Chart-topping singer looks unrecognizable without makeup as she steps out in LA… can you guess who?

This chart-topping singer looked unrecognizable as she stepped out in Beverly Hills on Tuesday.

The Brooklyn-born star, 35, whose family hails from Albania, was far from her red carpet glamour as she strolled down the street during a makeup-free outing.

It was the first public sighting of the hitmaker since she was reportedly dropped by her label, Warner Records, following more than a decade of working together. 

The blonde beauty embraced casual style in a black sweatsuit, with her hair styled in natural, messy curls as she headed to an appointment.

The Grammy-nominated artist completed the look with black slides, and was joined by a female pal.  

Can you guess who she is?

That’s right, it’s Bebe Rexha!

Last month it was reported that Bebe had been dropped by Warner Records.

The American hitmaker has parted ways with the label after they were embroiled in a series of spats.

Bebe previously had a number one hit in 2022 when she joined forces with David Guetta for his track I’m Good (Blue), and has released three albums with Warner since signing to them in 2013.

However, sources have now told The Sun that things have grown increasingly tense between them, with Bebe ‘frustrated’ about the direction of her career.

A source said: ‘Bebe has become really frustrated about her career so when things reached an impᴀsse with Warner and they said it was best to stop working together, she decided not to fight it.’

‘She has told friends that she wants a fresh start and didn’t feel like she could do it there anyway.’

A source close to Bebe told MailOnline: ‘She was not dropped by Warners, they mutually decided to part ways because they have different visions at the moment.’

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Bebe Rexha and Warner Records for comment.

Bebe’s departure from Warner Records has already been made official, with the star removed from the company’s website, and she has unfollowed them on Instagram.

She has also recently hired a new management team to steer her career in a new direction, as her trio of albums have struggled to chart in the UK.

Her debut Expectations, released in 2018, is the only one to chart so far, reaching just number 33.

Bebe has had far more success with her collaborative tracks, including Meant To Be with Florida Georgia Line, which holds the record for the most streamed country song of all-time on Spotify.

But in 2023, One In A Million featuring David Guetta reached just number 79, and her song with British DJ Nathan Dawe, Heart Still Beating, landed at number 74.

Bebe previously showed her frustration at her career in a rant on X last summer, writing: ‘I have been UNDERMINED. I’ve been so quiet for the longest time. I haven’t seen the signs even though people constantly are bringing them up and they have been SO OBVIOUS,’ she wrote in a post, shared to X.

She continued: ‘And when I have spoken up I’ve been silence and PUNISHED by this industry Things must change or I’m telling ALL of my truths. The good the bad and the ugly.’

The singer, who rose to fame after helping pen Eminem’s hit single The Monster back in 2013, returned to the platform to clarify her post was ‘not just coming from a place of anger.’

‘It’s sadness. I’m sitting in my H๏τel room in London Crying my eyes out,’ she wrote. ‘I’ve felt hopeless for the longest time. I’ve been walking a lot through this city and meeting fans and they have really ignited something inside of me.’

In response to a fan asking ‘what happened again’ underneath the post, Rexha replied, ‘Again? You haven’t even heard 5 percent. You have NO IDEA.’

When asked who prevented her from speaking out, the musician wrote back: ‘THEY PUNISH YOU.’

After one X user insinuated that Rexha was going on a tirade to drum up dress for her new single, I’m the Drama, she sH๏τ back: ‘IM FED UP.’

Over her career, Rexha has written songs for Selena Gomez, Nick Jonas, Iggy Azalea, Florida Georgia Line, Tate McRae, Mickey Guyton and more.

In August, the star also furiously claimed that she was ‘threatened’ by a security agent for speaking Albanian, and reportedly banned from boarding her Lufthansa flight out of Munich Airport.
