According to Tamra Simmons, one of the executive producers of the Docuseries, this evidence of sexual abuse charged against R. Kelly has gone way back to two decades.
‘Surviving R. Kelly,’ the Docuseries, has been watched by millions of people around the globe, as young women tell their story of how they survived a sexual assault from the celebrated RnB singer, R. Kelly— A name his ex-wife would like to separate from his real name, Robert Kelly.
According to his ex-wife, Robert Kelly is the devil. She says this to remind us of how both Robert and R. Kelly are completely different personas. That has been the experience of these young women, once they meet, in this case, Robert Kelly. They realize he’s not as they see him to be. Most of them, in the Docuseries, described him as funny, nice and caring. But, according to them, when they enter his house (in order words, his life), he’s completely a different man. They’re quick to notice the difference. That is, R. Kelly, the celebrated RnB star is not the same as Robert Kelly.
What these young women are trying to point to the rest of the world is who Robert Kelly is. But his management team does otherwise. In a statement sent to Variety on 20th April 2018, his management team said, and I quote: “Kelly’s music is part of American and African-American culture that should never and will never be silenced. We will vigorously resist this attempted public lynching of a black man who has made extraordinary contributions to our culture.” Rightly so, they’re resisting every attack on R. Kelly’s personal life simply by pointing us to his musical contributions.
We know what’s true of his contributions to the American culture, but do we know the truth of what has been leveled against him? BBC Journalist Ben Zand has taken the step to investigate some allegations leveled against him. What keeps resurfacing is the number of lies he has told the public. He fabricated a fake marriage document to marry a 15-year-old Aaliyah and denied ever sleeping with a 14-year-old girl in a sex video, when in fact one of his “prisoners” testified he did. He’s also into brainwashing these young women so they never return to their families.
Michael McCrudden on his YouTube channel revealed what one parent actually said after she met her daughter for a long time. Here’s what the parent had to say: ‘‘It was as if she was brainwashed. She looked like a prisoner— it was horrible. I hugged her and hugged her. But she just kept saying she’s in love, and R. Kelly is the one who cares for her.” Why would R. Kelly brainwash a young woman to say these type of things about him? Is it love that he wants? Come to think of it, R. Kelly is loved by many in the world. This is R. Kelly we’re talking about! Isn’t the love shown by his fans enough? One would think it is. Perhaps this is why the world is still in a state of shock.

DJ Khaled Reveals Title Of New Album ‘God Did’
DJ Khaled has personally revealed the title of his anxiously awaited thirteenth full-length in studio album, GOD DID, coming soon via We The Best Music Group/Epic Records. He immediately set social media on fire with the announcement of the album’s name.
The phrase, GOD DID, has become synonymous with Khaled as of late. Fellow superstars such as Lebron James, Kevin Hart, FANLUV and so many more have adopted it as their mantra. It’s a phrase that is about to forever shape the culture and define 2022.
Recently, Khaled has teased the release of new music with a series of posts on social media joined by the likes of Drake, Future, Lil Baby and more in the studio. He’s stirring up anticipation to a fever pitch and will deliver anthems yet again.
He’s kept very busy throughout 2022. He made headlines with an appearance on stage at the Academy®Awards where he opened up the show, and he notably received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Plus, he served as a presenter, twice, at the Billboard Music Awards.

Last year, Khaled unleashed his twelfth full-length album, KHALED KHALED [We The Best Music Group/Epic Records]. It arrived as his third #1 debut on the Billboard Top 200, sixth #1 on the Top Rap Albums Chart, and fourth #1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart. It also reached platinum status.
Get ready for more from Khaled. Two words say it all, GOD DID.
For over two decades, the very mention of DJ Khaled has implied an elevated level of musical greatness, entrepreneurial excellence, and cultural impact. You’ve heard him across a GRAMMY® Award-winning multiplatinum catalog, seen him in blockbusters such as Bad Boys For Life, caught him on the cover of Rolling Stone, watched him on numerous television programs, and felt his presence from the streets all the way up to the Barack Obama White House.
He has achieved dozens of multiplatinum and gold certifications, including the 9x multi-platinum Billboard Hot 100 #1 “I’m The One” [feat. Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper, & Lil Wayne], 6x multi-platinum “Wild Thoughts” [feat. Rihanna & Bry
The latter propelled his 2019 album, Father ofAsahd [We The Best Music Group/Epic Records], to the top of the charts. Not only did it garner a platinum certification, but it also became his third consecutive Top 2 debut on the Billboard Top 200 and emerged as the “#1 Most-Streamed Record” upon release. To date, he has moved over 20 million singles and 6 million albums in addition to gathering 4 billion-plus streams.
Not to mention, he launched We The Best Music Group—a record label, management, publishing, and production company and in-demand studio. As a committed philanthropist, he founded his 501(c)3 organization The We The Best Foundation. It uplifts individuals throughout underserved communities across the United States and supports various non-profits.
