Chrisette Michele -- you in danger girl.  She's getting DRAGGED on social media today.  Deets inside...

We heard rumblings earlier this week, but now, it's a done deal.  Reportedly. 

The NY Daily News reports Chrisette Michele just joined the (very) brief list of folks performing for Trump at his Inauguration on Friday.

Needless to say, her very black and very R&B base aint here for it.

The site reports:

We're told that the deal was reached a week ago, but has been kept "a big secret" because Michelle's camp feared the seven days of criticism that would surely lead up the the divisive President-elect's big day. They became especially concerned when Jennifer Holliday, who'd committed to performing for PEOTUS last week, withdrew amidst heavy pressure on Monday, citing "a lapse of judgment."

We guess she believed the criticism would magically not happen if she just popped up singing on stage.

Still, all that "concern" over Jennifer Holliday pulling out didn't affect Chrisette.  Because homegirl is still down for the performance.

The people she initially was going to perform with turned down the offer, but not Chrisette.  She said as long as she gets to perform "an R&B set," she's good.

Our insiders say that inauguration organizers first reached out to Michele's team asking her to perform the song "Intentional" with singers Travis Greene, Jonathan McReynolds, and Tye Tribbett — the same trio with whom she did that tune on BET's "Celebration of Gospel" broadcast one year ago. We're told that plan fell apart when at least two of those three singers declined the offer. But, according to our sources, Michelle agreed to sing for the Prez so long as she could perform an R&B set.

Interestingly, not one Latino/Latinx musical act have been booked for this Inauguration, yet the Latinx group voted for Trump in a larger percentage than blacks. 

Chrisette must have some major checks coming her way from places other than her base, because....

Her comments from her fans show they aint here for any of this.  Shambles.  Just shambles.
