Fans Blast K. Michelle Over Passionate Hillary Clinton Endorsement

March 1, 2016

*K. Michelle is the latest celebrity to announce her endorsement for Hillary Clinton in the presidential race, but she probably wasn’t expecting the backlash from doing so.

K. hit up Instagram to reflect on her professional accomplishments, during which, she praised Clinton and advised fans that Hillary is a “woman you should know.”

She started off her Instagram post with a look back on her early life: “My life has taken me places I would’ve never thought. I graduated from Florida A&M University with honors, and later was accepted into numerous law schools. Then one wrong turn and my life changed. From ratchet reality TV, Twitter fights, to currently making history as the 1st African-American to ever receive an endorsement and their own beverage brand through Jack Daniels. So many wrong turns, but a constant fight to get back on the right track. It’s takin some time.”

K. Michelle released her debut studio album “Rebellious Soul” in 2013, and followed it up with “Anybody Wanna Buy a Heart?” Her third album drops at the end of March.

“March 25 is a celebration! I will be releasing my third album #MoreIssuesThanVogue when they said I would NEVER have one,” she wrote. “You guys made the last 2 albums #1 on the R&B charts, let’s make the third time a charm AGAIN! One Love.”

Michelle ended the post announcing her endorsement for Clinton.

“I will be actively supporting and campaigning for Hillary Clinton throughout this term, she is a woman who you should know. A woman also counted out. I relate to her. I’m placing my energy in people and things that evoke CHANGE!”

My life has taken me places I would’ve never thought. I graduated from Florida A&M University with honors, and later was accepted into numerous law schools. Then one wrong turn and my life changed. From ratchet reality TV, Twitter fights, to currently making history as the 1st African-American to ever receive an endorsement and their own beverage brand through Jack Daniels. So many wrong turns, but a constant fight to get back on the right track. It’s takin some time. Music is my heart and my life, but after this album I’m taking a break to focus on my other gifts. I would like to finally enroll in Law School and pursue my other business ventures. My restaurant is in build out, my home good line is about to launch in a department store near you. I have two TV shows I’m producing. I also have one of the hugest announcements of my life about my new partnership with Atlantic Records coming in a couple weeks. Wow. Who would’ve thought that red wig, Love & Hip Hop K. Michelle would be at this point? Today I heard my mother cry because she was proud of my current career accomplishments and that’s all I’ve ever wanted. My goal isn’t to be the perfect role model, but to be the MOST realistic. To anybody I’ve hurt along this journey of healing my hurt. I’m SORRY. To all my fans I love you like family. March 25 is a celebration! I will be releasing my third album #MoreIssuesThanVogue when they said I would NEVER have one. You guys made the last 2 albums #1 on the R&B charts, let’s make the third time a charm AGAIN! One Love. P.S. I will be actively supporting and campaigning for Hillary Clinton throughout this term, she is a woman who you should know. A woman also counted out. I relate to her. I’m placing my energy in people and things that evoke CHANGE! ✊?

Kerry Washington, Jeffrey Wright, Uzo Aduba, Jennifer Lopez and Magic Johnson have all been enthusiastic about Hillary Clinton’s campaign. In a separate post, K. Michelle said getting an opportunity to speak to Clinton about “the issues that are important to me as an African-American woman, was beyond motivating.”

Use your platform for the good of others. Hillary’s conversation and speaking to her about the issues that are important to me as an African-American woman, was beyond motivating. To know that she shares the same commitment to education and helping of out with the funding of HBCU’s makes me more than proud to endorse her? A photo posted by K.

I believe that every student has a right to receive a quality college education. As a graduate of FAMU, my focus is on Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The legacy of these schools has to carry on, and we have to find a method that makes it easier for my people and minority’s to advance. #hillary2016 I have financially committed to sending 1 student name Jasmine to college if she maintains her grades. You will be able to follow Jasmine’s Journey to college and meet her. We will post her on my social media sites for the next year! I met her on my video set recently and she was brilliant. Coming soon???

What do you believe in, and are you willing to fight for it against all odds? It’s not easy but it’s worth it. #hillary2016 A video posted by K. Michelle (@kmichellemusic) on Feb 29, 2016 at 1:17am PST

The Grio notes how many fans were quick to blast the singer her for the endorsement, with one person replying, “Lol what a joke. Well you will be able to keep on getting those abortions with Clinton in office.”
