Uh Oh! Chrisette Michele & Her fiance is NOT HERE for Spike Lee!
Chrisette Michele has been in the hot seat with the Black community for days now after controversy erupted when it was discovered that she would perform at President Donald Trumpās inauguration ceremony. In the midst of the gargantuan backlash, Michele received a high-profile and public notification from famed director Spike Lee that he would not use her music in his upcoming Netflix project, adding further insult to the injury she was already receiving from her fans. Now, it looks like Michele is not only on the defense but on the offense, as well as sheās posting a scathing response to Lee.
As previously reported, Lee was planning to use Micheleās song āBlack Girl Magicā in his upcoming Netflix series āSheās Gotta Have It.ā However, after he found out that Michele would be performing at Trumpās inauguration, Lee went on Instagram and revealed that he would not use the singerās music because she was performing for Trump.
āGood Morning Folks. I Wuz Sorry To Read That āSistuh Girlā Is Singinā At DTās Inauguration (And To Use His Fav Word-SAD). I Wuz Thinkinā ābout Using Chrisetteās Song- BLACK GIRL MAGIC In My Netflix Series SHEāS GOTTA HAVE ITā¦. NOT ANYMORE. And Datās Da Truth, Ruth,ā Lee wrote.
Well, clearly Michele and her fiancĆ©/manager arenāt happy about Leeās decision because yesterday she reposted a message from her fiancĆ© to Lee in which he writes āfā youā to the filmmaker.
Well, there are definitely no mincing words about this diss.
Sadly, we wish Michele was this publicly angry and upset about Trumpās racist, sexist, homophobic and xenophobic rhetoric, as well as his administrationās plans to strip away policies, resources and rights that would directly affect Black women, LGBT people and pretty much the majority of the people who make up Micheleās shrinking fan base. Perhaps then Lee and the thousands of fans who felt betrayed by her decision to perform at the inauguration would feel like Michele actually supported them and their lives as much as theyāve supported her career before this major let down. But it looks like losing a check from Lee is more infuriating than holding Trump and his administration accountable for their divisive and oppressive actions.
Well what you think of this?
