The ‘Ignition’ hit maker, R Kelly, has for the first time spoken since he was set free after being arrested for allegedly sexually abusing minors. He has denied the charges against him as he said; ”I didn’t do this stuff. This is not me. I am fighting for my f ** life. How stupid would I be to do that.
That’s stupid. Use your common sense. Forget how you feel about me. Hate me if you want to, love me if you want. Just use your common sense. How stupid would it be for me, with my crazy past and what I have been through, now I need to be a monster and hold girls against their will and chain them in my basement and don’t let them eat? Stop it. You all quit playing.”
Kelly was unequivocal when it came to emotionally and physically abusing women under the age of 18. When challenged about the accusations, Kelly said they were not true before dismissing the rumours; ”whether they’re old rumours, new rumours, future rumours, not true.”
Kelly also disputed the relevance of a previous court case about impropriety with underage girls. When asked if this past is relevant, he stated, “Absolutely, no it’s not. Because for one, I beat my case. When you beat something, you beat it.”
