Robert Kelly crying to Gayle King brehs (Pt 1 of Interview In OP, Pt 2 Tomorrow @ 7AM)

[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

No special insight, though I bet in a month or so there will be pieces detailing his financial downfall, which still hasn't been entirely confirmed, but here's my timeline,

2002: He is charged with child pornography, and he is still a major, major star, with hit records everywhere, on the heels of TP2, in the run up to Chocolate Factory.

2004: Legal bills are like trying to stop the bleeding from a dozen cuts, he must have paid over a million, if not several, over the course of 2002-2008, he was probably barely hanging on by 2008, as his star power faded, his last successful record was in 2003, with Chocolate Factory, at least if I recall correctly.

2008: So, he in a professional hole, and then goes through an exhausting trial, in the run up to the 2008 Recession, likely lost money in home equity and any market portfolio he may have had. He beats the trial, has spent most of what he had to do so, and is now in the twilight of his career. No more hits, he doesn't own his music, he can only tour, and do shows. He is also a tainted brand, falls further and further into relative decline.

2019: Fast forward 10 years, a bizarre lifestyle with too many homes, and the general disarray of men like Kelly, and DMX, and he's essentially destitute, only to be hit with lawsuits, and the new felony charges in Chicago.

You made a couple good posts in this thread but this isn't one of them.

Y'all need to stay out these star's pockets SMH

I feel really bad for him. The whole imagery of this situation bothers me. I know Kells has demons but in truth all I can see is these white folks ( DA), the criminal system laughing, breaking and taunting this guy.

I don’t even see him as a rapist anymore ( which I know he is) I’m just seeing another black man getting unfairly railroaded for the PR points and the catch “ I took him down”.

Seeing another brother/black male breakdown and cry like this really makes me feel bad for him. This is so wrong on so many levels.

 

[Kinguno]

The way his face changed when he said the word beef I knew it was true

 

[JordanWearinThe45]

Just set my dvr

The more and more I watch the last part, the more I believe bro

Kinda off topic but think about all the hits R Kelly has made for himself and written for others, the list is at least 50 deep, just smash hit records...how the hell doesn't he have even 100,000 to bail himself out of prison in 2019? How is he in financial ruin? That shyt is wild, what do these dudes be doing with their money? Smh

Yeah that shyts crazy. Wasn’t he recently doing shows? He in a 360? Did he own his masters or at least a part of them? If he didn’t, that might explain it, but it still doesn’t make sense because been touring n shyt

I dont see it as a race thing...its a man thing.

Any dude in the spotlight that has any kind of funny stuff in the past is getting metoo'd.

Hell...on that same CBS show Charlie Rose got Metoo'd and they got him out of there with the quickness,

 

[Take It In Blood]

Control ur dikk brehs


If u can't do that then expect legal problems, drama and child support to come ur way

 

[King Kai]

we have a potential crying mj contender

 

[FunkDoc1112]

Homie he didnt even say he wasnt guilty, he "beat the case"

"now when you say teenagers how old you talkin"


This nikka guilty as a mf

Only reason we belueve the old charges is because of video evidence.

they got video evidence of this one too.


nikka goin down this time. They gon get him on the second one like they did OJ

That's the big thing to me. He never denies the shyt he's been accused of, he just tries to pivot and spin it into something not despicable.

 

[ISO]

I think Kellz did have relationships with underage girls and legit has a problem with the root cause being his own molestation as a child

I don’t know about him having girls in a dungeon and having a sex slave ring or whatever people are saying

 

[seemorecizzy]

The cult thing makes no sense to any body with a brain

Listen to "i admit"
He explains everything

 

[BlackXCL]

He makes a good point in that video tbh.

 

[dh86]

Kells gone beat the case again if he has a competent lawyer

He doing this interview in the first place answers that question.
