It’s been my energy since the shyt about Aaliyah came out.
But once again, deflection. What does acknowledging somebody’s musical acumen have to do with being willing to hold him accountable for pain he’s caused people in our community?
He’s talented. GREAT! So?!
That doesn’t make him any less sick. And part of his sickness is due to people like you who don’t care about how mentally stable artists are as long as they keep making music. It’s the same shyt with Lizzo. People willing to overlook ANY FUKKERY b/c of someone’s artistry.
Stop.
How many more chances should he get to fukk over our community so you can get a new track?
How many kids gotta be sexually assaulted/harrassed by Lizzo’s cringeworthy ass before somebody breaks character and gets her ass some help instead of calling her “brave”? Or pretending that R. Kelly is just another “po blk man” being mistreated. Last time I checked, blk men I know don’t marry 15 year old girls.

If people would have been willing to call him out sooner, we could have helped him AND the girls he preyed on.
BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOO, we gotta sit and pretend like shyt sweet b/c people too mentally challenged to hold more than one image of a human being in their slow
Fukk him for the lives he messed up and fukk anybody caping for him. And yes he is a Godfather of R&b. That is also a super predator. Talent doesn’t preclude mental illness. Quite the contrary in most cases.
