Chloe Bailey traded the chilly Los Angeles winter for the warm embrace of Lagos, Nigeria, just in time for the holiday season. The “Body Do” singer caused quite a stir when she was spotted cozying up to Nigerian music sensation Burna Boy, dazzling fans in a figure-hugging orange mini-dress that radiated vacation vibes.
Burna Boy rolled out the red carpet for Chloe upon her arrival at Lagos’ Murtala Muhammed International Airport on December 15, greeting her with flowers and whisking her off to concerts and nightclubs. The Nigerian public couldn’t get enough of their dynamic duo energy. On December 18, Chloe was seen cheering Burna on from the sidelines as he debuted his new single, “Bundle By Bundle,” during the high-profile GTCO end-of-year party. While Burna was on stage, it was Chloe’s glowing presence that captured everyone’s attention.
Chloe’s bold choice of attire—a vibrant CHAOS Orange mini-dress from Sodah London, priced at an impressively modest $32—set social media ablaze. Fans marveled at how she made the outfit look luxe, with one even suggesting Netflix should launch an Emily in Lagos spin-off starring her. Chloe doubled down on her Lagos glow by posting her outfit on Instagram with the caption “little miss sunshine,” making everyone enduring winter chills feel a pang of envy. She even playfully flexed on TikTok, quipping about being a “cold a– b—- on a cold a– day,” while basking in the Nigerian sunshine.
Her wardrobe didn’t stop at the orange dress. Chloe’s vacation style was a parade of hits, from a chic black two-piece to a tiger-print bodycon that had fans buzzing. She also sported Burna Boy’s iconic $1 million ODG diamond chain, a nod to his 2020 hit “Odogwu,” which means “warrior” or “strong man” in Igbo.
The pair were inseparable throughout Chloe’s Lagos trip, fueling speculation about their relationship status. However, skeptics wondered if their closeness was more of a publicity stunt. Just days after Chloe jetted back to the U.S., Burna Boy was seen hosting her ex, rapper Gunna, in his studio. Chloe and Gunna had a public on-and-off romance in 2021 and 2022, which inspired her song “For The Night.” Burna and Chloe reportedly crossed paths earlier at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards and have since been spotted at various events, including Burna’s Saint Lucia concert in May 2024.
Meanwhile, Burna Boy’s own romantic history includes a three-year relationship with British rapper Stefflon Don, which ended in 2021. Chloe has also been linked to Offset in the past, adding another layer of intrigue to her high-profile dating life.
While the true nature of Chloe and Burna’s connection remains a topic of debate, one thing is clear: Chloe’s Lagos getaway was the perfect blend of sun, style, and buzz-worthy moments.
