| Chrisette Michele upset her fans left her after she performed for Donald Trump. |
Fans turned away from R&B singer Chrisette Michele after she performed for Donald J. Trump. Now she regrets the moment and hopes her fans would embrace her music once again.
But now the singer tells the Washington Post in a recent interview that she is trying her hardest to make a comeback…to varying results.
Her performance was met with backlash on social media, prompting Michele to respond via an open letter on Twitter, stating that she had intended her performance to serve as a bridge between Trump supporters and opponents.
Author Aliya S. King published a response to the singer's letter on BET, expressing disappointment with Michele's choice to perform and felt like her letter was a "cop-out". Michele was initially supposed to perform at the Make America Great Again! Welcome Celebration held the day prior to the inauguration, but did not perform and instead performed at one of the inaugural balls the following day.
In response to her performing, Spike Lee removed Michele's song “Black Girl Magic” from his upcoming Netflix series She’s Gotta Have It.
“While I felt like people took so much away from me in those two years, I’m more grateful for finally having time to look at the last 12” years, since she released her first album, Michele told the Post. “And I think that is the bright side. … I want people to know that it’s okay to expect more from me.”
The musician has since apologized for her performance and regretted doing it in the first place.
