While the singer was posing for photos, she walked and pointed her finger towards a certain photographer. “You were so disrespectful to me at the Grammys,” Chappell said.

The singer then adamantly demanded an apology. “You yelled at me at the Grammy party. Yes, I remember. You were so rude to me. And I deserve an apology for that. You need to apologize to me,” she asserted.

This was not the first time that an incident like this occurred to Chappell. During the 2024 VMAs, the singer also confronted another photographer who told her to “shut the f*ck up.” Chappell immediately went to him, pointed her finger, and exclaimed, “No, you shut the f*ck up! Not me.”

In her past statements and interviews, Chappell had repeatedly expressed how important boundaries were for her.

“I chose this career path because I love music and art and honoring my inner child. I do not accept harassment of any kind because I chose this path, nor do I deserve it,” she shared in an Instagram post when first addressing the challenges of her rising fame as an emerging artist.

Beyoncé made an appearance at Kamala Harris’ reproductive health rally in her hometown of Houston, Texas.

“I’m not here as a celebrity or politician, I am here as a mother,” she remarked. “A mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in, a world where we have the freedom to control our bodies, a world where we're not divided.”

The singer shared the stage with former Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland to introduce Harris, and they addressed her as “the next president of the United States.”

“It’s time for America to sing a new song. Our voices sing a chorus of unity. They sing a song of dignity and opportunity. Are you all ready to add your voice to the new American song?” Beyonce asked the audience.

The pop icon also left the crowd with a call to action. “Imagine our daughters growing up seeing what's possible with no ceilings, no limitations," she urged. "We must vote, and we need you.”
