Chlöe Bailey recently announced a single featuring singer Chris Brown. This didn’t go down too well with several social media users, including Kiely Williams, who slammed the collaboration. Williams’ criticism triggered a war of words between her and Brown.
Chlöe debuted a preview of “How Does It Feel,” a collaboration with Chris Brown, earlier this week. However, given Chris’ relationship with Rihanna, some Chlöe fans were not pleased with her choice of collaborator and expressed their displeasure on social media.
Former 3LW member Kiely Williams was one of them. After Chris assaulted his then-girlfriend in 2009, Kiely accused Chris of using Black women to gain access “back into the mainstream.”
“Let him come out with his own record—so genius, so captivating that it makes us all forget HE BEATS WOMEN,” Williams tweeted. “He can’t so he wont. So what does he do? He slowly creeps back into the mainstream by getting small nods for features on Black Women’s merit. Black women who are more talented, more worthy, but give him the okay. I am swatting the f*cking air rn. Garbage. 🤮🤮🤮”

“Obviously you are at a point in your life where either you are very broke or broken…The fact you think you have to speak negatively about me makes u look so l*me…Your life and career must suck right now…minding your business would’ve been best..but I guess you don’t have a business or a real job that makes u financially stable. I feel more embarrassed for you and your actual maturity.”
