Charli XCX and Noah Kahan joined Chappell Roan in making significant donations to help support artists struggling with healthcare expenses. During Roan’s Best New Artist acceptance speech at the 2025 Grammy Awards, she called out the lack of healthcare coverage for artists dropped by record labels. “If my label would have prioritized artists’ health, I could have been provided care by a company I was giving everything to,” Roan said. Former A&R executive Jeff Rabhan called Roan “wildly misinformed” in an op-ed for The Hollywood Reporter, causing Roan to respond by donating $25,000 towards healthcare for struggling artists while challenging him to match it. “Mr. Rabhan, I love how in the article you said ‘put your money where your mouth is,” Roan wrote. “Let’s link and build together and see if you can do the same.” Charli and Kahan also pledged to match Roan’s $25,000 contribution. “Your speech at the grammys was inspiring and thoughtful and from a genuine place of care. happy to help get the ball rolling too,” Charli wrote in her Instagram story.
