Surviving R Kelly has been trending since the beginning of 2019 following R Kelly’s sexual abuse allegations.
R Kelly’s daughter Joann Kelly whose stage name is Buku Abi has now opened up on the allegations that have been accused against her father.
According to Buku, said she is shocked by recent events which have seen her father accused of sexually abusing a number of women.
While taking to her social media account Buku wrote, “I just want to say a few things… Before I start I just want it to be known that I am speaking from the heart, nothing I say or do not say is to hurt ANY party reading this or affected by this. To the people that feel I should be speaking up/against everything that is going on right now. I just want you all to understand that devastated is an understatement for all that I feel currently.”
She further apologised for not speaking earlier issue.
In addition she said, “That is my last intention. I pray for all the families & women who have been affected by my father’s actions. Trust, I have been deeply affected by all of this. However, It has been very difficult to process it all. Let alone gather all the right words to express everything I feel. “Anyone that knows me personally or has been following me throughout the years knows that I do not have a relationship with my father, nor do I speak on him or on his behalf. I also am not fond of dealing with my personal issues or personal life through social media but, I feel things are starting to get out of hand.”
“Unfortunately, for my own personal reasonings & for all my family has endured in regards to him, his life decisions and his last name, it has been years since my siblings and I have seen or have spoken to him. The same monster you all confronting me about is my father I am well aware of who and what he is. I grew up in that house, my choice to not speak on him and what he does is for my peace of mind. My emotional state. And for MY healing.
“I have to do & move in a manner that is best for me. I pray anyone who reads this understands I put nothing but good intent behind each word. I just want everyone to know that I do care and I love you all.
“This is a very difficult subject to speak on… again, I apologise if my words don’t come out right..To everyone who reached out to my family and I, sending good energy and love…Thank you. You guys really helped push us through this hard time.
“This past year for my family has been very difficult, all the love and support you all continue to show is why we keep going. You all fuel us.”
