I'm not going to be fake...I hear alot of people swear up and down that they're anti R. Kelly's music,yet they still listen. I never stopped listening to his music. This is one of my favorites by him and I'm still listening in 2019💜💙

Keith McKellar
And that's one of the questions me and my friends have been having for awhile do we condemn the music with the artist because technically the music is innocent

Regardless of the scandals he has done, this man knows how to make music. I'm in no position to judge who and what kind of person he is. I'm a musician and this guy, wooh, hands down! One of RnB's greatet innovators.

@Latanya Tunstall The first thing he should do is repent for the sins he committed. He was given a gift and he abused it because he was abused. God loves him, but He hates the sin! I love R's music, but as a victim of molestation, I hate what he did to women, his wife and mines. Now they speak if boys😡
