Nearly a year after dropping her solo debut album, In Pieces, Chlöe is back with new music. Tonight (March 1), the R&B superstar has shared her new single “FYS” — which stands for “F*ck Your Status.”
On the song, Chlöe dips her toes into the realm of rhythmic, alternative R&B. Though she has many men vying for her attention, she stands on business letting them know that wealth or luxury won’t impress her, as she’s already attained it on her own.
“F*ck your status, it don’t matter / Money, cars and the diamonds / Don’t faze me, I been had it / F*ck your status / I just wanna love you, baby / What you wanna do?,” she sings on the song’s chorus.
It’s gearing up to be a big year for Chlöe. In an interview with Elle, Chlöe and her sister, Halle Bailey, revealed they are working on new music — both as solo acts, and together as a duo. Additionally, Chlöe is gearing up for her first ever solo Coachella performance, set to take place at this year’s festival in April.
“I’m excited,” said Chlöe. “Performing is my favorite thing to do and I’ll be performing my whole heart out. So I can’t wait.”
After taking some time off, it looks like Chlöe is coming back for another round in 2024, as she shared a pre-save link for her first single of the year, “F*ck Your Status.” She also shared a snippet of the song’s vocal intro, which resolves into a heavy bass instrumental just before the cut. It sounds like her future material will continue in the same vein as many of the songs from In Pieces, addressing themes of relationships and the emotional entanglements that complicate them.
The 25-year-old singer has yet to announce plans for a follow-up to In Pieces, but one seems likelier than the reunion with her sister Halle she teased in January. While fans have been clamoring for a new Chloe X Halle album since 2021, the sisters’ pursuit of their respective solo projects put those plans on hold. Then, just when it seemed as though they’d get the chance to follow through after Halle completed her obligations to film projects The Little Mermaid and The Color Purple, she got a baby for Christmas. Being a new mom is pretty time-consuming, so the assumption now is that Chlöe will continue with her solo career and we’ll just have to wait a little bit longer for that Chloe X Halle album.
One of Pandora’s new ambassadors, Chloe Bailey, is getting the love she deserves on social media for a recent Instagram post, which she captioned “whole lotta woman.” Moreover, it follows and features a recent performance with BJ The Chicago Kid, showing off her raw vocal chops and stylish look. Not only did fellow superstars like the Georgia native’s sister Halle Bailey, Muni Long, and Flo Milli sing their praises, but everyday fans expressed a lot of support and admiration. “u ate that performance ofc,” one wrote, whereas another shared, “Absolutely stunning. Not alot… THE WHOLE DAMN THANG.” Folks must pray for Internet clout like this…
Sure, it also came with its critics, but compared to what the R&B artist has been through before, this is a wonderful improvement. Whether it was due to her alleged dating life, performances, music, or life choices, it seems like everybody had something negative to say about her just a few months ago. Fortunately, that died down eventually -– as most social media fads tend to do -– and it doesn’t feel like a hate campaign anymore. Chloe Bailey is excited to stay afloat and grow even more, and we know that she can handle the heat.
Furthermore, this is great motivation to see because Chloe X Halle are coming with new music very soon, reports indicate. While this news claims that the In Pieces hitmaker herself confirmed this, we couldn’t find anything online that suggests this, although both teased new music without confirming whether it’s solo or a team-up. Either way, fans of good soul and immaculate vibes are probably very excited for this. Even though Chloe Bailey dropped recently, it’s always a possibility that she strikes again while the iron is hot.
Meanwhile, she also recently reflected on how she helped make her sister Halle’s pregnancy the “best-kept secret ever.” Of course, it didn’t exactly end up being that, but it was certainly an effort. Hopefully that new music comes sooner rather than later, as we’re always down for some more fantastic R&B. On that note, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Chloe Bailey.
Uproxx cover star Chlöe Bailey did a recent interview with People Magazine, where she discussed her sister Halle’s pregnancy and how they tried to hide it until she was ready to share her baby with the world. As Chlöe put it, it was the “best kept secret ever.”
“We just ignore it,” she shared. “I would tell her, like, take social media off your phone, you know, I keep all her other secrets. So this was just another one in the books.”
Chlöe herself is also “on cloud nine” about the fact that she’s now an aunt. Halle and her boyfriend, DDG, welcomed their son, Halo, which they revealed earlier this month through an Instagram post.
Both the sisters are still keeping busy. Chlöe performed at the Urban One Honors: Best In Black event. Halle is set to host a Masterclass that fans can livestream, which will be part of the festivities for Grammy Week. More information about that can be found here.
Chlöe also recently teased during a TikTok livestream that the two could be reuniting to put out some new music. Both sisters worked on their solo projects, with Chlöe dropping In Pieces, and Halle appearing as the lead in the live-action Little Mermaid.
Check out Halle Bailey and DDG’s announcement of Halo’s birth below.
Now that Halle Bailey has finally revealed the birth of her and DDG’s baby Halo, the floodgates of pregnancy content have opened. After months of Halle staying off social media to protect her mental health, she’s apparently given her sister Chloe the green light to start sharing the videos and photos the two inevitably shot during the pregnancy. Chloe’s first post shows that the baby weight didn’t slow the younger Bailey down one bit as the sisters teamed up to twerk it out to Drake’s For All The Dogs ratchet favorite, “Rich Baby Daddy” featuring Sexyy Red and SZA.
The rumors of Halle’s pregnancy swirled throughout the last quarter of 2023 as the Color Purple star mostly stayed out of the press cycle for the film despite playing a major role in it and being featured heavily in the trailers. Any appearances she did make in public were in very baggy clothing to hide the baby bump. However, the sisters — and DDG — went to extreme lengths to downplay the rumors, with Chloe appearing to address them by telling fans to “keep my sister’s name out your mouth” and DDG trolling fans with a baby doll on a livestream.
Now that the baby has arrived, though, he already has over 50,000 followers on Instagram, despite only having one photo. But in terms of the Bailey fam social media, it seems we’re mostly just happy to see more Chloe X Halle content — and the potential for a follow-up to Ungodly Hour.

On Wednesday night, December 27, CBS aired The 46th Kennedy Center Honors, taped on December 3 in Washington, DC. The nearly two-hour television special began with Dionne Warwick, one of five 2023 honorees alongside Barry Gibb, Billy Crystal, Queen Latifah, and Renée Fleming.
Following a biographical video montage narrated by Jennifer Hudson and Cynthia Erivo’s performance of “Alfie,” Ego Nwodim introduced Chloe Bailey (also known as Chlöe), who dazzled Warwick with a stirring rendition of “Walk On By,” beginning at the 20:52 mark. Warwick bobbed her head approvingly. At the end, Chlöe looked up toward where Warwick sat and said, “I love you. Thank you.” She blew a kiss to Warwick, who smiled warmly, which must have felt almost as satisfying as receiving a tweet from Warwick. Almost. Warwick’s jam-packed tribute was punctuated by Gladys Knight singing “I Say A Little Prayer.”
The Kennedy Center posted an Instagram video of Warwick reflecting on the evening, in which she says, in part, “Oh, it was wonderful. You know, first of all, artists that I truly believe in and I know. I’m appreciative that they’ve taken the time to discover me and find out what I’m really all about.”
As per Billboard, “Walk On By” earned Warwick her first of 14 Grammy nominations (Best Rhythm & Blues Recording in 1965.) The 1964 classic was inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame in 1998, decades after peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In late March, Chloe Bailey, better known as Chlöe, delivered her debut solo album, In Pieces, which made Uproxx’s “Best R&B Albums Of 2023” list. In late September, Tyga and YG dropped their joint project, Hit Me When U Leave The Klub. Those two releases do not seem correlated in any way, and they would never be mentioned in the same vicinity if Chlöe, Uproxx’s August 2022 cover star, and Tyga weren’t just spotted leaving the same club in West Hollywood, California last night, December 26.
Are Chloe Bailey And Tyga Dating?
According to TMZ, “The two music stars were spotted leaving the Bird Streets Club in WeHo Tuesday night for a sweet meetup … Tyg’s carrying 2 bags of candy as he headed to his car. Chloe was all smiles — likely anticipating the treats ahead — as she slid into the front passenger seat of T-Raww’s whip before they jetted off into the moonlight.”
It goes without saying: Chlöe and Tyga (allegedly, seemingly, reportedly) casually hanging out once does not mean they are dating. But, for the sake of answering the proposed question, this feels like a solid “well, maybe, I guess.”
Meanwhile, around the release of In Pieces, rumors swirled around a possible romance between Chlöe and Quavo, her co-star in the Peacock musical comedy Praise This. She was asked about it by Latto and Cosmopolitan, and while she was playfully ambiguous about it with Latto, she put all speculation to bed with Cosmopolitan, as excerpted below.
“Sadly, I have not been seeing anybody for almost a year now. Your girl has just been working on herself, and I wish I was lying. I tell myself, God, I know what you’re doing. You’re sifting out the BS, so I can find good lovin’. When you don’t know your worth and when you haven’t mastered the art of loving yourself, you question why others would love you. I think that’s why I’m single right now, so I can grasp that concept a little more, because I can’t expect someone to love me wholeheartedly when I’m not there yet within myself.”
Tyga seems to always be finding himself with a new love interest every few months or so. Interestingly, the California rapper hitmaker and pop/punk singer Avril Lavigne were a thing back in the first quarter of the year. However, that did not last too long. It only went on for about four months and came to an end in July. Since then, Tyga has been dealing with some legal issues with his former partner, Blac Chyna.
However, the “Rack City” rapper is back on the horse. TMZ Hip-Hop was one of the first to report that he and Chloe Bailey were out on the town last night on December 26. They were seen in West Hollywood at a club. Bailey was smiling ear to ear as she got into Tyga’s car.
Besides this, there really has not been much information on how these two got together. Bailey was dressed in an all-black outfit. A revealing black long-sleeve shirt with leather pants. Tyga similarly had leather pants and a jacket. However, he added a white t-shirt and a black and red knit beanie hat. More is sure to come down the pipeline in the next couple of days and we will keep you in the loop.
What are your initial thoughts on the new photos surfacing of Tyga and Chloe Bailey? Do you think it was just the first time hanging out together? Or do you think they have been laying low for a few weeks? Can you see this couple lasting a while, why or why not? How do you think these two are connected? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news around Tyga and Chloe Bailey. Finally, stick with us for everything else going on around the pop culture world.
When it comes to her sense of style, Chloe Bailey seems to prefer outfits that make her feel grown and sexy. Some who have been following her from a young age take issue with this transition in her wardrobe, but real fans are here for every era we’ve seen from the Atlanta-born artist so far. We know that both Bailey sisters love their locs – Halle even incorporated hers into her role as The Little Mermaid earlier this year – but that doesn’t always afford them the ability to try out other styles. Thankfully, they’ve got a stylist on deck who’s a pro at temporarily hiding their famous inches so they can switch things up for a night or two.
For her latest public appearance, Chloe was asked to sing at the Kennedy Center in celebration of the iconic Dionne Warwick. Perfectly on theme as always, the “Pray It Away” hitmaker somehow hid her long locs under a short black wig that beautifully pays homage to timeless beauties of the past. It’s a far cry from how we usually see Bailey, but still, the internet can’t help but commend her hairdresser for being able to pull off such a feat.
We obviously adore her hair, but the Swarm starlet’s pink ball gown is worth mentioning too. The blush colour makes her tan skin glow, and the simple silver accessories only add more understated glamour. “Timeless . What an honour it was to sing and celebrate Dionne Warwick at the Kennedy Center in front of the President and many of my inspirations,” Bailey wrote on Instagram while commerating the special moment. “Unforgettable night. Can’t wait for you all to see .”
While Chloe Bailey continues to impress us with one show-stopping performance after another, her little sister, Halle, continues to deal with constant pregnancy speculation. By now, it’s obvious that the 23-year-old doesn’t want to talk about whether she’s with child or not, despite the internet being very ready for that conversation. Read more about that at the link below, and let us know if you think Chloe managed to pull off her short black hair or not in the comments.
