The storm in R.Kelly’s life will leave nothing surviving. This whole drama in his life has revealed that that R. Kelly, who is 2 years old, doesn’t know how to read or write.
Ten years ago, R.Kelly once revealed to Chicago’s NBC 5 that he had an issue with reading, stating that he had only graduated elementary school because of his basketball skills.
“I don’t even read really and I’m not afraid to say that,” he told the news channel how his illiteracy affected his life.“My cousins and brothers used to tease me, ‘You can’t even read right. How you think you’re going to come up?’ The only reason I graduated from grammar school is that I had a great jump shot.”
Also, late last year, Talk show host Wendy Williams echoed the same allegation that the singer still suffers from illiteracy.
“Robert, it’s long been said and he actually did admit this to me, I was shocked he was actually admitting this — because he can’t read, he can’t write and he can’t add,” she said. “I won’t tell you about how he maneuvers through the world.”
These revelations comes after the R&B superstar was taken into custody Wednesday for failing to pay child support, just weeks after he was detained on sex abuse charges.He was released from a Chicago jail on Saturday after a child support payment of more than Ksh 16,026,182 was made to his ex-wife.
Kelly, whose real name is Robert, told CBS journalist Gayle King in new parts of their interview that aired Thursday that he blamed his ex-wife for his money woes.
