Boy George has weighed in after Chappell Roan made headlines for confronting paparazzi during her recent trip to Paris.

The 28-year-old songwriter caught attention when she filmed photographers on her phone and called out fans and autograph hunters for crossing her boundaries.

In response, the Culture Club frontman took to X (formerly Twitter), urging the songstress to “cheer up” and “own her fame.”

He wrote, “It's probably not helpful but I have been doing this fame thing for a while and you learn slowly and painfully that you don't get a free pass once you turn yourself into a bird of paradise.”

The Karma Chameleon singer continued, "I watched @ChappellRoan filming the paps in Paris and I laughed because I have kicked off at them many times."

Moreover, he added, “The trick is to own your fame. yes, it's annoying at times but so is being ignored and told your a 'has-been.'...Boundaries are boring. Break them with the magic of kindness!”

Meanwhile, this isn’t the first time the Pink Pony Club singer has confronted photographers. 

During her appearance at Netflix‘s Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour concert documentary red carpet, she demanded a photographer apologize for past behavior.
