Chloe Baileyisn’t a fan of being compared to her sisterHalle Bailey.
The “Have Mercy” singer, 23, opened up about her relationship with Halle, 21, during a cover interview forIn The Know’sJanuary 2022 issue, calling comparisons of the sisters “shallow” and “disturbing.”
While Chloe toldElaine Welteroth"there were no downsides on our side" when it came to experiencing fame with her sister, she added: “But I will tell you 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,” thegrown-ishactress continued. “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 talented sisters make up the Grammy-nominated R&B duoChloe x Halle. Chloe kicked off her solo career last year, and Halle landed the lead role in the forthcoming live-action remake of Disney’sThe Little Mermaid.As they find solo success, their support for one another is unwavering.
