Hard times for R.Kelly.

R. Kelly has been found guilty on all counts of sexual exploitation of a child, racketeering, and kidnapping by the court. He is likely to spend over 10 years behind bars, I don't know if his attorneys will appeal the jail term, but one thing I know is that the singer is facing a terrible time in his life.

In March 2019, in an interview with Gayle King, the embattled singer, cried as he denied the charges laid on him. I remember, I and my colleagues in radio x-raying if his tears were to raise sympathy or he was actually guilty.

Since 2019, I've been following his trial and with more than 40 witnesses testifying against him with similar testimonies, I know it will be difficult for him to survive. Just last week his attorney stylishly liken the case of the embattled singer to that of Martin Luther King Jr., I know he was just playing a pity game.

One thing I will say about him is that he was exposed to sex in an early stage. At 8, he was sexually abused by an older family member, even till 14 years. I ain't trying to defend him, but just telling you about the human factor. Also, his alleged marriage to Aaliyah at an early age didn't help him in this case.

Since 2019, some radio stations in the US have stopped playing his songs, and that is life for us. I think our Nigerian celebrities should learn from R.Kelly's trauma. Be careful of how you use your stardom. You can escape in Nigeria due to our faulty system,but not in advance climes.

May we never fall when we reach our dream.�

No human is perfect but R Kelly bleeped up big time. He will be wishing to turn back the hands of time
