VIDEO : Spike Lee Shoots Down Chrisette Michele Over Performance at Inauguration

Director Spike Lee says he will not make use Chrisette Michele's music in an upcoming project due to the artist's decision to perform at President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration. Michele seemed to allude to the controversy Thursday on her blog , where she wrote: "We can't be present if we're silent." She added that she doesn't mind criticism if it allows her "to be a voice for the voiceless." Lee wrote on Instagram that he was sorry Michele was performing at the inaugural, and claimed that he had considered using Michele's "Black Girl Magic" in his upcoming Netflix series, "She's Gotta Have It" but won't anymore.
