It’s been nearly 5 years since Chrisette Michele endured a swift and seismic backlash for seemingly endorsing polarizing Donald Trump by singing at his presidential inauguration. Though she made clear her intention was to “be a bridge” between his supporters and detractors, the only bridge she traveled was that straight to “cancelledville.”

Just two months ago she took to the net to openly admit the performance was ‘the wrong thing to do,’ but the admission also came with the question of why her cancellation endures while other high profile figures who have openly endorsed Trump continue to thrive.

The backlash was brisk and big, with the MC going on to be dropped from a plethora of festivals, axed from brand partnerships, and condemned by many of his contemporaries.

His problematic attempts at apologizing only served to exacerbate the matter.

Now, however, it looks like he’s attempting – in a more committed manner – to do the right thing.
