Chloe Bailey is facing backlash for attending Kanye West’s SoFi Stadium concert. The singer was seen singing along with the rest of the audience at the concert, and she posted a string of videos to her Instagram Stories.

The criticism leveled against her included that of supporting West despite his past remarks regarding slavery and his release of a song praising the Nazi dictator Hitler, among other criticisms.

The backlash against Chloe Bailey has now generated reactions from netizens, with some calling out the lack of backlash against men who attended the concert. There were also calls to let people support whoever they want to. Others had more varied reactions.

"Out of all the men that went to Ye’s concert- Chloe is getting all the backlash? This makes no sense… No smoke for Dave Chappelle, Rod Wave, Diplo, Paul Pierce, Kevin Gates, Rich The Kid, The Game, Travis Bennett, 2slimey, Plaqueboymax, Deon Cole, Jason Lee… but Chloe the problem? Be ffr."
"Girl let ppl support who they want too. Ye is a good artist what he do in his personal life has nothing to do with her." one netizen stated.
"She can support him are you all crazy? This is America! They always trying to cancel some1 nobody is perfect. Ye talented and that is why h8terz are mad." another netizen reacted.
"Lauryn Hill was on stage w Ye and yaa talking about Chloe. Selective." one commenter said.
"Why isn’t @deoncole getting the same backlash as Chloe Bailey right now? Yall were just defending him when he attacked Nicki but now that he went to the same concert as Chloe it’s crickets." another questioned.
"Its past my bedtime it’s timeline is pissing me off again, I’m not sure why the fuck people are mad at Chloe Bailey for living her f***ing life, yeah sure I’m not a big fan of Kanye West. I’m not a fan of Kanye West at all but if she’s a fan leave her alone." an X user stated.
