Donald Trump, the deeply divisive and KKK-approved President-elect, has found a friend and supporter in the R&B singer Chrisette Michele.
Details below…
Unable to secure any A-List performers to honour him at his inauguration on the 20th, Trump has enlisted the services of Ms. Michele who has agreed to endorse his values by performing on the night.
The New York Daily News reports:
We’re told that the deal was reached a week ago, but has been kept “a big secret” because Michelle’s camp feared the seven days of criticism that would surely lead up the the divisive President-elect’s big day. They became especially concerned when Jennifer Holliday, who’d committed to performing for PEOTUS last week, withdrew amidst heavy pressure on Monday, citing “a lapse of judgment.
The publication adds that she was called on to perform at the event alongside ‘Intentional’ with singers Travis Greene, Jonathan McReynolds, and Tye Tribbett.
Alas, Greene, McReynolds and Tribbett rejected the offer as Michele agreed to go it alone with an R&B set.
Catch her in action when the event kicks off on January 20th.

Her career is already overcriying lol
Career s****** for a career already on life support. Chile…
LMAAAAAOOOOO??????
LOL Hopefully she will back out of performing or cancel at the last minute.
See not everyone or all celebs had access to the white house during the Obama’s . these might be a chance for most celebs who didnt dine and wine with at the white house.
they only celeb that will perform at this event and still have a career is Kanye West.
Kanye is not performing though. Why bring him up?
Ugly c*** head ass b**** I should shove my foot so far up her flop ass that she’s going to need a tow truck to remove it.
F*** this b****
SMH. Well good luck dealing with the aftermath hon.
Has she not seen the backlash the other artists have received for accepting this proposal? Unless she has thick skin she is one dumb chick.
Her performance isn’t an endorsement! The election and race are over. Her endorsement was her vote of which I’m sure you have no idea. Don’t shame her for deciding to perform for America. Trump isn’t a king and this isn’t a coronation/private event. This is a formal public event…people are ridiculous! Grow the f’k up!
She didn’t ” endorse ” s*** let her get payed. We all need money. Bills are always do.
All of that is worth supporting a president who has done nothing but disrespect people of color? Hell nah! Thats some c*** s***
She would get more money if she did not perform for Trump though. Your comment is idiotic to me.
youre comment is idiotic. That does not mean she is a trump supporter and she will def get paid jackass. trump has mad money. smfh!!! I voted Clinton. This is business!!!!!
@therealist
That’s exactly what it means dumb ass
@therealist my comment is very logical and makes perfect sense. Don’t be mad that my comment went over your little head. Chrisette Michelle makes money as an independent artist primarily from black women, some black men (straight and gay), and from a small amount of other races. Any “business” person knows that you do not bite the hand that feeds you. Trump’s team is playing her / using her out of desperation. No offence to Ms. Michelle, but if you compare the star power of artists that performed for Obama and Bush with the star power of artists willing to perform for Trump it is obvious they were looking for any black artist holding on to their last 15 minutes of fame to perform at his inauguration. Trump would be better off having choirs, military members, and a couple country artists perform at his inauguration and keeping the inauguration short.
Still have Chrisette’s first CD when she was authentic, mad pretty and singing ’bout “If I Had My Way.” Who the hell turnt her out? I no longer know her…
That’s awful.
Does she not realize majority of the folks that elected him would rather see her and other minorities deported out of the US? Whatevs.. I can recall she was insufferable on R&B Divas a few years back. Not surprised her career is in the toilet… quite literally in a few days lol
His following doesn’t like black people. So why would they sit through an r and b set full of songs by a black woman?
She’s not doing a concert
Then what is she doing?
She actually does have an upcoming concert in February…or at least she did before all of this lol
She’s a dumb lady like why? Sway why?
Donald trump don’t even like minority’s.
She should feel so bad but that’s the sell out that some black ppl have.
I hope she gets laughed at. She’s lame
Maybe she thinks she’ll find an envelope under her seat at the inauguration with her career in it.
I’ll Give her an envelope with some anthrax in it and see how she likes it.
Don’t do it
This is sad because I actually like her music. Chrisette is an amazing vocalist but I can’t stand behind her decision to perform. Those conservative republicans arent the ones supporting the little career that she has left, WE ARE!
I’m sure you haven’t purchased any of her albums. Sit.
B**** done act like you know me. It cost $0.00 to stay in ya lane and mind YOUR OWN F****** BUSINESS!
*dont
Questlove said that he’d pay her if she doesn’t perform. If Christie is struggle that much then she should really take up his offer
…Just off the top of your head, what album did you buy. Streams don’t count, actual digital or physical copies.
That Part!!! lmao
Why are you always so worried about what the next b**** is doing ?
Is being upset that some one who is getting paid to song at an event that you’re not even invited to NOT worrying what the next b**** is doing? Like seriously when have you took time out of your day and money out of your to support her? Stop taking your frustrations with Trump out on her. Her bills are still due at the end and begining of every month and since her videos struggle to reach 1 million views, I know damn well she ain’t making money from music. It’s not like she’s going to lose part of her paying fans cause those are few, it’s the non paying fans with the problem and you b****** have THE NERVE!
B**** you don’t know what I’ve spent my money on. So stay in your f****** place! I can tell you one thing, those conservatives that she’s jucking and juiving for aren’t spending coins on her music. That’s for damn sure. The people who have supported her throughout are the ones that’s she’s currently disappointing the most. B****** like you p*** me tf! No amount of my is worth disrespecting your own people, your name, and your dignity. NONE!
Boy shut the hell up, you still haven’t said how you supported her in any kind of way. She’s supposed to pass up that money for ppl who don’t give a damn if her lights is paid or not? Do you really think this will hurt her already poor album sales? Why did pissed you, cause you’re running up and down the comments talking out your ass and I asked you a legit questions? You ain’t brought s*** with her name, shut the f*** and don’t watch! SIMPLE!
Why are you fuming up and down my reply section like you just smoked 80 pipes of crack? Lol get it together h**. Idc if you want an explanation your insignificant ass is not getting one ?
Nobody but black ppl buy her music! She can say goodbye to a huge chunk of her support!
Not really there are some of us white folks that used to buy her music. Not anymore though.
It’s her choice so stop outcasting people who openly support him. He’s our next president so deal with it.
F*** that you buck dancing Uncle Tom
I’ll be that individual whose not offended by the opinions of others who have notting better to do but to bully public figures who are pro Trump or who are in agreement in working through this process. But again I forget we’re dealing with a society that’s against freedom of choice especially when it conflicts with your poor values and beliefs.
Whatevs…For every action there’s a reaction. She’s free to express herself however she pleases. She just needs to be prepared for the backlash that is going to come along with it. I hope the money is worth it!
@real20 NO, you stop being delusional. Just b/c this hateful, idiotic (I mean truly dumb, can barely speak coherently) and uneducated billionaire p**** grabber was elected president by the rednecks of the USA doesn’t mean all is now forgiven. Some of us will never forget everything he represented and stated in the 2016 campaign. That doesn’t go away just because he managed to use hate and fear of marginalized groups to become president. No decent person is here for it, except you, of course.
FYI: Trump did not receive the most votes, Hillary did. The biggest margin in history, in fact. He just managed to sweep the redneck south and not enough civilized folk in those states came out to stop the madness.
Your coming across as a racist and confused because we all know that Hillary was no saint but a liar that America didn’t want. A puppet controlled by the lobbyist who went as far as using celebrities as scapegoats to get votes. Furthermore it’s our current situation so get on board or get left behind.
Idiot. White folks don’t have the power to singularly put any president in office anymore. Much as it may hurt clowns like you to reconcile, Trump HAS minority support. He got 10% of the black vote, 30% of Hispanics and 50% of women. White men have have pulled him to the finish line, but it was the “other” that pushed him over it. And Hillary only won the “popular” vote because she won the states of California and New York. Trump won 30 states to her 20. And 5 of Trump’s winning states voted for Obama last time. Trump beat Hillary in states she was supposed to win and painted damn near the whole US red; in the meantime Hillary didn’t flip any red state to blue. Most of the COUNTRY voted for him over her. You mad? Good. I’ll be watching the inauguration tomorrow. Can’t wait until Trump takes over. Obama’s America is done and I’m glad.
He is not our president. He bought the election with help from Putin. Keep your head buried in the sand all you want, won’t change the facts. America doesn’t have a president anymore after Friday.
Really, Putin? 😆 That’s funny. I remember going to the polls on November 8th and voting for Trump, without a single incentive from Putin. But it’s cool, you go ahead and put this on Putin if that delusional rationalization is easier to cope with than the reality that it was your neighbors and co-workers (assuming you even have a job) who was actually responsible for Trump’s win. Oh, and to twist the knife a little deeper…yeah, I like Trump, but I REALLY enjoyed voting against people like you. You were more a motivating factor than the man himself! 😈
Wow. I loved her music, regardless of her political leanings (her choice), why would you end your career this way and offend the entire buying public who have supported your career to date? Do broadway, model, move into Acting Chrisette – not this. I’d love to hear from her mouth her motivation for this but I fear no one will care – they’ll just hate her forever.
You sound dumb af. If you like her music like her music. That has nothing to do with who she performs for or the choices that she makes. That’s a grown ass woman. I didn’t vote trump and I like chrisette and that will def not stop me from listening to her because she is vocally inclined. You can’t control her!!! Have a f****** seat. fr fr. Freedom of speech and choice and its business.
And yet it’s people like you that are prepared to ‘ Let it slide’ because it’s ‘Business’ that stand for nothing and fall for everything. No minority – given his record of not supporting them. – should be involved in this ceremony as a stand against his views on our communities. So before you start projecting the fact that you would obviously sell your soul for money under the pretence that it’s ‘business’ because you’re thirsty for coins an can’t get it the honest way – remember – this is my stand not to support people who are involved in any event that celebrates this man. Now sit.
I think this is ridiculous to write these kind of post. This is a J O B!
Betraying her own people.
Like white people do all the time?
But we don’t really have a “community”….To respect or be faithful unlike minorities.
This issue doesn’t concern you
I love you too Tyler ?
The feelings aren’t mutual ?
C’mon man, everybody loves me, but this is between me and you, so, let your ❤️ speak.
Everyone loves you ? I’m sure you don’t actually believe that haha ??
They love me, I’m adorable ?
Tell that boy bye!
Lmao ?
Further proving she has one of the worst personalities in the business…
Maybe the racist Trump supporters will buy her music and say “hey I’m not racist, I listen to Chrissette Michelle”. Probably what she is hoping for
I’m sure you haven’t purchased any of her albums. Sit.
And which ones did you purchase? Did you even know who she was before today?
Slay Chrisette! F*** all of these impoverished, uneducated, ghetto baby mama bullies! Their opinions don’t translate into coins so f*** em all! #MakeAmericaGreatAgain
All money isn’t good money dumb f***! Have fun watching the KLANauguration
Exactly why you don’t have any, broke welfare b****.
Takes one to know one trailer park trash
I’m sure you haven’t purchased any of her albums, can’t name one song she sings, or even heard of her before today. Sit.
And neither can you Beyoncé obsessed f*** on here.?
Death @Shanika Trump
This move is not a good look but to each their own.
I hope she doesn’t lose her backbone and performs tomorrow. If you like her, I hope it’s b/c of her music.
.
I’m disappointed that Jennifer Hudson isn’t performing after Trump let her and her sister have a free suite in Chicago Trump Towers for many months after her mother, brother, and nephew were murdered.
That’s because she’s no longer newsworthy, so Trump can’t use her for media exposure anymore. Trump only uses folks who fit his agenda of brainless mediawh0ring. Chrisette is just the latest s**** to sign up for display in the market.
Bi#@h ain’t got nothing to lose careers been stone cold for yrs now
I mean…it’s not like anyone is buying her music anyway. She needs to book any stage she can get.
You guys gonna talk about Hillary Clinton actually being mentored by KKK recruiter, Robert Byrd, or just gonna focus on who the KKK “endorse” even when they’re paid dust by Trump?
Is it silly of me to think politically educated people ran this page?
There’s no point in these performers backing out after the fact, the damage was already done when they signed on the dotted line and put a pay check and some increased infamy above morals tbh. I wish her the best..,
If the “black community” supported her, she would at least be on Monica or Kelly’s level. She not even played on the same stations as the ppl in her generation, you hear her songs on the old school and “throw back” station with Bobby Womack, Pattie & Aretha. Where was the “black community” support when she went against her own sound and put out ratchet music like “Unbreakable”? Ppl have bills and other obligations, and Trump is probably paying out the ass to have ANYBODY sing. Personally, this won’t effect if I support her or not, political views have nothing to do with if you’re purchasing a song you like or not, witch no one supports her any way. The same ppl that are pissed don’t know a hand full of her songs that AREN’T singles so is you’re issue with her or Trump?
That part!!!!
Just performing doesn’t mean she supports him.
By being a part of that inauguration she actually is showing her support…
Why haven’t they asked any white singers yet? You mean to tell me there’s no white gospel singers jumping at this opportunity?
They’re choosing black people on purpose. Its all a ploy
celine dion declined as well. where have you been?
At work.
Why the f*** are Americans caring about who’s performing at an inauguration? Are y’all really that obsessed with musicians being politicians and role models?
Let that girl get her check…that’s probably the only reason she did in the first place…you know..that’s how a musician makes money…by PERFORMING.
Doesn’t mean she supports his politics wtf
It’s not that we care who’s performing… It’s just that so many prominent artists are turning down the offer, and that’s pretty amusing considering what a terrible man he is.
@Beyonnaise, Don’t know if you’re American but if you have not noticed the media almost has full control of it’s people. It’s almost scary, btw I fully agree with your comment!
Looks like she took the gun and killed her own career. Glad I never brought her records. Oh well bye b****
I’m so glad I didn’t buy a ticket to her upcoming show near me. Performing for this man is like standing with Bull Connor. Chrisette will get no money or support from me.
You weren’t going to ever support her anyway. You people kill me trying to be self-righteous with her. Before this announcement, how many coins did you spend on her? How many albums/tickets of hers did you buy? Probably none. But you have the audacity to scream “sell out” and act like she’s betraying you by accepting a paying gig. STFD. She couldn’t depend of any of you silly ass buffoons beforehand to have her back, so you don’t get to influence her moves. She owes you no allegiance. If you don’t like that she’s performing at the inauguration, that’s your problem. Just go back to doing what you were doing before in regards to her: nothing.
I will continue to support her cause I like her music. If she wants to sing then let her sing. Only God can judge and the people who are speaking evil on her will receive some type of karma.. Trunp will receive his karma as well .
You fucktards need to stop bullying people yall no better than Trump himself wackasses
She will have to do a country music album after this one. She needs attention that much. Now I got to go listen to her music, if it’s soul then imma be mad. If it’s a hot mess, then I’m clowin to the end. Her fans got her gassed out. She has nobody, a relative somebody to look out for her best interest? This generation will do anything for the sake of coins and be on the wrong side of history. I hope she cancelled it or just bow out gracefully.
Sad.im black and to see blacks giving hatred the same way obama got it his whole term digust me.give the damn man a chance hes the president nothing gone change that.people cant be satisfied for shyt. Youll know damn well if he offered youll alot of money youll would perform too.
Are u seriously comparing that racist to Obama? You deserve to be jumped
……..GO TRUMP…… F*** YALL. AND HILLARY
It ain’t any different than your faves performing for Gaddafi and/or other dictators.
#hypocrites
First off, what’s with her edges in that pic? I’m not gonna lie, I never cared for Chrisette or her music so it’s not like I’m gonna withdraw my result or anything. However, idg how she’d tank her already struggling career like this. Bills don’t pay themselves so yeah. Tbh, I just don’t give a s***. That whole election period has me drained.
I think youre all scared the Donald will actually get stuff done. He already has made deals to get Americans jobs. You all want him to fail and be a laughing stock. I bet he will do more for America in 2 years that the last one did in 8 years.
No amount of coin is worth selling yourself to the devil for. She a flop anyways!!!
Random thought… seems to me that the R&B singers/ gospel singers are mad the urban community doesn’t support their music in abundance… however white America will only use you national anthems/ covers sweetie!!! Won’t support this chipmunk anymore. Utterly disgusted! Fantasia black ass better not be no where in attendance.
Trump haters are seething and I love it!
Well, you’ll love h3ll. He’ll thank you for so much worship of others & the seething of hate. When it gets real, don’t beg for another chance like Amy Winehouse is doing when it’s too late.
Unfortunately she needs the attention. Her career has been dead for awhile now.
Guessing she making big money for her career
