In the few clips shared, R. Kelly clearly tries to shut down all the “rumors” said about him and that they are “not true.” “That’s stupid!” says Kelly when talking about him holding underage girls hostage, and starts to break down in tears while directly talking into the camera.
“Forget the blogs. Forget how you feel about me. Hate me if you want to, love me if you want to. Just use your common sense. How stupid would it be for me with my crazy past and what I’ve been through. ‘Oh right now I just think I need to be a monster and hold girls against their will chain them up in my basement. And Don’t let em eat. Don’t let em out unless they need some shoes down the street from their uncle.’ Y’all quite playing. I didn’t do this stuff. this is not me. I’m fighting for my f****** life!”
