While the world is against Chrisette Michele for her decision to perform at Donald Trump’s inauguration, she has an unlikely ally in none other than India Arie. In an open letter posted online, India explained that she stands with Chrisette, though she doesn’t actually agree with what she did. Instead, she calls it simply a “career misstep.” Check out what she said below and let us know if you agree or disagree.
It’s no secret that when natural beauty comes into play, whether it be hair, makeup, etc., India Arie is an advocate for it. The, “Brown Skin” songstress has heard of all the negative comments thrown at Blue Ivy’s hair and the way her parents (Beyonce & Jay Z) may tend to it – or not – and has many words for the critics. In a letter, India has asked the commentators to, “do better” along with a wonder of when is it okay for people to, “make fun of a child.” All right now.
Adding to the previously announced list of performers that include Chris Brown, Miguel, R. Kelly and Kendrick Lamar…Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, India.Arie and Ciara will also be taking the stage at this year’s BET Awards. Chris Tucker will serve as host of the show, airing live from L.A. on Sunday, June 30th.
Brown skin, I’m talkin’ to ya Brown skin…It’s been a long while since we’ve last heard from India Arie. “SongVersation” is the singer’s next album, and it’s due out the same day as Wale’s , “The Gifted,” – June 25th. Everyone seems to be in competition with each other. The first single, off of the album is, “Cocoa Butter.” “The song is really about the heart and how to heal when something hurts it,” Arie told ESSENCE. “It sounds like it’s about a man, and on some levels it is, really it’s about being healed.” Sounds good.
