Singer Chappell Roan admitted to feeling hurt by the continuous backlash for her controversial comments and behaviour, which were considered offensive by some amid critical acclaim for her music, reported Variety.

In an interview with SZA, the singer confessed that she is more hurt by comments that are directly pointed at her than at her art.

As per Variety, when the singer was asked if she "cared about the backlash" to her being a public figure, Chappel admitted that the constant criticism touched a nerve when it crossed a certain threshold.

"I didn't, until people started hating me for me and not for my art. When it's not about my art anymore, it's like, 'They hate me because I'm Kayleigh (Chappell's birth name), not because they hate the songs that I make.' That's when it changed," said Chappell Roan in a candid chat with SZA as quoted by Variety.

She continued, "When things are taken out of context, people assume so much about you. I didn't realise I'd care so much. When it comes to my art, I'm like, 'You can think whatever you want. You are allowed to hate it with all your guts.' But when it comes to me and my personality, it's like, Damn. Am I the most insufferable person of our generation?" as quoted by Variety.
