Chlöe Bailey is hitting back at the people who misinterpreted the intent behind saying she’d had a crush on Kendrick Lamar when she was a teenager.
Earlier this week, the singer/actress went live to talk with her fans about how much she loves GNX, and at one point, noted how she’s been a fan of Kendrick’s for nearly a decade. She laughed at how she even had a childhood crush on the Compton rapper when she first discovered him – but this was later interpreted by some people on social media as her shooting her shot at K. Dot, who has been with fiancé Whitney Alford for many years.
Seeing the online critique, Chlöe hopped back on Live on Thanksgiving (November 28) and cleared up the misconception.
“I’m not shooting my shot at a married man. I was talking about years and years ago,” she clarified. “I was sharing how I was a diehard Kendrick fan from day one. Everyone just doesn’t like happiness. Everybody has to take everything so seriously. I would never. Honestly I don’t let stuff like that get to me anymore because I think it’s funny now how people take things out of context. I’m innocent, child!”

She continued: “If you guys won’t stop asking me about the Kendrick stuff! I was sharing my love for the album. And I was sharing my mindset at 17-years-old. Just like how I shared my love for Omarion from B2K. Like come on, give me a break guys.”
Alford, who shares two children with Kendrick Lamar, was a hot topic during his rap battle with Drake.
Drizzy made numerous allegations about their relationship in the beef, including accusations of domestic violence.

On “Family Matters,” he venomously spat: “When you put your hands on your girl, is it self-defense ’cause she bigger than you? […] They hired a crisis management team to clean up the fact that you beat on your queen/ The picture you painted ain’t what it seem, you’re dead.”
He also rapped: “Why did you move to New York?/ Is it ’cause you livin’ that bachelor life?/ Proposed in 2015 but don’t wanna make her your actual wife /I’m guessin’ this wedding ain’t happenin’, right?/ ‘Cause we know the girls that you actually like/ Your darkest secrets are comin’ to light.”
Drake even suggested that one of the couple’s children was actually fathered by K. Dot’s manager and business partner Dave Free: “You did her dirty all your life, you tryna make peace/ I heard that one of ’em little kids might be Dave Free.”
Kendrick later hit back by featuring Alford and their two children in his “Not Like Us” music video, with the happy family dancing around a living room to the chart-topping diss song.

The Compton native previously admitted to cheating on his longtime partner on his Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers track “Mother I Sober” and claimed that he suffered from sex addiction, something he sought professional help for.
