R. Kelly’s history of allegedly raping underage girls has been chronicled over the last 15 or so years and he’s never faced any consequences. For so long, he’s been given a pass because his music is “hot” and classic, but we can’t overlook the damning claims against him. Last night, Kelly took the stage to close out the Soul Train Awards and it seems like we finally got together and got him out of the paint. This was probably his first major appearance on a national level since the mythical “Black Twitter” became a thing and he felt the wrath.
It seems like we’re mostly all ready to demand R. Kelly pay for his alleged crimes or get his a$$ out of our lives. He might be gearing up for a PR push of some sort, but that move might backfire.
