At the Austin City Limits Music Festival, Chappell took a moment to publicly reminisce about a beef with her former theater teacher, unleashing a tirade of expletives that would make a sailor blush.
“I dedicate this song to my f—g theater teacher… who kicked me out, b—h! I’m here!” she screamed during the My Kink Is Karma intro. Has the song, originally dedicated to her ex, expanded to include others who have wronged her?
Chappell isn’t new to controversial statements: in the last months she has flipped off a journalist and called out her fans for concert behavior in a TikTok rant. Most recently she angered much of her fanbase by refusing to publicly endorse presidential candidate Kamala Harris. Each of these incidents set off a media storm that brough her even more fame.
Is the pop’s new rising star simply seeking attention, or is she genuinely trying to make a statement? Whatever the case, Chappell’s talent and antics have made her a must-see act.
