Chappell Roan recently experienced a viral moment that involved photographers and fans. As fans will recall, clad in a headscarf, Roan made headlines on March 10 after sharing a video in which she spoke about feeling “disregarded as a human” during an encounter with a group of photographers and individuals claiming to be fans. In response to this, fellow musician Kahan extended his support to Roan by weighing in on the situation through a series of Instagram Stories that have since expired. According to Billboard, the crooner began by reposting the outlet’s coverage of the incident and wrote, “Maybe they should just, you know, leave her alone?” He further criticized individuals who claim to be fans while following celebrities around, adding, “Also, those dudes saying ‘I’m a huge fan’ and following her around are scalpers and are just as bad as the paparazzi.” He remarked, “F*** em all.”

Later, Kahan posted a clip elaborating on his stance and why he believes such encounters can be misleading. He noted, “These people literally find out where you’re staying, where you’re flying in to, where your team, family, or whoever is staying—they are clearly not your fans. They just sit outside places so they can try to guilt you into signing stuff so they can sell it.”
By expressing his thoughts in this way, Kahan not only offered support to Roan but also shed light on the true nature of these so-called "fans" who often cross boundaries and infringe on celebrities' privacy. His words resonated with many who share similar sentiments towards the behavior of these individuals.
