Chloe Bailey is facing backlash from fans after sharing enthusiastic posts about attending Kanye West’s concert at SoFi Stadium.
The 27-year-old singer and actress posted a series of videos to Instagram, calling the performance “legendary” and expressing that she felt “so inspired.” The show marked the first U.S. stop on West’s current tour, his first American concerts since 2021.
West, who now goes by Ye, has been criticized worldwide for his repeated antisemitic statements, describing himself as a Nazi, releasing a song called Heil Hitler, and selling clothing featuring swastikas. Many online users quickly condemned Bailey for publicly supporting the controversial artist. One commenter on X wrote: “chloe baby.. put the phone down omfg,” while another referenced her previous collaboration with Chris Brown, saying, “Wtf is wrong with her? I tried to give her a 2nd chance after that Chris Brown collab but forget it.”
West is scheduled to perform multiple shows worldwide in the coming months, including headlining all three nights of the Wireless Festival in July. The booking has drawn criticism from Jewish leaders and politicians, including UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who stated: “Antisemitism in any form is abhorrent and must be confronted clearly and firmly wherever it appears. Everyone has a responsibility to ensure Britain is a place where Jewish people feel safe and secure.”
Bailey’s posts have reignited debate over celebrity support of controversial figures, highlighting the growing tension surrounding West’s upcoming appearances and public perception.
