The Hot to Go! singer previously shed light on her issues with the Biden-Harris administration during her performance at Gov Ball earlier this year.

While on stage, Chappell revealed she had rejected an invitation to perform at the White House's Pride event due to the president's continued backing of Israel's assault on Gaza.

One fan wrote, "She's right. There are problems on both sides. I'm still deciding if I want to vote."

"Chappell openly supports Palestine. It would be surprising if she endorsed candidates who openly praise Israel and their 'right to defend itself,'" another said.

Regardless of what people may assume from her latest remarks, Chappell seems to be focused on addressing issues in a more streamlined way – with the hopes of a faster resolution.
