The American R&B duo Emotional Oranges has finally addressed the swirling rumors regarding a potential collaboration with Danielle from the immensely popular girl group NewJeans.

Recently, the duo's official Instagram account shared a cozy photo featuring Danielle, which sparked a wave of speculation. The post included a caption teasing fans with, "Just give us some time, guys, it’s coming," alongside playful emojis—a bright orange and a cute bunny. The orange clearly represented the duo, while the bunny symbolized NewJeans' fandom, known affectionately as ‘Bunnies’. However, the unexpected appearance of Danielle's sister, Olivia, in the same photo only fueled further intrigue about a collaboration.

Despite the excitement, reactions quickly turned sour, with many fans raising concerns over Danielle's ability to record new music while her group is embroiled in a legal conflict with their agency, ADOR. This situation has led to claims that all professional activities should be on hold until the matter is resolved.

In light of the growing controversy, Emotional Oranges swiftly deleted the original post, which only amplified the chatter online. A quick turnaround on May 22 saw the duo repost the image—and this time, they included a clarifying message that dashed any hopes of a Danielle collaboration.

The duo reassured fans, saying, "There's no Dani collab. I was just helping produce a song for Livvie 😢😢!! Sorry if we caused any confusion, but that genuinely wasn’t the intention. Hope you’re enjoying ‘Orenjii’ & we can’t wait to see you on tour soon."

Meanwhile, NewJeans is reportedly gearing up for a legal showdown, bringing in a team of high-profile lawyers to contest their case against ADOR. With tensions high and fans eagerly awaiting updates, the saga is far from over.
