During the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, Chappell Roan delivered a speech after winning āBest New Artistā advocating for labels to provided health benefits and livable wage for artists.
I told myself if I ever won a Grammy and I got to stand up here in front of the most powerful people in music, I would demand that labels and the industry profiting millions of dollars off of artists would offer a livable wage and healthcare, especially to developing artists.
Because I got signed so young, I got signed as a minor, and when I got dropped I had zero job experience under my belt, and like most people, I had a difficult time finding a job in the pandemic and could not afford health insurance. It was so devastating to feel so committed to my art and feel so betrayed by the system and so dehumanized to not have healthcare. And if my label would have prioritized artistsā health I would have been provided care by a company I was giving everything to. So record labels need to treat their artists as valuable employees with a livable wage and health insurance protection. Labels, we got you, but do you got us?

Many suspect that Hanni supports Chappellās message for labels to support their artists as Hanni attended a hearing regardingĀ HYBEās alleged mistreatment of NewJeans and workplace bullying (though the case was eventually closed).
Many showed support for her and drew parallels between Chappellās speech and NewJeansā situation.
However, some netizens found her situation very different from Chappell Roanās speech who advocated for developing artistsā rights and livable wages.
Regardless, Hanni shows support for Chappell and developing artists.
