1. The Invitation From Hell
She took Trump’s inauguration gig because she “needed them to see us. I needed them to see what we had to say and how we talk… And I was sayin’ ‘I don’t know if we’re being heard.’ So I had to go.” But Donald Trump didn’t even get to the inauguration ball until they were leaving so in that aspect it was a bust.

2. No Calls
She actually turned off her phone as soon as she decided to do it. She saw that social media storm coming.

3. Omarosa
It wasn’t Omarosa who called her to do the gig. It was a regular booking agency who offered the gig. She didn’t hesitate to accept the offer. Her management team objected to her decision but ultimately she saw it as an opportunity to be a voice for the Black community.

6. Spike Lee
She was disappointed in her “peer” Spike Lee because she feels he’s supposed to teach her how to create art and get it out. Also she says he never even called her about using her song which he said he decided against using. She said she would much rather have a conversation with her than a tweet.

9. Symbolism At The Ball
Though she didn’t get a chance to speak on the racial injustice at the inauguration she felt her Basquiat skirt symbolized the lynching and brutalities that the Black community has gone through for hundreds of years.

10. Inaugural Ball Performance Benefits For The Black Community?
