Chappell Roan Splits With Management

Written by on November 9, 2024

Chappell Roan has split with her management team, sources confirm to Billboard.

The news comes after the breakout star scored her first slate of Grammy nominations, including in all of the Big Four categories. Her 2023 debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, will compete for album of the year while her hit “Good Luck, Babe!” is up for record and song of the year. Roan is also a contender for best new artist.

Roan’s nods were notably left off a congratulatory post shared from the Instagram account for State Of the Art — the company Roan was previously signed to, with Nick Bobetsky as her manager. Bobetsky met Roan in 2018, and as he previously told Billboard, “Her immense talent was clear immediately.”

Bobetsky had a front-row seat as Roan’s career took off and she racked up milestones including her first Billboard Hot 100 top 10 (“Good Luck, Babe!”), a top 5 entry for Midwest Princess on the Billboard 200 and record-breaking festival crowds, among other accomplishments.

Most recently — in addition to her Grammy nominations — Roan made her musical guest debut on Saturday Night Live, where she performed an unreleased country-leaning pop song titled “The Giver.” At her Governors Ball festival set this summer in New York, she performed another unreleased track titled “Subway.” In an August interview with Music Business Worldwide, Bobetsky shared that the artist is “busy writing” new material.

Roan’s rise has had its fair share of frustrations, too. The artist has publicly spoken out about the toxicity of fandoms and “predatory” interactions she has had. In a note posted to Instagram this August, she wrote: “When I’m on stage, when I’m performing, when I’m in drag, when I’m at a work event, when I’m doing press … I am at work. Any other circumstance, I am not in work mode…I don’t agree with the notion that I owe a mutual exchange of energy, time, or attention to people I do not know, do not trust, or who creep me out — just because they’re expressing admiration.”

She then wrote in the caption: “I’m not afraid of the consequences for demanding respect. Just to let you know, every woman is feeling or has felt similar to what I’m experiencing. This isn’t a new situation. If you see me as a b—- or ungrateful or my entire statement upsets you, baby that’s you… you gotta look inward and ask yourself ‘wait why am I so upset by this? Why is a girl expressing her fears and boundaries so infuriating?’ That is all.”
