Beyoncé is partly to blame for Chloe Bailey's poor album sales and should have promoted it on her social media, suggests DJ Envy

• DJ Envy has suggested that Beyoncé is partly responsible for the low sales of Chloe Bailey's debut album.
• Bailey is signed to Beyoncé's Parkwood Entertainment record label.

DJ Envy has suggested that Beyoncé should be held partly responsible for the low sales of Chloe Bailey's debut album because she didn't plug it on her own social media platforms.

Bailey, who is signed to Beyoncé's Parkwood Entertainment, released her debut studio album "In Pieces" on March 31.

The project sold just 10,000 units in its first week and is currently No. 119 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

On Wednesday, Envy discussed Beyoncé's role in helping promote Bailey's album with his fellow "The Breakfast Club" host Charlamagne Tha God and guest host Aida Rodriguez.

Responding to comments online that criticized Beyoncé for not posting about Bailey's album release on her own social media accounts, Envy said: "I do feel if you're signed to somebody's record label, or you are in business with somebody, right, that's part of what you expect."

"That's why I'm signing to you," he added. "I'm signing to you because I'm hoping I'm going to get a Beyoncé verse. I'm signing to you because I'm hoping that I'm going to get some of your fans. I'm signing to you so I can get some of your knowledge, and wisdom, and your promo."

Charlamagne and Rodriguez didn't totally agree with Envy's take, however.

"I think Beyoncé should post because that's her artist, but Beyoncé isn't obligated to post," Charlamagne said. "If Beyoncé's post is gonna make y'all buy the album, great, but the reality is, if you didn't know Chloe's album is out, you know now, so go buy her album."

"Also, Beyoncé used to post Ivy Park all the time and y'all didn't buy that," Charlamagne added, referring to the singer's athleisure clothing line.

Rodriguez said: "I think the people who are saying that Beyoncé should post... I would like for them to show proof that they brought the album. Are you in that 10,000?"

Bailey herself responded to the underwhelming commercial performance of her debut album.

On the opening night of her tour of the same name in Chicago on Tuesday, Bailey told the crowd: "Make sure y'all are supporting the motherfuckin' album."

"Fuck what the fuck everybody gotta fucking say, they can kiss my Black ass. Because I know you guys love me and this is all I need," she added. "Thank you for loving me, thank you for being here, thank you for your energy."

Comedian Druski, who stars alongside Bailey in the Peacock movie "Praise This," defended the singer's low album sales in an interview with TMZ on Wednesday.

"Fuck 'em," he said of her critics. "She got better album sales than me. Shit, I'm on iTunes too, it's better than mine."

Representatives for Beyoncé did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
