R&B singer Rico Love probably won’t pen any hit records for Chrisette Michele in the near future. The crooner/producer has fired a shot at the musician.
A screenshot has surfaced of Love labeling her “Donkey of the Day” on Instagram.

This week, Michele talked about landing her inauguration performance slot and getting disowned by her family.
“Originally I was supposed to perform directly after his first speech, and I had done that with Barack Obama before, so I was used to that kind of experience. And the woman who organized the event came and told me, “Now you’re going to go first and he’s going to go after you.” I looked her in the eye and said, “My family has disowned me. If you decide to Google me, you’ll see that America is writing about me in their newspapers. I’m the black poster child for discord right now, and he’s not going to shake my hand?” So no, I didn’t get to meet him.” (Billboard)
Chrisette also revealed if she took any offense to not meeting Trump.
“I know he has a lot of other things going on. I don’t know if, like Barack and Michelle, he’s listening to my album or that I’ll be on his summer playlist, so I don’t want to take it that way. I’d rather be optimistic and think that they’ll come another chance where I can talk to him. But I definitely did take the time enough to meet as many of the 60,000 people in the room as I could that night and begin to exchange information. And there were a lot of people who are excited to sit down and talk, who worked on his campaign.” (Billboard)
This week, Michele released a political poem to defend her controversial performance.
