Cons

• Kelly secretly married Aaliyah. Aaliyah was a minor when he married her (15)!

• Kelly has numerous sexual abuse allegations against him. Kelly was eventually found not guilty in his child porn case (The case involved a sex tape with a minor).

• Kelly was sexually abused as a child.

• He has made light of his sexual abuse allegations…

• Kelly got angry on The HuffPost Live, disrespects the host, and walks off the set. R. Kelly didn’t like the negativity.

• His Best of Both Worlds tour with JAY Z ended badly back in 2004. Jay-Z stated that R’s behavior was erratic.

• Kelly is allegedly dating a teenager. The Blemish hilariously asserts that “R. Kelly Ready to Pee on a 19-Year-Old.”

• Sometimes, Kelly’s songs and lyrics are graphic.

• Kelly’s 2013 album Black Panties album seems especially inappropriate (chocked full of explicit sex references), considering Kelly was 46 when he released it.

• Kelly is no stranger to lawsuits, as the plaintiff or the defendant.

• He was upset with black people about the album sales for The Buffet.

• The Buffet was Kelly’s lowest debuting studio solo album, debuting at no. 16. Only one other R. Kelly album debuted outside of the top 10 (Born Into the 90s).

R. Kelly is the gift that keeps giving. He continues to write some great songs, while he also provides “fuel for the fire” with moral vices. Is Kelly a despicable man despite being a monstrous musician? That for each individual person to determine.
