Noah Kahan Backs Chappell Roan After Photographer Incident

Noah Kahan has stuck up for Chappell Roan after the latter went viral this week due to an altercation with photographers.

Roan made headlines following an encounter with some aggressive photographers in Paris, France, which led her to turn the camera on them as she tried to go to dinner.

The pop star started recording the intrusive photographers, saying in the video, “I’m just trying to go to dinner, and I’ve asked these people several times to get away from me.”

“All of you, I’m asking you kindly to please leave me alone and stop following me and harassing me. No, I’m not gonna sign. This is what it’s like, if you were wondering how it is," she added in the video.

Despite some backlash for the move across social media, Kahan was firmly in Roan's corner.

As per Rolling Stone, he posted an Instagram screenshot of an article recounting the incident, writing, “Maybe they should just leave her alone? Also those dudes saying, ‘I’m a huge fan,’ following her around are scalpers and are as bad as the paparazzi. Fuck ’em all.”

Kahan followed that up with a video voicing his support.

“These people literally find out where you’re staying, where you’re flying into, where your team, family, whoever is staying, and they are clearly not your fans,” he said in the video. “They just sit outside places and try to guilt you into signing shit so they can sell it, and they trick people like you who are just watching the video and don’t know what’s going on into thinking that someone is being rude to their fans when really they’re just manipulating you.”

He continued: “They’re scummy, they’re manipulative, they’re parasitic, and, yeah, fuck ‘em.”

In other Kahan news, the US singer-songwriter is currently working on his new album, The Great Divide, which is expected for release next month.
