Chappell Roan, the rising pop sensation known for her hit “HOT TO GO,” is making waves once again — but this time, it’s not for her music. Following a breakout year and multiple Grammy nominations, the 26-year-old has reportedly parted ways with her management team, led by Nick Bobetsky at State of the Art.
The news of the split came through a report from Billboard, which noted that Chappell had ended her working relationship with Bobetsky and his team. However, it’s still unclear whether she has secured new management or is currently navigating her career independently. Updates on her future plans are expected, especially as she prepares for the Grammy Awards, where she’s in the running for some of the top categories.
This big change in her professional life follows a whirlwind year for Chappell, who’s become one of pop music’s most talked-about new faces. Just days before the news broke, she made an appearance at the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles, where she spoke openly with Brandi Carlile in a moderated discussion. During the event, Chappell shared insights about her mental health journey, the impact of her newfound fame, and the choice to perform under a stage name.
While fans were quick to support her decision to part ways with her management, Chappell herself wasn’t thrilled with Billboard’s approach to reporting the split. The magazine’s Instagram post about the news mentioned her Grammy nominations and noted that the State of the Art account didn’t include her in a recent congratulatory post. Chappell responded directly in the comments, simply writing, “Yall suck for this.”
Despite the changes behind the scenes, Chappell’s fans remain excited about her music and career trajectory. Her Grammy nods for record, song, and album of the year, as well as her nomination for best new artist, confirm her status as a major player in today’s pop landscape.
