R. Kelly responds to Village Voice story about past sexual assault allegations

R.Kelly has responded to the Village Voice shocking article about his history of alleged sexual abuse of teenage girls which centered around an interview with Chicago Sun-Times music journalist, Jim DeRogatis, who broke the story 15 years ago.

During an interview with Atlanta’s V-103, R.Kelly had this to say about the article;
"Well I feel like I got the football man, and I’m running towards the touchdown and if I stop and look back or mess around, I’ll get tackled. When you get on top of anything, it’s very windy, It’s about holding your balance once you get up there…Spiritually, I’m a climber.”

    4. Anonymous 10:23AM, just cuz you don't understand the bullshit that he wrote doesn't make it an intelligent statement, they are called sophistical refutations and are used to dodge questions, in otherwords according to the question he was asked he said nonsense in reply, Bonario was very justified in saying he didn't get what he was trying to say. He didn't say he didn't understand the grammar, he was trying to say "the man dey yarn boto aka BALLZ" !!

  37. He who comes to equity must come with a clean hand. How clean is your hand, Kelly? What goes around comes around. No one has ever escaped the long arm of KARMA. Though you may escape human justice....

  75. I was expecting a stronger defence, rather than this lame escapist defence that you are putting up.You replied the Village voices accusation like somebody wit a lot of dirt in his cupboard.You have to properly clean out your closet.

  90. Well said!!!Am a spiritual climber,d past should stick 2 d poles of a transformer.

    ReplyDelete
  91. I used to give this guy the benefit of doubt...but his actions, prove, over and over again that he is a hypocrite. He isn't spiritual in a good way...might be in a wicked way. One who serves the Most High won't put of such filth as music as he has done recently. He needs to repent and grow up...stop acting like a boy at 50+.

    ReplyDelete
  92. U remain my no 1 ever today tomorrow n forever

  93. He is neither denying nor accepting the claim. Keeps anyone interested in a state of paranoia

    ReplyDelete
  94. Yeah right....spiritual indeed

    I adore his voice and ability to keep giving great songs. But after the 'detailed' article, I just didn't know no more; then he gives a response as vague/corny/lame as this? wow!
    I loved him so much I didn't even give the 'child pornography' thingy much thought. Now I'm just digusted!
    Fuck you R. Kelly! Fuck you very much!

  121. America does not have corrupt police like Nigeria. if it is true, 15 years is too much to nab a pedophile bc there is sex tape as evidence.
    nobody knows if he has sued this journalist. saying little words about this issue does not mean he is guilty.

  128. Linda, "centre around" is a geographical impossibility. Since language captures life, "centre on"/"about" would do just fine. Just as an aside, "majorly"(instead of mainly) and "severally" (instead of several times)are other points worthy of note.
    I wrote this because you have become a reference point and an agenda-setting medium.
    Thanks for the good job.

    ReplyDelete
  129. Abeg these peeps should leave R. Kelly alone jare. Smart guy, didn't accept nor deny the accusations lol.

    ReplyDelete
  130. I baffles me how these Americans come out and say someone had sex with them at 15, thus pressing for charges...was it rape? At 12 every girl here is very enlightened, even 8 sef. Their parents too will come out and say they want justice, but why not train your child well, where were you when you child was busy runny after celebrities??? If you wanna club in the US you must be at least 21 years old, but I was girls of 17 smuggling themselves into the club, if anything happens to them later, they will press charges. It's just very silly allowing someone camp you in a house or in the car and you later come out to the public and say he had sex with me when I was 15, are you mad??? Did he rape you??? I know Rkelly likes women, but which celeb doesn't?
