Here's another thing


R. Kelly's scandal started back in 2001 or 2002

Michael Jackson's scandal started in 2003

Kobe Bryant's scandal started around that same time


R. Kelly is the only one who hasn't gone to trial

YES, this shit should be brought up. & the reason it's taken SO long is b/c bottom line - mf's on mass (the record buying public, the "community") don't care about what happens to young Black women/girls, bottom fucking line. It's a damn shame that mf's wanna pretend it wasn't him so they can still spin his shitty records - what happened to protecting CHILDREN?? ALL CHILDREN???

I've thought through every possible angle, and I just don't get it. MJ may have behaved inappropriately, but there has still never been any solid evidence against him, he was found innocent by a jury, and several of those involved in the accusations are decidedly suspect.And yet ol' Mikey's a villian for the ages.

R. Kelly, on the other hand, once married a definitely underaged Aaliyah, and is shown through video evidence to have had sex with at least one more underaged girl. And yet, he's more popular now than he ever was.



When it comes right down to it, the only thing I can imagine to account for the difference in public and media regard of these two is the genders of their (alledged) victims. Maybe had Michael gotten himself suspected of touching ltitle girls, people would be more forgiving. And maybe if R. was videotaped having sex with a little boy, his career would be the one in the shitter.

I disagree...he's definetley not as popular, but i think that people in my community was more upset when that shit went down with Jay-Z than when those tapes surfaced... I hear women blaming the young lady (talking about she knew what she was doing) and i always get in their Ass !

What shit with Jay-Z?

SCNDLS said:

He and Jay-Z had a tour together and Kells often would show up late or will not show up and be at McDonald's acting as a cook and sometimes would leave the show because the lights weren't shining on him brightly enough. The last time Kells was on the show with Jay, he left the show early because he saw "guns waving" in the audience seats and he left "fearing for his life". Jay and his people got so pissed off that one of his brother-in-laws/associates tasered him with a pepper spray. Jay took Kells off the tour after that.

Oh, that! Yeah, I saw that wackass tour here in Dallas. Ironically, Jigga dated Aaliyah too.

Timmy84 said:

And R Kelly sued Jay

SCNDLS said:

I know Dame Dash/Jay's ex bussiness Partner was Dating baby girl... never heard anything about Jay & Aaliyah

There ARE pictures of Jay and Aaliyah together, but I think it was AFTER Aaliyah came of age.

Timmy84 said:

That happened here in NY the night before i went to the show and let me tell you,Jay-Z was on the radio after all that went down assuring all of us that had tickets to come on out the following night, because he was gonna take care of us and did he ever..along with Jay we got Mary J Blige, Busta, Diddy and Mase, Usher, Destiny Child, Foxy Brown and i'm sure i'm missing a few... it was a great night at the Garden

banks said:

I heard that same exact shit. Saying that she looked older.

Look at pictures of that girl, she looked underage! And in the clip where he's doing the crime, it was shown in some special where they toured his house

Another thing. Michael's the "weirdo" and the "freak" so people think it's easier to believe. R. Kelly was the girl who sang I Believe I Can Fly and shit, plus he made R&B music that people like, so they refused to believe it

Yeah the room where the crime took place was featured in a Vibe Magazine spread... you know he got rid of that house soon after the tape surfaced

banks said:

Dame dated her AFTER Jay did.

One of my best friends died on the plane with her.

In my area, R. Kelly gets more radio play now than he did before and his singles stick around forever on the Canadian charts. Meanwhile, many stations still have a carpet ban on any and all MJ or Jackson 5 material.

SCNDLS said:

oh ok...sorry about your friend

banks said:

Thanks, hun. She worked at Jive (Kelly and Aaliyah's label) when Aaliyah first came out. They all knew what was going on, it was common knowledge. But her parents didn't pursue it legally to protect her budding career. Crazy!

banks said:

Diddy and Mase?!

I would've asked for my money back!

You guys remember about year or 2 ago when he was bragging about how he was the Malcom X, the Muhammad Ali, and the MLK of the generation?


NEGRO PLEASE!

To THIS day I have NEVER understood how this child molester didn't go to prison for not only marrying Aaliyah but having sex with her as well. As much as I loved her, part of me hated the fact that her parents allowed that shit to be swept under the rug for the sake of her career.

Furthermore, the fact that he was screwing his jump-off's 14 year-old niece shows how twisted and sick this fucker is. Compounding the problem is the black community's AND the music industry's continued support of this criminal like it ain't shit. But they wanted to crucify MJ, yeah his behavior was hella inappropriate but nothing anywhere near what this nucca did.
