As of January 20, Chrisette Michele has received nothing but backlash from both her fans and family. She was warned and asked by her fellow artists to decline the opportunity.
The singer was reportedly supposed to receive 750k for her performance, but afterwards she was not able to have a proper meeting with America’s newfound president. In my personal opinion I do not believe she should have received as much backlash as she did because as we all know she is a D list celebrity who may or may not be in need of the funds. Also this performance has boosted her publicity despite allegations of her family disowning her.
Chrisette Michelle has not spoken to some of her family in years, but once they got wind of her performance it only solidified their reasons of keeping her out of touch in family affairs. I also believe that with her newfound publicity that she can use this platform to try to be a mediator between those enraged by the presidents’ election and those that actually want to give Donald trump a chance. Famous Director Spike Lee took to Instagram and said this “ I wuz sorry to read that “Sistuh Girl” is singin’ at DT’s inauguration(and to use his fav word. Sad). I wuz thinkin’ bout using chrisettes’s song Black Girl Magic in my Netflix Series She’s Gotta have It….Not Anymore. And Dat’s Da Truth Ruth” this in my opinion was to much spike lee did not have to publicize himself not chrisettes song.
In a previous interview with the breakfast club, Chrisette addressed the situation stating that she was unaware that her song was going to be featured in the new series. I feel that since America is basically disowning her that her family should be a support system for the artist instead of shaming her for the decision.
If your family does not support u and your decisions the least that they can do is still treat you like family. This is why politics should not be discussed at family functions because no two people will share the same views.
No matter what your family should never turn their back on you because of a political issue no matter how much they disagree family comes first despite your views. This shows that even your family can turn their back on you for the smallest of reasons just to have a legitimate excuse to not communicate with you anymore.
I think her family should basically apologize and try to reconcile with her because when this all boils down it was nothing but a business.
Chrisette Michelle was not a trump supporter in any way shape or form she was just a musician who was slowly disappearing in the industry this performance should not have been blown out of proportion like it was by the American people.
