Chappell Roan challenges music executive who criticized her Grammy speech about healthcare for the needy


Chappell Roan responded to music executive Jeff Rabhan's controversial critique of her speech during the Grammys, where she called for 'a livable wage and health care' for struggling artists.

On Friday, the rising pop star singled out Jeff Rabhan, who wrote a controversial op-ed piece for The Hollywood Reporter that slammed her speech, days after she lobbied the music industry to offer 'a livable wage and health care' for struggling artists. The Pink Pony Club singer, 26, took to her Instagram Stories page and asked Rabhan, who's the former chair of the Clive Davis Institute Of Recorded Music at Tisch School Of The Arts at NYU and the co-founder and CEO of 'edutainment platform' bored-of-ed.com, to follow-up her recent cash donation to her fellow musicians. The guest writer dropped the names of late legends Prince and Tom Petty, describing them as worthy leaders of change who 'fought for their souls and for the rights to their music, putting their careers in jeopardy for what they believed was artistic integrity — the hallmark of greatness.'
