Chappell wrote online, “Due to scheduling conflicts, I have had to make the extremely hard decision to cancel my Paris and Amsterdam shows. I have rescheduled my Berlin show to 23 September. I am so sorry & very disappointed 🙁 I promise I will be back. I’m heartbroken 💔 thank you for understanding.”

Fans were shocked and devastated by Chappell’s announcement, especially since many had booked non-refundable hotels and transport to attend.

Chappel’s sudden cancellation of her shows also sparked unverified speculation that she’d 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 “this shit is awesome,” several fans branded the singer “disrespectful” for “pretending” that everything was “normal” amid the backlash.

“Pretending like everything is normal after fucking over thousands of your fans is so cool!” one comment read. “Are you joking? You’re not going to address what you’ve done?… People were literally on their way across countries to watch you,” said another.

Eventually, Chappell took to the comments herself to apologize.
