Chrisette Michele loses Spike Lee gig over inauguration performance

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Singer-songwriter Chrisette Michele has taken some flak for her decision to perform at Donald Trump’s inauguration tomorrow despite calls to boycott it. (Apparently, the boycott has something to do with him filling his cabinet with white supremacists and painting black culture as dangerous and ugly at every available opportunity.) Now, though, it’s not just a PR issue for the vocalist. She’s actually losing money. Filmmaker Spike Lee announced on Instagram today that he can’t in good faith use Michele’s song “Black Girl Magic” in his upcoming Netflix series She’s Gotta Have It, considering the people with whom she aligns herself.
