Chappell Roan has responded to former music executive Jeff Rabhan's critical op-ed about her Grammys speech in The Hollywood Reporter. Rabhan challenged her assertion that music labels should provide livable wages and health care for artists. He questioned this stance by stating it blurred the lines between label responsibility and personal accountability. In response, Roan challenged Rabhan to match her significant donation to struggling artists and received support from fellow artist Halsey, who criticized Rabhan's generalizations about artists' experiences in the industry.
If labels are responsible for artists' wages, health care and overall well-being, where does it end and personal responsibility begin? Should Chris Blackwell put a mint on her pillow and tuck her in at night, too?
Jeff Rabhan's ranting, seething tantrum is loaded with assumptions and accusations that generalize the experience of every artist to that of the most successful.
Roan challenged Rabhan via Instagram stories to match her donation of $25,000 to struggling dropped artists.
Right message pointed in the wrong direction. The challenge is to other artists, not me.
