Chloe Bailey calls comparison to sister Halle disturbing and shallow

American musician, Chloe Bailey has called the comparisons between her and sister, Halle Bailey, “shallow” and “disturbing.”

Although Chloe stated that there were no downsides on our side to experiencing fame with her sister, she said “what annoys me a lot. I hate when people online constantly try to compare my sister and I. It is the most shallow, most disturbing thing. It was very off-putting to know how people would try to put two young Black sisters who love their craft so much and love each other so much, how they try to pit them against each other just because they’re different in some ways. So that’s the only downside.”  

The sisters make up the Grammy-nominated R&B duo Chloe x Halle. Chloe kicked off her solo career in 2021. While Halle landed the lead role in the forthcoming live-action remake of Disney’s The Little Mermaid. Despite this, their support for one another is still as strong as ever

In a joint interview for Cosmopolitan’s October 2020 issue, Halle spoke up about being “apart” from Chloe. She said,

“I feel like my right arm is missing. I say this all the time: I’m not sure what I would do if I was by myself going through this whole thing … whenever individual opportunities come, it’s exciting because when one of us wins, the other one does too,” Halle continued.”

Chloe chimed in,
“Whatever we bring to the table, it’s not like we’re trying to come up with, ‘Okay, I’ll be this way and you be that way.’ We’re not trying to force anything or purposely construct two different narratives or suffocate the other into one type of way.”
