Performers scheduled to perform at Donald Trump's inauguration forced to drop out because of death threats:

Dreamgirls star Jennifer Holliday:
“I was receiving death threats at this point. I was receiving death threats from black people, the N-word from black people. They were saying they were going to kill me.”
[...]
‘Oh my God, there are black people calling me this!’ There were saying I should kill myself or, you know, someone should kill me — all over singing a song! I said, ‘I just wanted to sing!’”


Bruce Springsteen cover band cancelled under heavy pressure.
Bruce Springsteen cover band ‘B Street Band’ has cancelled its pre-Inauguration event, citing problems with fans and E Street Band members.

“As time went by, the complexity of the situation became real immense and intense,” Forte tells Rolling Stone. “The band was caught in a hurricane."


Blind tenor Andrea Bocelli:

Steve Harvey got some extreme backlash from other blacks for simply meeting with Trump, to discuss what the inner cities might need in the future.

he said:
'On a personal note, a lot of y'all hurt me,' Harvey told his listeners, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported.
'I didn't expect the backlash to be so fierce. I also understand if I'm going to keep getting stabbed at, at least while you're stabbing me, you should understand my intent,' he continued.

When they met on Friday, the two men spoke about rebuilding inner cities – a constant and controversial fixture of the final weeks of Trump's presidential campaign.
'We got off to a great start. I think it could be the beginning of something,' said Harvey after the meeting.
'We're gonna get some things started, and they have a plan for the inner cities but they need help. And so, that's why they called me. So we'll see what I can do,' Harvey said.
