Chappel Roan responds to backlash for cancelling her concerts in Europe
Earlier this week Chappel Roan cancelled her Paris and Amsterdam concerts, and rescheduled the Berlin concert due to scheduling conflicts (allegedly to perform at the VMAs).
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. pic.twitter.com/nlEL2YhB2X

While some fans understood her decision, many didn't.
i love chappell but cancelling a show 5 days before because of ‘scheduling’ conflicts when the rumour had been going around for weeks already is kinda shitty https://t.co/XVYHAbOc1L

i‘m sorry but recently so many artists have been cancelling shows (especially in europe) „due to scheduling conflicts“ WAY TOO CLOSE to the tours starting and this shouldn‘t be allowed? idc if they have tour insurance or whatever you made a commitment to the tour first

this being the same person that put out the statement about fans coming up to her is kind of crazy, like from an outside perspective it really is looking like she wants the fame, money and status but doesn’t care about the fans🥲

Roan has now responded on her Instagram, saying: "I'm very sorry :,( I explained why I canceled and I know it sucks but hopefully ppl can understand <3 I promise I will b back xoxo"
