CLOSE

We promise to close the coffin on this chapter after this update.

After being shocked at Chrisette Michele’s decisions leading up to Inauguration weekend, we were able to witness one final clap-back, and we have to admit: It’s pretty creative.

After being called out by Spike Lee (and having her song removed from his upcoming project), Chrisette decided to showcase her more poetic side:

“I am the black song that Spike Lee won’t sing

I am the black voice inauguration bells ring

I am the black sheep disguising the scared wolf

No I am the black elephant in the red room, scared shook

White House invites me, you can call me their coon

I am the butterfly growing from slavery’s cocoon”
