Chloe and Halle Bailey have long been proud vegans and vocal about their journey away from eating meat. The pair went 10 years without eating any red meat until recently when a hotel accidentally served them the wrong burgers. In a new video clipped from an Instagram live, Chloe explains the situation through teary eyes. Some sympathetic fans in the comments elaborated on how it feels to break a long vegan or vegetarian streak. “I’m vegetarian and it’s definitely hard to tell the difference sometimes but you know the taste of real meat and that stomach ache ain’t no joke,” reads one of the top comments on the post.
In the background of the clip while Chloe tells the story, Halle can be heard occasionally laughing. Fans in the comments had a great time cracking jokes at her response. “Halle laughing is such a younger sister thing to do,” reads one of the top comments on the post. “Halle laughing cause she be sneaking meat,” speculates another fan. Despite the many jokes, some fans really were sympathetic. One comment that garnered over 27k likes understood the sister’s point of view. “If I put 10 years into something and someones mistake jeopardizes that, I’d be pissed,” it read.
Recently, Chloe Bailey took to Twitter to share a clip of her singing Gunna’s hit song “fukumean.” While many fans pointed out how much they love her voice, not everybody enjoyed the performance. DJ Akademiks targeted the clip of the song in a recent stream rant where he called it “trash.” During the rant he also took aim at the low sales number of Chloe’s debut solo album In Pieces earlier this year.
Now, Halle is following in Chloe’s footsteps and releasing solo music of her own. Earlier this month, she dropped her debut solo single “Angel,” which has already racked up over 3 million streams. What do you think of Chloe x Halle having being accidentally served real meat for the first time in 10 years? Let us know in the comment section below.
Halle Bailey recently shared “Angel,” her debut solo single, which follows her starring role in the highly successful movie The Little Mermaid. Bailey’s boyfriend DDG also just unveiled his new album Maybe It’s Me. The pair make for a busy couple, and DDG made it clear in a red carpet interview at Billboard’s 2023 R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players event that the two enthusiastically support each other.
When the reporter asked him if he has streamed Bailey’s new song, DDG gushed, “I gave ‘Angel’ a million streams before it came out. I listen to it a lot; I’m a big supporter of her, obviously, of course.”
“It’s a woman’s time right now,” he said after the reporter mentioned the drama with Keke Palmer’s boyfriend. “I feel like women are more powerful than ever. As a man that’s a part of a woman of that stature, you just gotta be a supporter.”
DDG also discussed what his intentions were with making Maybe It’s Me. “I just wanted to get all the opinions and stuff that people had about me out of the way, play that villain role for a little bit,” the rapper said, “but now I’m back to making good, relatable music.”

Following a critically-acclaimed performance as Ariel in Disney’s live-action version of The Little Mermaid, Halle Bailey is finally putting out music of her own. For over a decade, Halle Bailey — who is simply going by Halle for her solo era — has been putting out music with her sister, Chlöe as the superstar duo, Chloe X Halle. Now, with her solo single, “Angel,” she is entering the landscape with her solo commercial debut.
On “Angel,” Halle reflects on growing up in the spotlight, and the painful words she received on the way. Over a piano-and-string-driven ballad, she rises above the heartache, and encourages others to follow.
“Heaven knows your wings can weigh you down / but angels make a way somehow,” Halle sings on the song’s chorus.
“Angel” is accompanied by an empowering visual directed by Wendy Morgan, which further cements Halle’s mission to uplift girls and young women like herself.
“This song for me is so very special and near and dear to my heart,” said Halle in a statement. “With everything I’ve gone through the past 3-4 years, suddenly finding myself in this bubble of all these eyes and new opinions, it was easy for me to feel doubt in myself and who I was. This song for me was my climb out of those feelings, a mantra and promise to myself that the work I’m doing here on earth matters and that I matter. I wanted to be able to embrace and be proud of myself and who I am naturally through and through. I hope other brown and Black girls and everyone in general feel embraced, respected, and inspired hearing the words of this song.”
Halle Bailey, one half of the Bailey sister duo, is set to make her debut as a solo artist with the release of her first single, “Angel,” on Friday, August 4th. The Little Mermaid star recently teased the release, sharing a snippet that combined childhood memories with her career highlights. Halle Bailey Gives Fans A […]
Now, Bailey is showcasing her resilience in a different way. On Monday, July 31, she posted a teaser video of her forthcoming debut solo single, “Angel,” to be released this Friday, August 4.
“Angels make a way somehow. Friday,” she captioned it.
The video is filled with throwback home video footage that shows Bailey progressively growing up — from an infant in a car seat to a young girl being thrilled to receive an electric guitar and showing someone an angel charm on her bracelet.
As a cover star for Essencelast year, Bailey admitted she was “so nervous to do something on my own” in relation to taking on the role of Ariel because she didn’t know whether she could do something without Chlöe, her sister with whom she shined in the power duo Chloe X Halle.
Bailey teased her future venture into solo music, saying, “Seeing how Chlöe’s navigated stepping out on her own is so inspiring to me.” Chlöe released her debut solo album,In Pieces, this spring.
“My angel forever and always [hearts-as-eyes emoji],” Chlöe posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. “I’m so proud of you sis. cannot wait, I love this song sm.”
When I listened to “Famous,” the opening track off DDG’s latest EP release, Maybe It’s Me, for the first time, it felt like reading the artist’s diary. The first lines left me feeling like I shouldn’t know any of this — but I couldn’t put it down.
In “Famous,” the Pontiac, Michigan rapper describes being insecure about his relationship with his girlfriend Halle Bailey. He raps, “The hardest thing I ever did was fall in love with a famous b*tch,” exposing the feelings of jealousy that he felt while she was promoting her film The Little Mermaid, and shares some of his fleeting thoughts of sabotage. While some folks would take those secrets to the grave (the backlash he’s receiving showing exactly why), he’s taking the toxic vulnerability path of Drake and Future. The overall arching theme of Maybe It’s Me is DDG embracing being the villain.
“I feel like my last project is basically, me going from playing the victim to me being the villain,” DDG told Uproxx the day of the EP’s release. “Accepting the role as a villain.” In an interview with DDG as he shopped for jewelry on Rodeo Drive, the controversial rapper detailed his TikTok-favorite single “I’m Geekin” and the controversy surrounding “Famous.”
Why do you think that people have started to not like you?
I honestly don’t know, to be honest.
Is it surprising for you?
To be real. It used to be, but now it’s kind of whatever, it is what it is. It’s just the internet. I see a lot of artists get hated on.
When I first heard “Famous,” the first thing I wanted to know was if Halle heard it before you put it out.
Yeah, she heard it.
She was okay with you putting it on the project?
Yeah. It’s just music. Sometimes I exaggerate situations purposely for the sake of the song. I think I’m going to just stop trolling. They can’t handle my humor, so I’m gonna just chill, drop music, and let it ride out.
You recently mentioned in a vlog how you wanted to start taking music more seriously and stop making the kind of videos you’re known for and on “Hard On Myself” you say: “Doin’ videos on the ‘net, but I’d rather just rap / One day, I’ma take that leap of faith and just focus on that.”
What’s holding you back from taking that leap of faith, outside the YouTube money?
It is just like – that’s how a lot of people might fall off in a way. They try to abandon what they are, where they got solid, for something that could work out or couldn’t. But, I just really want to do music. I’m just passionate about it. I ain’t tripping on no money or no shit. I just want to see how far I can do the music stuff.
I also want to also talk about the sound of the project because some of the songs like “Rizz” and “Rambo” sound like the early SoundCloud rap era. Is that what you were going for?
Nah, I wouldn’t say that vibe. I’d say I just got a few songs that are more specifically for performance. Then I got some songs that are more experimental, like the “Famous” song. It’s like a UK garage/hip-hop beat — a new sound that I was trying out. You got the slow joints, but the ones that were hyped are for performance.
“Hard on Myself” is nice. What made you record a song like that? Do you have more songs like that?
I don’t. That’s the only song I made like that. That’s where I feel like I am seeing what people like. They like that intellectual, lyrical, slow melody vibe. I feel like since the wintertime coming up I need to get something out for that time. I’m just locking in on that sound.
Since the internet jokes that they can’t name five DDG songs, what are five songs people should add to their playlist to get to know who you are musically?
I would say “I’m Geekin,” “Treat Me Right,” “Stay in My Circle,” “Impatient” and “Elon Musk.”
Tell me what it was like when you linked up with Luh Tyler for the first “I’m Geekin” remix.
That was lit. He’s a cool dude. It was dope. Good vibes. We got in the studio before. He hit me up to hop on the remix and sent me his verse back ASAP. It was like two days.
How did the “I’m Geekin” remix with Bia and NLE Choppa happen?
Choppa told me he wanted to get on it and then my A&R sent it to Bia. But, we are all cool though.
When Lady Gaga posted a TikTok to “I’m Geekin,” was that expected?
No, that was definitely the most unexpected thing.
You have a tweet that says female rappers are winning. Which five are you checking for right now?
I’d say Bia, Cardi B, Latto, Coi Leray, and Nicki Minaj.
Considering the song “Pioneer” and your journey so far, would you say you are creating your own kind of blueprint?
Yeah, I would say so. I feel like what I’m doing is extremely difficult. That’s why it hasn’t been done at my magnitude yet.
In a past interview with Uproxx, you said you wanted to know what it felt like to be Drake, Lil Baby, 50 Cent, and Diddy. You said, “I want to know what it feels like and I’m chasing that experience.” How close to that do you feel like you are?
I don’t know. I feel like I’m pretty far. I don’t look at any of my accomplishments and be like, “Oh, I’m getting closer.” I feel like my success has no limit. It’s hard for me to gauge how close I am to anything. I feel like when you get older it’s like, in the music industry especially, you don’t want to rap your whole life. You want to be able to have a catalog where you can also do other sh*t.
Is there an album next or will there be a third installment to this It’s Not Me It’s You, Maybe It’s Me, toxic series?
No, I’m working on the album. I’m going to put out a real album with a good amount of songs. One solid consistent sound. I have been talking to OG Parker about a Die 4 Respect 2 project. That might come about at some point.
Work on the live-action Snow White remake is underway, and some photos from the production have caused some drama online. The images, published by The Daily Mail last week, indicated that the roles of the seven dwarves will all, except for one, be played by average-sized people.
This ignited criticism over the movie’s casting and revived questioning about Rachel Zegler portraying the traditionally fair-skinned Snow White character. In particular, Ben Shapiro took exception to Zegler’s casting, saying in part, “[The word ‘white’] is literally in her name. That’s why she has her name. So I guess just to like, screw with people, they’re casting… Rachel Zegler’s a very talented person. It’s weird casting, you might say.”
Now, Halle Bailey, who herself faced some criticism when she was cast as Ariel in the remake of The Little Mermaid, showed support for Zegler.
Sharing some childhood photo of herself wearing various princess outfits, Zegler tweeted on July 15, “extremely appreciative of the love i feel from those defending me online, but please don’t tag me in the nonsensical discourse about my casting. i really, truly do not want to see it. so i leave you w these photos! i hope every child knows they can be a princess no matter what.”
Bailey quote-tweeted the post and added, “we love you so much [heart emoji] truly the perfect princess.” Zegler responded, “my sweetest girl [heart emoji] i love you always.”
Rapper DDG must have been feeling a way about watching his girlfriend The Little Mermaid star Halle Bailey on the big screen with another man. This New Music he dropped off an album called Maybe It’s Me, with the song “Famous” seemingly venting about his relationship woes with Bailey. “Filmin’ a movie now you kissing dudes / You know I love you a lot / I don’t give a f**k if that shit for promo / I don’t wanna see this s**t no more,” the Michigan-born artist made it clear.
Since the song’s release, the hashtag #FailedRapper has been trending on Twitter. “Halle Bailey is a beautiful and talented soul. DDG is very jealous and possessive about her career. The fact that he threatened to hurt her image because he is insecure is a bad sign,” one person reflected after catching up on the tea.
Elsewhere, others suggested that it could all be a ploy for attention. “Lol that’s [wild] failed rapper is still trending. @HalleBailey and @PontiacMadeDDG I feel like [they’re] good. If you know DDG you know he’s a troll. N if Halle wasn’t cool with the song it wouldn’t be out. DDG is like 6ix9ine but a good boy,” someone speculated.
