Not Beyonce getting dragged on her own d*mn internet Chile!
First of all, let me just get this out before we jump into the details!
If Beyonce promoted the album and it debuted at number 20 instead of number 119 ya’ll would have said it was because Bey promoted it and this whole story would have been different.
But anyway!
Social media users are calling out Beyonce for not helping Chloe with her album debut.
As we reported…… Chloe’s “In Pieces” sold a total of 10,000 units in its first week.
This includes both physical and digital copies of the album.
Chlöe’s ‘In Pieces’ debuts at #119 on this week’s Billboard 200 (10K sold; @ChloeBailey).

Chloe responded to the hoopla by explaining that her album was about trusting herself.
in pieces was about letting go & trusting myself. i’ve enjoyed every moment of it and i love everyone who listened to it. tour starts tomorrow in chicago and im so ready to perform these songs for yall ❤️?

Despite her statement, people still think Beyonce should have helped.
It’s so funny to see forehead minions and garbs posing as chlovers and using Chloe to try and drag Beyoncé. https://t.co/7JBtxDcUa2

not to be funny, but I really wanna know what was the point of Beyoncé signing chloe? like was it for a look? so that someone can be under her? I don’t get it, cause how do you let your artist drop an album & you don’t support it not once & now she sold 10k ?

Idk it seems like to me Chloe’s attachment to Beyonce is one of the biggest things holding her back marketing wise. Everyone wants her to be the next Beyonce and won’t see her as her own person. So maybe she didn’t even want Beyoncé to post ??♂️ https://t.co/mFZ279K2cn

Is Chloe signed to Parkwood Entertainment?
Chloe x Halle were originally discovered by Beyoncé and signed to her management company, Parkwood Entertainment, in 2013.
They released their debut album “The Kids Are Alright” in 2018 under Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records.
However, as of September 2021, Chloe x Halle are not signed to Parkwood Entertainment as a record label, but they continue to be managed by the company.

According to Billboard, Chloe’s album received Bey’s nod of approval with a few notes attached.
“Yes, I know she listened to the album,” Bailey shared when asked by ET if the “Break My Soul” singer had heard In Pieces yet. “She gave me notes on it before I released it.”
“I love her so much,” Bailey continued. “Dearly, dearly, and I’m so grateful to her for everything.”
Since being taken under Beyoncé’s wing, Chloe x Halle have released three LPs: 2017’s The Two of Us, 2018’s The Kids Are Alright and 2020’s Ungodly Hour. The elder Bailey went on to kick off a solo career with her 2021 debut single “Have Mercy.”
Bailey also opened up about how she’s feeling now following In Pieces‘ March 31 release. “I was so nervous, and now I just feel at peace,” the Swarm actress confessed. “I’m so happy it’s out. I got to say everything I wanted to say, and I hope people get an insight more into who Chloe is.”
If only Chloe had as many streams as she does tweets her album would be off the charts.
