to participate in her theater course where she learned more about acting and writing her own plays.

Fishback attended Pace University in New York and graduated with a degree in theater. With her degree and experience writing her own material in her theater course, Fishback decided to put on her own show, Subverted.  Subverted was a one woman show that was written and performed solely by Fishback.  After this, she took off!

Film & TV Roles Before Swarm

She landed roles in films such as Night Comes On, The Hate U Give, Project Power, and most notably, Judas and The Black Messiah.  Her role in Judas and The Black Messiah as Deborah Johnson, partner of Fred Hampton, led her to be nominated for a BAFTA award as well as an NAACP Image Award.  The New York native is also set to star in the third installment of the Transformers series.  Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is set to be released this year.

The 31-year-old has also appeared in different TV series throughout her career.  Fishback has appeared in episodes of The Affair, The Americans, Blue Bloods, Royal Pains, Show Me a Hero, and most notably, The Deuce.  Along with being the star of Swarm, she has a main role on the Apple+ TV series, The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey, starring alongside Samuel L. Jackson.  All of Fishback’s hard work has been paying off as she is very busy these days.

Atlanta, FX Ties

After watching Atlanta, we know what Donald Glover can bring to the table.  The four season series was certainly not your typical TV show.  Glover’s ability to combine many different topics including family, Hip Hop, love, fatherhood, and friendship separates him from the rest.

In the trailer, fans can see that this series is influenced by Beyoncé as Childish Gambino continues to stick to his music roots through his film work.  Swarm is bound to have hidden messages and meaningful moments just like Atlanta did.   Similar to the FX series, Glover continues to make opportunities for black artists to showcase their talents on a big stage.  Chloe Bailey and Damson Idris star alongside Fishback as her sister and boyfriend, respectively.

Idris and Glover have ties together before this series as both have major shows on the FX network.  Idris stars in the hit show, Snowfall.  

Beyoncé-Influenced

As I stated above, this series is influenced by Beyoncé.  The Atlanta director is not afraid to make fun of today’s society.  Throughout the four seasons of Atlanta, the “3005” rapper has created episodes surrounding topics such as blogging, social media, barbershops, and racism, and fashion.  Glover has even developed storylines based on people like Tyler Perry, Drake, and Disney’s Goofy character.  Now, it’s Beyoncé’s turn.

Beyonce’s fandom, the “BeyHive”, is a group everyone is familiar with.  The “BeyHive” has to be the most powerful movement on the Internet.  One wrong word about Beyonce and the hive will swarm.  Next thing you know, you have thousands of bee emojis on your page.

As I mentioned above, Glover has the ability to make fun of topics that are a staple in not only the black community, but society as well.  There’s no doubt that he’ll address the “BeyHive” in the most respectful, but awakening way.

An Obama is Involved

Wow, Malia Obama has surely grown up right before our very eyes.  Now, 24, the former President’s daughter is taking her talents to the big screen.  She is one of the writers on the series as this is her first writing opportunity since graduating from Harvard in 2021.  Co-Creator of Swarm, Janine Nabers, told People that Malia is professional and her age really is a plus factor.

“[The main characters of the show] are in their 20s and Malia is in her 20s, so it was really great having someone like her in the room.  She’s a very professional person, she’s an incredible writer and artist.”

Though this is her first job writing, the 24-year-old has been around television before.  She was an intern at the Weinstein Company and on Lena Dunham’s Girls.  She also worked as a production assistant on Halle Berry’s CBS series, Extant.  

It’s a Small World

Paris Jackson, daughter of Michael Jackson, will appear in the series.  Also, Macaulay Culkin’s younger brother, Rory Culkin, will have a part as well.  It’s a small world being that Michael Jackson and Macaulay Culkin were lifelong friends.  The Culkins and the Jacksons still manage to be linked together after all these years.

Let us know if you plan on watching Swarm when it premiers on Prime Video in the comments. 

Halle Bailey & DDG Relationship Timeline

by

Halle Bailey and DDG are one of the hottest couples out right now.  Though, we do not know how long they have really been each other’s lives, we can only speculate.  One of the first times we’ve seen the young couple together was on Christmas in 2021.  There was a photo circulating online of Halle at DDG’s home for the holidays.  The rumors started then, but didn’t really heat up until last year.

From attending awards shows to red carpet movie premieres, the past year DDG and Halle have been putting their relationship on display.  With rumors, old flames, and social media, it’s hard to have a drama-free relationship these days.  But, they both manage to keep things together.  Although we don’t know everything about their relationship, we have been keeping up with their love life.

Here’s a timeline of DDG and Halle Bailey’s romance.  

The Beginning

January 1, 2022:  At the top of the year, Halle Bailey and DDG were spotted at the Usher’s Las Vegas Residency.  That’s when the rumors started to circulate throughout social media.  Usher even posted a picture with the rumored couple on his Instagram story that night.

January 7, 2022: DDG posts photo on Instagram on vacation in a snowy area with snowboarding gear on.  Halle also posts a photo in a winter setting snuggling with her cat.  Fans speculated that they were on vacation together, possibly the Maldives, though neither party confirmed that to be true.

February 4, 2022: DDG takes Halle on an adventurous date.  The two went underwater swimming like mermaids while holding hands.  Halle said it was the most fun she has had in a while.

February 7, 2022: A month later, they were out together again in Los Angeles.  Paparazzi caught them leaving Nobu restaurant as Bailey tried to keep her head down, while getting in the car.

February 19, 2022: DDG defends Halle after a fan makes a negative comment about her on social media.  Bailey went on Instagram Live to show how she looks without any makeup on.  While watching live, DDG took to the comments to let her know how beautiful she is.  One user didn’t feel the same way and wrote, “She’s not cute to me”.

DDG had time to clap back and responded, “You too old for this.  Yo [p*****] barely work [a clown emoji] look in da mirror . U a 2 on yo BEST day.”

DDG & Halle Make It Official

March 27, 2022: DDG makes their relationship Instagram official by wishing Bailey a happy birthday with the caption “Happy Birthday to the beautifulest, the flyest, the sweetest [heart emoji] love you forever[sad face emoji, diamond emoji]”

April 18, 2022: Weeks after making their relationship officially pubic, the couple attend Coachella.  During a party, Halle & DDG are dancing, smiling, and taking selfies.

June 3, 2022: Halle posted a video on TikTok of her teaching DDG how to sing.  Looks like he might be doing a duet with his girlfriend in the near future.

June 26, 2022: The young couple made their debut on the red carpet at the BET Awards. 

Love Is In The Air

July 5, 2022: DDG sits down with DJ Akademiks for an interview where he has nothing but praises for his girlfriend.

”I honestly get inspired by my girl.  She honestly motivated me to be better and work harder and get to certain levels.  I look up to her in a sense ‘cause it’s, like, I never been around nobody that really…’cause i feel like I’m always the motivator, I’m the inspirer.”

August 6, 2022: A month after DDG made his sweet comments about his girl, she returned the favor.  In an Essence cover feature,  Halle says she is “for sure” in love with DDG as she has been a fan of his since 2015, when DDG was a Youtuber.

August 26, 2022:  DDG filmed the video for his song, “If I Want You”, and guess who was the star?  None other than his lover, Halle.  Not only is she the star of the video, but she also provides some background vocals.

Halle & DDG Out & About

September 23, 2022: DDG speaks with DJ Bootleg Kev, in which he discusses the racist backlash Halle has been getting from being casted as Ariel, in the new version of The Little Mermaid. 

”I didn’t know people was this racist-I didn’t know this was a thing.”  He continued to express his confusion with the racist remarks.  ”I thought this s*** was gone already, I thought that s*** was gone!  I thought Martin Luther King canceled that s*** out! This s*** is crazy, I was like ‘what the f*** is these n***** talking about?’”

Many fans did not like what he said, but the rapper assured fans he was only joking.

September 28, 2022: The young hot couple attended Paris Fashion Week together as they both wore comfortable casual outfits to Roger Viver’s show.

October 10, 2022: Date night again for the couple as they leave a restaurant in Los Angeles.  DDG’s birthday is on the 10th as well as Halle took to Instagram to appreciate her boo with a montage of phots.

October 22, 2022: They attended the 5th annual Wearable Art Gala.  The couple complimented each other’s outfits by wearing all-black.  DDG wore an all-black suit while Bailey donned a black jeweled gown.

December 13, 2022: The couple attend the premiere for Avatar 2: The Way of the Water.

Drama in 2023

This year, the young couple are facing some challenges.  Earlier this year, after posting a cryptic tweet, DDG had to clear up rumors that he and Halle are not breaking up.  Fans were confused about his tweet:  ”All these girls the same ain’t no wayy” with a crying face emoji.  He also removed all of his pictures of her on his Instagram and stopped following her.

Chloe and Halle’s older sister, Sky, was confused as well and wanted answers.  She took to Instagram Live to blast DDG, but soon recanted her statements as Halle assured her, she wasn’t having any issues with her man.  

DDG responded on Twitter stating that there was no cheating going on, reminding people that it’s just Twitter.

DDG x Halle vs Rubi Rose

Last month, after Halle posted a photo of herself to Instagram, fans noticed she was wearing the same shirt Rubi Rose wore when she was with DDG.  Rose and DDG dated briefly in 2020.  She saw this as well and took to Twitter to call the rapper a “weirdo”, but she didn’t stop there.

Rose exposed DDG for sliding in her DMs not too long ago.   Apparently, DDG hit Rose up first with intentions to link up.  Rose responds by writing, “U hitting me the day y’all argue is so u lol” and DDG replied, “lol u right, lemme go heal first”.  The two former flames went back and forth on Twitter with insults.

Bailey chimed in and stood by her man with the tweet, ”the devil is working lol please don’t feed into the lies, especially from a third party”.

Last week, the couple was at Milan Fashion Week with all smiles.  It’s safe to say they are doing well!

Let us know if you think Halle and DDG will last in the comments.

Chlöe Talks Debut Album And New Series “Swarm”

by

This year, Chloe “Chlöe” Bailey has showcased her incredible artistry and adept ability to go solo. While attending Billboard’s 2023 Women in Music event, the actress and singer teased her upcoming projects, including her debut studio album In Pieces and her starring role in Swarm. The 24-year-old chatted with Extra at the event, where she presented Latto with the Powerhouse Award.

Dressed in a dazzling beaded dress by Giambattista Valli, Chlöe shared the honor she felt for attending an evening dedicated to women who work both in front of the camera and behind the scenes in music. When reflecting on how the industry is primarily male-dominated, she said, “women can kick ass just as hard, but a lot of the time we’re not given the platform or put on a pedestal like men are.”

Chlöe Teases “Swarm,” Tells Viewers To “Buckle Up”

In January, Chlöe teased her upcoming album with the single “Pray It Away. ” The track, which was accompanied by a music video release, carries ethereal and emotional qualities, yet still remains to give off euphoric goosebumps. Chlöe also recently teamed up with Chris Brown for “How Does It Feel,” which dropped last Friday (February 24). “I love that song,” she told the outlet, “it’s definitely like, you know when you wanted to be with someone so bad and it didn’t work out because they took you for granted and it’s like how does it feel? Now that you’ve lost me.” The “Have Mercy” artist mentions how both songs are “just a little taste of what’s to come” with In Pieces.

Chlöe is also set to star in Donald Glover’s new television series, Swarm, which will release this month. The show, which also stars Dominique Fishback and Damson Idris, is a psychological thriller that follows a fangirl taking a dark turn. “I think what everybody expects it to be about it’s totally not,” Chlöe mentioned. She also notes, “and it’s all shot on film, it’s so stunning and beautifully written and people definitely have to buckle up their seatbelts because I don’t think they expect what it’s going to be about.” For more on the latest news in hip-hop and pop culture, be sure to check out HNHH.
