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.
“Shotta Flow” rapper NLE Choppa has recently turned to a healthier lifestyle using healthy practices like meditation and homemade tea regiments to get him feeling right for his day. NLE, 20, born Bryson Lashun Potts, arrived on the music scene in 2019 with his 10 song EP, Cottonwood. Cottonwood introduces NLE with hard beats, blunt lyrics and a Memphis twist. His 2019 single “Shotta Flow” featuring Blueface, was so successful, that it became 3X platinum and charted top 40 on Billboard Hot 100,. This demonstrated that NLE was someone not to be taken lightly.

Taking control of his career, Memphis rapper NLE Choppa became the CEO of his personal label, No Love Entertainment. Turning down deals with Republic Records, Interscope Records, and Caroline, the rapper has proved that he is more than adequate at being able to handle his business in the industry. However, NLE did sign an independent distribution deal with UnitedMasters with the rights to his masters and publishing. His continued success with hits like “Walk Em Down” featuring Roddy Rich, made so many waves that it guaranteed him a spot on XXL’s 2020 Freshman Class alongside Fivio Foreign, Baby Keem, and Polo G.
From Music to Meditation

Lately, NLE has been up to more than just making aggressive lyrical flows. Implementing a new healthy routine into his life, NLE says, “To Be A Champion You Have To Start Your Day Like One.” Recently making videos of his healing remedies on TikTok and Instagram, fans get to see inside how he stays his spirited self.
Starting his day off with morning meditation, NLE spends time in the sun to resonate with his surroundings and ground his aura. He uses an amethyst crystal, used for serenity and manifesting calm emotions, to clear his space. Being that NLE is a water sign in the astrological world, as he’s a Scorpio, NLE says he keeps his crystal in a seashell to bring it closer to its abilities.
NLE Stays Dedicated to His Healthy Lifestyle
Next, NLE uses sage to remove any negative energy around him and his surroundings. Sage is used to enhance cognitivity and protect the body against unwanted energies. He lights it, pointing up, of course, to keep its positivity, and proceeds to let its aroma and smoke envelope his body to release its tension and balance his mind.
After NLE clears his energy, he makes a homemade pot of lemon and ginger tea. Filling the pot up halfway with water, he infuses it over the stove with lemon and ginger slices. This type of tea reduces the intake of toxins in the body, protects the body from inflammation, helps digestion, congestion and serves as a very tasty ritual to include in his healthy lifestyle. For reference, the tea should come to a full boil, then reduce the heat to let the lemons and ginger infuse their flavor for at least 15 minutes. This also allows the organic qualities of the tea to take root when you drink it.
NLE also makes sure to keep a strict vegan diet, only eating fruits and vegetables. For breakfast, he makes a hearty smoothie with strawberries and blueberries. Eating fruits like grapefruit and plant-based products to increase physical energy, he is then able to work out by lifting weights and running.
He also takes good care of his appearance by keeping his skin hydrated with facial products and clay masks. NLE says he may hate the struggle, but it’s essentially made him “harder.” This is no surprise, as the healthy routine he uses includes rigorous practices that take patience, time, and dedication to not only begin, but keep them as an everyday habit to increase the quality of your health.

Though NLE has changed his lifestyle, the journey to this new road wasn’t easy. In2022 he and ex-girlfriend, Marissa Da’Nae, announced that their son, Seven had passed away due a miscarriage. This could very well have influenced his decision to become more balanced and spiritual.
After the passing of their son, NLE took to the studio to transform his pain into devotion by writing song, “The Gender Reveal Song,” where he raps about how he would have cared for his son or daughter. Singing, “Love her or love him, every decision is made for them. God should be the only one you put above them. When you hold them in your hand, I swear you can’t unlove them.” Though he and the mother of Seven are no longer together, NLE has shown Marissa his support through their grieving process.
As for his latest release, “Do It Again” featuring 2Rare, his hard delivery is embodied impeccably. As he continues to stay healthy with his meditative practices, fans should anticipate a stronger, focused, and leveled up NLE, as the benefits of his new lifestyle are very powerful and positive.

California Governor Gavin Newson just approved a $308 billion state budget, which includes historic investments in supporting the proliferation of plant-based meals at schools across the state. As part of the budget, $100 million will be used to support schools in procuring plant-based foods, as well as sustainably produced foods, California-grown foods, and foods to accommodate the dietary needs of students. An additional $600 million will be invested in upgrading school kitchen infrastructure and in training and compensating food service workers, who will be tasked with preparing new plant-based meals and increasing scratch-cooking—which is an important factor in expanding these types of meals in schools.
With this development, California is the first state to invest public funds into plant-based school meal programs. California’s new $300 billion budget includes funding for initiatives that will increase plant-based meal options at schools.
