R Kelly has unveiled a new 19-minute song called “I Admit It” in which he addresses the numerous allegations made against him, including by several young women who say the R&B singer held them against their will, forced them to have intercourse with other women, and controlled how they dressed, what they ate, and when they went to the bathroom.

At least Kellz is being honest.

Hell naw. Go away disgusting perv.

Hard-to-reconcile artist. Depraved sexual predator.

I'm not taking sides, but you say he is guilty even though he hasnt been convicted....

how does this work?

I listened to it- not because it was a decent song (it wasn't) but because of things revealed throughout the 19 minutes.

My jaw dropped when he admitted (and I had no idea) that he doesn't own his publishing and is constantly touring to pay (legal) bills.

No one seems to care about "Innocent until proven guilty" these days.

It sounds as if R. Kelly will be the next artist filling for bankruptcy. "4 managers and 23 lawyers"....damn.

That was a COMPLETE shock to me also! He said he signed it away. Because he didn't know how to read the contract.

That is so tragic.

That's cute and all, but where there is smoke, there is fire, or at least a need to look for kindling.

Aaliyah stated she was underage when she married him. That makes him a predator and a pedophile - that being a person who is sexually attracted to and has sex with children.

Let's not forget the interview when Toure asked R. if he liked teenage girls, and R. said, "define teenage". Toure's jaw dropped. R.'s people demanded the interview never be shown again, but Aziz Ansari used it as a whole stand-up routine and tore R. a new butthole.

You'd also do well to read how the music ind... complicit in ignoring the mess around R. Kelly, letting it happen over and over and over simply because they were all cashing in on his record sales.

as long as he makes money for certain people ....this will be twisted

Punk. Who wants to listen to a 19 minute song? These are serious allegations. Be a real man, sit down for an interview and tell your side of the story. What is he trying to do? Make this his comeback song?

I don't mind (if it's Prince, of course, u must ain't heard that Noon Rendezvous rehearsal or Junk Music ) n gave this a spin 2 as a "casual fan" of R's work (early stuff mostly, whatever his faults the man had sum hits , he lost me around I'm A Flirt actin all tough n shit) n outta curiousity. Not crazy about it n probably won't give it another complete spin again, but I digress. I agree where there's smoke there's fire, he was never convicted, both sides really, don't recall Aaliyah ever saying they were married, but could b wrong n I believe Toure (if we're talking about the same thing) asked if he liked "young girls" n he said "how young" (18 & Over is how I roll personally, another P shout )

Have not and will not listen. Unlike MJ, there is proof of Kelly’s demise.i can’t get there. A real musical genius and lowlife scum.

I guess that's the whole paradox. He's one of the most brilliantly talented artists to come along in a generation yet he's also a creepy perv that makes you wince for liking his music in the first place.

Okay, okay. So i listened. honestly i had no intention of listening to the whole thing but it moves along surprisingly fast. Hard to feel for a 50 year old man who apparently still falls for money-hungry parents pushing their daughters off on him and he's not mature or smart enough to say "no thank you".

At this point in his career, R. Kelly hoped that he'd be mentioned in the same breath as his musical heroes, instead he's widely viewed as a prolific singer-songwriter with pedophilic tendencies. That he still has a career is impossible to comprehend.

it's MANY entertainers that have done far worse than The R. Also it's MANY that are into the same things.

Hopefully,now that we have the #metoo movement going on,his fans will stop buying his music and going to his concerts.This sick bastard doesn't deserve to have a career anymore.

Some of us aren't as comfortable with child molesters as you might be.

He also made a VERY sexual comment about his attraction to a VERY young Justin Bieber a few years ago that NO ONE cared about or called him out on it.
