Chappell Roan Challenges Op-Ed Writer to Match Donation for Struggling Artists

Chappell Roan challenged the writer of the op-ed who criticized her Grammys speech to donate to a fund supporting struggling artists.

Chappell Roan “put her money where her mouth is” and challenged the writer of the op-ed who criticized her Grammys speech to donate $25,000 to a fund supporting struggling artists who have been dropped by their label. In an op-ed for The Hollywood Reporter, published with the title “ Chappell Groan: The Misguided Rhetoric of an Instant Industry Insider,” music exec Jeff Rabhan criticized Roan’s speech, calling the singer “far too green and uninformed to be the agent of change she aspires to be today.” “Wanna match me $25k to donate to struggling dropped artists?,” she wrote, tagging both Rabhan’s Instagram handle and that of her PR company.
