Chlöe Bailey and Burna Boy sparked rumors over the weekend after they were seen together in Lagos, Nigeria, looking quite close. The R&B singer arrived in Burna Boy’s hometown on Sunday (Dec. 15), where she was greeted with a large bouquet of flowers at the airport. As she got into a luxury convoy, a bystander referred to her as Odogwu’s “wife.” “Odogwu,” which means “leader” or “strong man” in Igbo, is a title that Burna Boy has proudly adopted for himself.
Later, more footage emerged showing Chlöe getting in and out of Burna’s purple Lamborghini Aventador while being presented with another large bouquet of red roses. In another video, the two appeared affectionate and even danced together in a private area of a Lagos venue, with Burna putting his arm around her.
Social media had plenty to say, with one fan commenting, “Lmaooo I didn’t see this coming,” while another joked about Burna’s famous ex, Stefflon Don, saying, “I hope Chlöe Bailey knows how to rap in Patois because Steff is writing her verse as we speak.”
Chlöe, who recently announced she’s single, also made headlines earlier for revealing a past crush on Kendrick Lamar. “About eight years ago, I went through a whole Kendrick phase,” she shared, mentioning other music phases she had, including Frank Ocean, FKA Twigs, and Tune-Yards. She even joked that at the time, she thought she would end up with him. Despite the innocent nature of the crush, she clarified on Instagram Live, “I’m not shooting my shot at a married man,” adding, “I was talking about years and years ago.”
