Chappell Roan called out record labels for failing to provide liveable wages or healthcare coverage to their artists, and detailed her own experience of struggling to deal with with her mental health after being dropped by Atlantic Records in 2020. Former A&R Executive wrote an op-ed on The Hollywood Reporter, criticising her speech.

"Mr. Rabhan, I love how in the article you said ‘put your money where your mouth is,’" Roan wrote in response to this. "Genius !!! Let’s link and build together and see if you can do the same." she then said that she would be donating $25k to help support "dropped" artists and asked if Rabhan would be willing to do the same.

Following both Chappell Roan’s and Noah Kahan’s $25k donation to struggling artists, Charli XCX has done the same.

Following this, Noah Kahan said that he would be matching Chappell Roan's donation. "Hey @chappellroan, I’m going to match your 25K to support artist’s access to healthcare. I’m inspired by you. Happy to help get the ball rolling. Money where mouth is!"

Charli XCX is now the latest artist to match Chappell Roan and Noah Kahan. "hey @chappellroan i am going to match your 25k to support artists’ access to healthcare. i saw @noahkahanmusic say that he would do the same and so i thought i’d follow suit. your speech at the grammys was inspiring and thoughtful and from a genuine place of care. happy to help get the ball rolling too. money where mouth is xx," she wrote.
