Spike Lee Disappointed in Chrisette Michele
The backlash continues for Chrisette Michele. Director Spike Lee says he’s disappointed that the soulful singer is performing at Donald Trump’s inauguration. In fact, he says that he won’t use her music on his new project. Taking to social media, he writes:
Good Morning Folks. 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 Chrisette’s Song- BLACK GIRL MAGIC In My Netflix Series SHE’S GOTTA HAVE IT…. NOT ANYMORE. And Dat’s Da Truth, Ruth.
Questlove also tweeted:
Earlier today, Chrisette Michele addressed the backlash, writing:
My heart is broken for our country, for the hopes of our children, for the fights of those who came before us. I cry at the thought that Black History, American History might be in vain. This country has had great moments. God has shined His light upon us. Today, I hope that Great Moments begin in peaceful & progressive conversation. I am willing to be a bridge. I don’t mind “These Stones”, if they allow me to be a voice for the voiceless.
I am here. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Our lives begin to end, the day we become silent about what matters”. I am here, representing you, because this is what matters.

Yessss Facts
We can’t live on our knees…its time for us to understand our worth and take care of our community…I don’t know what some black people are hearing when they hear this man talk???!!! He said he want to make stop and frisk nation wide…are you kidding me???And you so desperate for money that you’d sing and be present at this inauguration???? His cabinet picks are not liberal minded…They care nothing about black and brown people and all others in between….WHO DON”T SEE THIS????!!!OMG…its just sad…I love Harriet Tubmans quote…I freed a thousand slaves I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.
I hear you!
#ToxicTrumpTeam paid her $750k… I hope that money last her a lifetime!!
I hope she asked for that money upfront.
Hella funnt! But true.
Exactly
Honey Chile, you do not speak for me…. Sorry to tell you but you should have let this one go….. You are not a bridge to anything.. The people have spoken you are just not listening…………….. Self indulgence, I hope its worth it………….SMDH!!
#FACTS
You are the bridge ? Get over yourself. #GirlBye #BoycottChrisette
Unless you are singing for free, your statement is utterl Bullshit! Enjoy cooning for your new massa.
Omarosa still Takes the Gold in THAT sport, IMO!
Steve Harvey helped prop up her career when know one knew her name. She is paying a debt…
He didn’t do a very good job because I couldn’t tell you one song of hers. I’ve heard the name, but that’s about it.
Biotch, you’re the entertainment!
I’m available for the movie
It’s pathetic and disgusting how people in a free country are tar and feathering those who choose to not let bullies, like Spike Lee and you all commenting on here, deter them from doing what is right for unity and this country. It takes strength to stand up to these BULLIES.
..kinda like the strength President Obama displayed when Donald Dump promulgated the birther lie and still btw hasn’t produced his taxes..?? Dump wants to elevate and patronize African American entertainers and athletes all while denigrating and demeaning the only African American President (which POTUS should be the gold standard for our people and the American dream for that matter btw) we / this counrty has ever had. Bye Felisha …..
Exactly!!! Have several seats Carmen…FOH
She should charge enough for 2 lifetimes!. She will never make another cent from those who made her famous. There are many people with great voices who never made. It’s the fans that make them stars; sadly too many forget where they come from. She has a right to perform for whomever she pleases. The fans have the right of rejection!:They stand with those who stand with them.
She just put a huge roadblock in her career if Spike Lee is turning his back on her. Hope it’s worth it to her :(
I Don’t even know her name so let her betray her people because she’s Going to be singing for trum(#notmypresident) and being ridiculed because she’s Doing this for herself only and Quoting The Great Dr. Martin Luther King this woman is Pathetic
I am disappointed in black women for throwing Chrisette Michelle to the wolves. I understand why black men are hating on her. They don’t have any loyalty anyways. But my black sisters we are all we have. No one gives a damn about black women and we are helping to anahilate one of our own. You Black Mammy Mules make me sick.
2duv4luv you sound like a woman scorn.unless you’ve dealt with every black man in the world your statement is worthless when it comes to black men.
Dumbass bullshyt comment. Take your racist ass back to the swamp!
And why should we be loyal to women like you.
You’re not addressing a God. Damn. Thing. All you’re doing is cooning.
If this is true, she should charge enough for 2 lifetimes!. She will never make another cent from those who made her famous. There are many people with great voices who never made. It’s the fans that make them stars; sadly too many forget where they come from. She has a right to perform for whomever she pleases. The fans have the right of rejection!:They stand with those who stand with them.
HARPO WHO THIS GIRL?
???
AS WE AS BLACK PEOPLE COME TOGETHER WE ARE A FORCE TO BE RECKON WITH FROM ALL DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE GLOBE. I AM A BLACK CARIBBEAN.
Gtfoh “twisted sistuh”…
Sorry at 69 and was part of the fight, we don’t need you to bridge anything, you sold out . And you in no way are of the Same cloth as Martin Luther King. You his like a coward to avoid people knowing. The only bridge you are building is paved with gold. Straight in your pocket
Girl what is wrong with you first off you don’t represent me cause I wouldn’t be singing for his sorry ass no matter how much I was being paid,he disrespects people and he doesn’t care about black people but as long as he can fool the few that he does he thinks that will make the rest of us blacks like him,hell you know a racist when you see one..
Someone gave her very bad advice.
Yup.Bryan they did. Smh
Chrisette Michele I love you sistuh,but why please tell me WHY!
I’m not sure who she thinks she is kidding, herself most likely. You are free to do this young lady but you are not free from the consequences of this decision and I fear it will be a huge consequence.
Thanks Chrisette for going forth. Many people do not understand, however you are shining as a light. We have work to do! There are many that know what to say, however their actions are contrary to there good sounding words. There are many in Congress that have been there for years, however they have allowed injustice to prevail. It is time to make a difference – it is imperative that we help write the agenda and then take action to truly make a difference. Chrisette, continue to share your talent in love – there will be other doors that will open for you.
He doesn’t even know who you are….He needs people to perform and there are no available “A” listers…or “B” listers.
Why is it that Black people always find a way to stay divided and don’t even realize that the black people are the ones doing the dividing? Not to mention black people are the ones constantly putting each other down, especially if there’s a difference in opinion; we are dividing ourselves. Like Michael Jackson said, “take a look at the man in the mirror, asking him to change his ways.” I bet someone reading this is saying or thinking, well he’s not a good example, he wanted to be white ?????. Stop blaming others for what you are doing to yourself.
It’s unfortunate that you’re claiming to be a voice for us all when you’re not even that relevant to begin with . As if reality tv wasn’t a mess you continue the debacle by performing for the inauguration for people who are clueless to who you are and isn’t a fan of your music any way. Miss me with that one Ms Michele
:( right on Spike…
She done turned COON
She’s delusional, a sell out, and a coon, end of story.
Spike Lee and all the comments sum up perfectly crabs in a barrel analogy. No wonder why blacks go no where a lot of you are clearly so stupid
Black peoples worse enemy in 2017 is other black people. I’m talking about these Boule Secret Society niggas like Spike Lee and T.I who try to tell us how we should to think politically, meanwhile they promote degenerate music to our youths living the rich life. Wikileaks exposed Hillary and Democrats to be Satanic pedophiles, yet Jay Z and Beyonce endorses her. Listen, you sell out niggas who are with this secret society bull shit are going to be exposed in these next 4 years understand that.
