Roommates, it seems that R. Kelly isn’t the sole R&B sensation showcasing his vocal talents in the recent ‘Residuals’ challenge. Chloe Bailey has also made waves by delivering a fiery rendition with her remixed lyrics to the trending track by Chris Brown. This has sparked curiosity among fans, who are speculating whether she is subtly targeting her nephew’s father, DDG, throwing shade at Burna Boy following their recent romantic involvement, or simply flaunting her impressive vocal abilities!

Chloe Bailey’s Bold Performance in the ‘Residuals’ Challenge
On Friday, March 14, Chloe shared her captivating version of the challenge across her social media platforms. Fans quickly picked up on her bold lyrics, which seemed to call out an unnamed romantic interest for wasting “all [her] time.” For just over a minute, Bailey confidently reminded everyone that her vocal skills are always ready to shine!
“Don’t know about them other girls you used to deal with, but I don’t need to buy a man to give me love to lay with, no. You ain’t even worth it, got me out here looking crazy. I shouldn’t have ignored all the signs, you wasted all my time. Know you gonna miss all of the times that we had shared. All the women you got on the hold, they never could compare. Ohhh,” she passionately sang.
As the track progressed, Chloe threw in a few clever digs at this seemingly untrustworthy partner. Ultimately, her lyrics convey a strong message of self-empowerment and independence, indicating she’s more than willing to walk away if necessary. “We had the potential, but you’re so predictable. You can have the residuals. I could’ve built you up, built you up, but I’m fine with walking away. I don’t need this twisted love. Just my luck, I’m better on my own anyway. I’m telling you, you, you, who’s getting all my love. I’m getting all my love, gonna take back my residuals.”

Fans Speculate Whether Chloe Is Subtly Targeting Burna Boy
As expected, Chloe’s followers flooded her comment section with praise for her stunning vocals. Her sister, Halle Bailey, chimed in on Instagram, exclaiming, “Woo!!!”, while Tank shared his admiration by writing, “Voice is PHENOMENAL!!!” Angela Simmons also joined in, leaving multiple clapping emojis to express her appreciation.
In response to TSR’s clip, fans began to formulate their own theories about the meanings behind Chloe’s lyrics, which led to some lively discussions!
@miss_undercoveer commented, “She referring to DDG for sure, speaking on behalf of her sister.”
@__jesseessie agreed, adding, “Idk I feel like she’s speaking for Halle.” Similarly, @teyababytheartist expressed, “She referring to DDG y’all…lol.” @ty_leshea took a similar stance, saying, “She fired shots on her sister’s behalf.”
Some fans even mistook Chloe for Halle, with @nola_tailsyouwin commenting, “Girl, bye, let that man see his son.”
However, @_neerod_xx proposed a different angle, suggesting that Chloe’s lyrics might be more personal, stating, “I’m sure she’s referring to Burna.”
Another user, @sweetylyx, added, “Burna Boy done let my sis be in her feelings.” @gailffiong echoed this sentiment with, “Why do I feel like she’s referring to Burna Boy?”
“You can’t build Burna up girl, he’s already built up,” defended @hernamespretty, in support of the Nigerian artist.
@hukkahhh noted, “‘All the women you got on the low.’ Used Burna’s lyrics to get back at him. A Queen❤️”
“She talking about her and Burna Boy,” added @freemansharon108, further fueling the speculation.
Exploring the Current Dynamics Between Chloe and Burna Boy
To provide some context, theories about Chloe speaking on behalf of her sister arise from DDG’s recent claims that Halle Bailey was making it difficult for him to see their son, Halo. However, according to an update he shared with fans on Thursday, that dynamic seems to have shifted.

On the other hand, the origins of the Burna Boy rumors remain unclear. Just a few weeks ago, Chloe and the acclaimed singer were seen getting cozy in several viral videos. Their history dates back to the holidays when they were first spotted together enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of Detty December in Lagos, Nigeria, Burna’s home country. During that time, videos captured them enjoying each other’s company at various outings.
In early February, Chloe and Burna were again seen together, this time flaunting matching diamond watches during a dinner date. By Valentine’s Day, more footage surfaced, showcasing their budding romance. One clip captured Chloe affectionately telling Burna, “I love you,” while other videos revealed them sharing multiple kisses and enjoying playful moments in what appeared to be a private setting.
