Chappelâs sudden cancellation of her shows also sparked unverified speculation that sheâd instead chosen to attend rehearsals for the MTV Video Music Awards, which she will be performing at next week.
Well, this weekend, Chappell addressed the outrage herself. After sharing a carousel of selfies to her Instagram page captioned âthis shit is awesome,â several fans branded the singer âdisrespectfulâ for âpretendingâ that everything was ânormalâ amid the backlash.
âPretending like everything is normal after fucking over thousands of your fans is so cool!â one comment read. âAre you joking? Youâre not going to address what youâve done?⊠People were literally on their way across countries to watch you,â said another.
Eventually, Chappell took to the comments herself to apologize.
