Earlier this year, Chanel surprised fans by stepping into a brand-new musical lane with her sassy country debut, “Lil’ Bit Country.” “Music has always been a huge part of my life, it's in my DNA,” Chanel explained. “I started writing poetry at seven, songs at 14, and spent my childhood in choir, orchestra, drama, hip-hop dance, and cheerleading. I was homeschooled at 16 so I could focus on music full-time. Now, I'm so excited for people to hear me sing for the first time.”

In another recent post, Chanel leaned fully into her country-inspired aesthetic, posing against a rustic stable backdrop. Dressed in a distressed denim crop top and matching shorts, the star paired her look with bold accessories, including a chunky necklace, hoop earrings, and a white cowboy hat. White cowboy boots completed the outfit, giving her a polished yet rugged edge that fit perfectly with the western theme.
The post, which pulled in over 8,700 likes, once again stirred mixed reactions in the comments. Some fans showered her with love, calling her “Beautiful Chanel” and “Love you mommy Chanel.” Others kept it short but supportive, dropping red heart emojis or sweet affirmations like “I love you.”
But not everyone was on board. One critic slammed her transition into the country genre, writing, “You're not even country. Singing other people’s songs… idk who you are. Sing some of your own music.” Another follower was blunt with a simple “Nope.”
