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

R.Kelly doesn't' own his music.

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.

Social media and everything else today is all 100% silliness and bad comedy and childishness and trolling 24/7, it's Idiocracy out here, so I'm sure people will have a field day with this interview. But if he is being honest and he really hasn't done anything with any minors since that old shyt and what he went through with that then I wish him the best, sins can be forgiven as long as you don't continue to commit them after you realize it's wrong, maybe he got therapy or something to get his mind right. If he was really out here still pursuing minors though and all the other wild shyt the rumor mill says he's been doing then fukk him, it is what it is. His passion seems sincere though, :ehh:

Jebbadee sound like Jebediah twin sister name.

Why R Kelly keep doing these dumb ass interviews where he never actually attempts to clear his name. nikka basically sitting up there saying I fukked them girls in the past, you can't get me on them no moe.:sadcam:

I don’t think dude forced anybody to do nothing. He probly likes them young and that might make him a creep but It’s way more important shyt people could be outraged over. All this shyt coming back out isn’t coincidental & a lot of them people ain’t believable. Them same girls would’ve been fukking the old nikka in the hood that prey on young girls buying them purses and ear rings. Go arrest the people human trafficking underage sex slaves.

That nikka is allegedly on tape, fukking on 14 year olds. fukk is wrong with you?

He already made a song saying how he was getting raped by the label and has a HORRIBLE record deal.
