Chlöe Bailey's fans came to the singer's defense, again, when she came under fire over her recent Minnie Riperton cover. The "Have Mercy" singer shared a video of her beautifully singing Riperton's 1974 song "Lovin' You" on Monday, but unfortunately some viewers couldn't get past her demeanor.

Several people made rude or negative comments on Bailey's display of sensuality, largely saying that she missed the mark when it comes to presenting sex appeal or that she was "doing too much."

On Monday, Bailey decided to send out a message in response to the backlash, clapping back at the people telling her to tone it down.

"I like how you can’t criticize my singing or who i am as an artist, so people find something else to find," she tweeted. "That’s a compliment."

Still, fans rushed to her defense and slammed critics who issued their unwarranted opinions.
