That RKelly Dude Is A Viscious FREAK!!!
Separating art from artist… Each time you are purchasing his work, you are giving him money and power to silent his victims. at least to me, no art is above humanity
Such a shame, he was so talented; but “ disturbing.”
He is coming home
I don't and thay don't care if you think and the people think you a king of what ever when get caught missing with little girls and boys it's just a matter of time right you out the lime light 4 life.1.
Surviving the catholic church ⛪
Free R.Kelly
MOST people are not in jail just Registered on websites in each state they wanted him so.
This is his culture has nothing to do with Americans it's not like Americans are in jail 🙄 with him.
So this means their going to take down Elvis music now too right?
What does this mean for American culture well that's American culture it's been like that before 1619
With everything said can you separate art from the monster just crazy you can desire a kid nothing to debate just crazy.😯
Hate me for it…… I’m still playing his music. They locking him up so he will pay for his crimes with his time, that won’t rehabilitate him sad to say
Groupies in American culture is the priblem
R. Kelly means NOTHING for American culture. American culture goes on, as though Kelly never existed.
I CAN'T LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC NO MORE BECAUSE HIS MUSIC IS ABOUT BEING PEDOPHILIA 🤦🏽♀️😒🙁😣☹😑😥🤬
Its the parents to blame to, they got desperate for a oppoturnity. DUHH !!
It means nothing, just another freak that got what he deserved!
I still listen to his music, we're all flawed. I don't know how we can listen to music promoting MURDER and somehow suggest that Kelly's music shouldn't be listened to
He won't last long in prison
Like Bill Cosby,he'll be out in two or three years on a technicality….
Cancel this country then .
R Kelly the only mistake you made is you should hire people like me and believe me you wouldn't have had no witnesses and that's what y'all need to learn hire people like me and we'll get rid of every problem you have guaranteed.
I don't agree or support what he did, but where was this headline for Epstein? Additionally, are they holding the parents and associates (other celebrities, former spouse and team members) responsible too? Just clarifying question
I don't care 🤷🏾♀️ I still and will continue to listen his music.
So what about the parents who knew?
It means what it always means the culture needs major change. I don't feel sorry for none of them stop celebrity worshiping and start holding more accountability to EVERYBODY involved including the parents,women,friends etc. how about we start there.
THE POLITICIANS ARE THE REAL CRIMINALS…
Everyone should be at peace ✌ you got what you wanted gulity.
THE. MAN ACT CONSIST OF BEING IN INTER RACIAL RELATIONSHIP AND EXTRA MARTIAL RELATIONSHIPS AND FORNICATION.
The charges is a sexual predator one charge 🙄 is the man act
The Masonic origins of the music industry.
what thats a lie………."sound track"????
The parents should be charged too if we think about it cause they know
…there is something egregiously wrong with a grown man searching out an having romantic relationships with (children) and lets call it for what it is an focus on that, instead of using the euphemism (girls) because that softens the offense…clearly r kelly has arrested development, in this video, he cant define what teenager is wowww…so why would he know that a 12, 14 or 16year old is MORALLY wrong when considering a sexual and romantic relationship
its insane…
To me it means racism’s because they only pick on black dudes the man is a super star god
American Culture — NO. We have white culture and black culture. And they are separated.
I’m still listening to RKelly! You can’t deny his music!
I will keep listening to his music. He did wrong. He going to Prison for his crime but God is a forgiving God. Sin is Sin. No small sin and no big sin.
