Chlöe Bailey giggles when asked about her "dear friend" Gunna.

Chlöe Bailey likely stood at the top of the list of things Gunna missed the most during his incarceration. The “You & I” collaborators began to develop a friendship that many perceived could be much more than that. However, things between the singer and the DS4EVER rapper came to a halt when the YSL RICO case unfolded. Gunna, along with Young Thug and over two dozen overs, were charged with violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization act, while Chlöe’s solo career continued to flourish.

However, the two didn’t lose complete contact since Gunna got caught up in the case. Chlöe appeared on Big Boy’s Neighborhood to discuss her upcoming album, In Pieces. However, the conversation led to her friendship with Gunna. When Big Boy asked Chlöe if she spoke to Gunna since his release, she began to giggle. “I mean, we don’t really talk about a personal type of things but he’s doing good,” she told the host as she tried to keep her response brief.

Chlöe Hasn’t Seen Gunna Since Prison Release

Big Boy acknowledged his efforts as “clickbait,” while prying further on the topic. “I always wish him the best. He’s always been a dear friend of mine so I want to make sure he’s okay,” she said. Chlöe confirmed that she hasn’t seen Gunna since he came home but she said that they’ve had a few conversations since he copped an Alford Plea. Evidently, she’s not holding the snitching allegations over Gunna’s head like a few of his peers in hip-hop, like Lil Baby and Meek Mill.

The rumors surrounding a potential romance began to take shape when Gunna shared a flirty comment after Chlöe delivered a sultry performance at the VMAs in 2021. Then, Gunna took his shot on the Breakfast Club where he made it clear that he's feeling her. That particular moment turned into the inspiration behind Chlöe's single, "For The Night." "I might regret saying this, but hey, maybe it’ll help f*cking streams. I don’t even think he knows this! I wrote ‘For The Night’ about Gunna,” Bailey admitted. "Yep, I said it bitches. I said it. So, you know. Yep. I wrote that song after The Breakfast Club interview I believe." Check Chlöe's comments about Gunna above.
