Scribbled in history books for some good and not-so-good reasons, 2017 brought with it some of modern music’s most memorable moments. Now, as the year draws to a close, TGJ is reflecting on our favorite moments that rocked – and to some degree reshaped – the Urban and Pop musical landscape as we know it.
Next, we reflect on the celebrities who were canceled by the Black community for supporting President Trump:
Omarosa is on her way out of The White House.
More on the departure of the avid Donald Trump advocate after the jump…
“They dropped me.”
These are the words of Chrisette Michele, who has announced that she’s been let go by her record label – just days after releasing a new single.
Doing away with the silence most artists greet said news with, she took to social media to not only reveal her predicament, but to vent about it too.
And let’s just say that she’s making a direct correlation with the backlash she received for performing at Donald Trump‘s inauguration.
Her words below…
Chrisette Michele has taken to ‘The Breakfast Club’ to explain why she felt compelled to endorse President Donald Trump by performing at his inauguration.
Still under fire for performing for him after remarks he made about people of colour, those with disabilities and women, Michele hoped to throw fresh light on the matter with a conversation held on the radio platform.
Will you understand her reasons after tuning in?

Chrisette Michele has released a brand new number she hopes will support her forthcoming album ‘No Political Genius’ this week.
Still under a firestorm of criticism following her decision to endorse President Donald Trump by performing at his inauguration, the vocalist drops her very own version of Gershwin’s ‘Summertime’ alongside an interview she hopes will see her reclaim the fans her decision cost her.
Look and listen below…
Rihanna, Alicia Keys, and Pink are just a few of the names that joined millions across the globe in solidarity for the Women’s March.
Purposefully timed to take place the day after Donald Trump‘s inauguration as US President, the rallies sought to celebrate womanhood and remind of the glaring inequalities that are still a reality. The latter being a core focus of the campaign given Trump’s sexually charged and degrading comments about women.
Beyond lending their name to the cause, the ladies rolled up their sleeves and took part.
Head below to see how…
In yet another case of “where is your publicist,” Chrisette Michele is pouring fuel on the fire that lit her up this week.
As widely reported, the R&B singer accepted Donald Trump‘s invitation to perform at his inauguration. A decision which angered and irked many who are disgusted with his publisized views on minorities and women.
Spike Lee was one of those disappointed in Michele and consequently deleted plans to feature her song ‘Black Girl Magic’ in an upcoming documentary.
Now, following a show of support from Lil Mo, the 34-year-old is responding – with a little help from her fiance.
Details below…
Both time and a common cause can be a healer.
In years past, Madonna and Cher have gone on record to say some pretty shady comments about one another.
However, the Pop titans put on a united front last night the Women’s March to Washington.
Staged one day after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, the march saw civilians as well as a large number of celebrities take to the streets of DC (and countless other corners of the world) to assert the rights of women and protest Trump’s sexist views.
We’re loving the camaraderie, although we do still chuckle at this…
As hot topics go, few get hotter than Chrisette Michele and her decision to perform at the inauguration of President Donald Trump.
And we mean that literally.
The R&B singer was lit up on social media by many angry that she entertained the offer (and check) to
A number of notable names joined the roast, including The Roots star QuestLove (who offered to pay Michele not to perform) and filmmaker Spike Lee – who snatched her song ‘Black Girl Magic’ from a documentary he’s making.
And while most of said response was received with an approving nod from the masses, Michele’s former ‘R&B Divas: LA’ cast-mate Lil Mo is not impressed. Especially with Lee.

Frank Ocean commentary, like sightings of the singer, is a rarity.
However, the reclusive crooner was moved to muse publicly on the inauguration of the new US president – Donald Trump.
Like millions across the United States, and indeed the world at large, Ocean seems downtrodden by the reality of Trump’s election. He’s also none-too-impressed with the efforts to smooth over the undeniable cracks of division in America.
His words await in full below…
CNN reporter and avid Trump supporter Kayleigh McEnany clearly missed the #Beyhive memo sent to political commentator Betsy McCaughey: don’t mess with Beyonce!
As you may recall, McCaughey came under fire from the devoted fan group after attempted to slam Hillary Clinton by awkwardly quoting lyrics from Bey’s top 10 hit ‘Formation’ (click here to read more on that). Like McCaughey, McEnany has incited Beyhive fury by slamming another one of the singer’s signature hits: ‘Single Ladies.’
The offense came just a day after she also claimed that Beyonce was inferior to country star Toby Keith. See the video inside:
Donald Trump’s official counsellor Kellyanne Conway has mocked Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z for endorsing Hillary Clinton during the 2016 Presidential race.
Speaking to TMZ, Conway teased the couple for their decision to back Clinton towards the end of the race and insinuated that their public support of her may have played a part in her loss.
Will you agree with what Ms. Conway has to say about Mr and Mrs. Carter?
