Wallade:


That statement indicated that the daughter alluded to the qualification of R. Kelly as a monster.

mvem:
...how will a 12 year old come out to talk... How!... The guy is a paedophile and you still defending him... I think you say all this because none of your young sister or relation was involved if not you will understand the gravity of what this guy has been doing for more than 20 years..... He had the money to shut people mouth and settle out of court... Go read in details right from the 90s... You love a sick mofo

enemyofprogress:
She no even fine sef

mankan2k7:
How can u recover what was never lost?
How can d Nigeria army recovered a baga town that has never
been lost to boko harram.
I am just curious

dominique:
R. Kelly may or may not be guilty but what is very obvious here is that quite a number of women are using this scandal to shoot themselves into the public eye. Even washed out singers like Sparkle who owes R Kelly her brief career is also coming out to play victim. There is always an element of truth in every rumour but capitalizing on a person's downfall is a big no no.

Besides he already predicted this setup. See the lyrics of Heaven I need A Hug released January 2002. This is 17 years after.

"Heaven I Need A Hug"

I'm just bein' real, you know
I'm like the sun, I'm tryin' to shine on everybody
You know what I'm sayin'
But it's like situation after situation, you know
So I write about it to get it off my chest, you heard

Dear mama, you wouldn't believe what I'm goin' through
But still I got my head up just like I promised you
Every since you left your baby, boy's been dealin'with
Problem after problem, tell me what am I supposed to do
See, I get lost sometimes, don't understand this place
Look in the mirror sometimes and see a troubled face
And then my tears roll down and hit the sink
Then I hold my head up high, I hope the Man upstairs can hear my cry
All these questions deep inside my mind
Like if Jesus loved me, why he leave my side, mama
I'm still tryin' to get the answer why
You were young, 45, and you had to die
I'm always tryin' to help people out
And it's them same people tryin' to take food out my mouth

(Fo' real tho') It seems like the more money I make
(Fo' real tho') The more drama y'all try to create
(Fo' real tho') And through I try to move into the positive
(Fo' real tho') The more y'all don't wanna let me live

When will you realize that I don't owe you nothin'
Need to get up off your butt and go get your own somethin'
I'm pullin' on my hair to keep from snappin' off
Fools ride up in my camp and be actin' off
Somebody out there please pray what I'm talkin' 'bout
Still young tryin' to figure it out

Heaven, I need a hug
Is there anybody out there willin' to embrace a thug
Feelin' like a change of heart
And all I really need is a sign or a word from God
So shower down on me, wet me with your love
I need you to take me and lift me up, oh, yeah

I gave 13 years of my life to this industry
Hit song or not, I've given all of me
You smile in my face and tell me that you love
But then before you know the truth, you're so quick to judge me
That's alright, go ahead, keep talkin'
Cause I'mma hold my head up high and keep walkin'
And reach for the sky, focus on the plan
Rescue the kid with his paper a pen
And this is for the homies that we lost
Yo', we cannot forget y'all, so the hats come off
We pour a little liquor out for the memory
I know y'all up there sittin' on chrome in them pearly streets
The street survivors before careful, stay alive
I'm prayin' for your families, I hope you pray for mine

(Fo' real tho') Used to be a time you wished me well
(Fo' real tho') It hurts to know you wanna see me fail
(Fo' real tho') And don't forget I kept you out of jail
(Fo' real tho') Where's my arms when you needed to be held

They turn they backs on you, who was there believin'
Who said your troubles were only for a season
In church together tryin' to pick up all the pieces
And now you betray me, I bind you in the name of Jesus
Somebody please pray what I'm talkin' 'bout
Still young tryin' to figure it all out

Heaven, I need a hug
Is there anybody out there willin' to embrace a thug
Feelin' like a change of heart
And all I really need is a sign or a word from God
(Please shower down)
So shower down on me, wet me with your love (Yeah)
I need you to take me and lift me up (Oh...oh...yeah, yeah, yeah)

Man, I tell you it's enough to make you wanna give it up
Thank God for my fans cause through it all they show me love
To my sister and to brothers
Tell me why can't we just try to get along with one another
And stop hurtin' one another, fightin' one another
Man, I pray to God He get my family back together
Let me see what wanna see, just to blind me
All of these luxuries, wine and dining
And then You push me out in front to get behind me
Then You sat me up by blessin' me to bind me
I'm a grown man with kids now, stakes are high
Gotta go to church now to avoid the fight
Frankly, y'all to keep it real I'm just tired
Have dreams of bein' dead, but the devil is alive

(Fo' real tho') Church folks, you need to stop judgin'
(Fo' real tho') Or you will be the first to be judged
(Fo' real tho') And women stop dependin' on us men
(Fo' real tho') And start dependin' on the Man above, feel me

And as for Robert, here's what I need to do
Get rid of them clowns and get myself a whole 'nother crew
Media, do your job
But please just don't make my job so hard
Somebody please pray what I'm talkin' 'bout
I'm still young tryin' to figure it all out

Heaven, I need a hug
Is there anybody out there willin' to embrace a thug
Feelin' like a change of heart
And all I really need is a sign or a word from God
So shower down on me (Shower down on me now), wet me with your love
I need you to take me (Please) and lift me up, yeah
Yeah (Said I'm callin' on heaven)

Heaven, I need a hug
Is there anybody out there willin' to embrace a thug
Feelin' like a change of heart
And all I really need is a sign or a word from God
So shower down on me, wet me with your love
I need you to take me and lift me up (Lift me up)
Yeah, yeah (Heaven I need)

Heaven, I need a hug (Ooh, yeah, yeah)
Is there anybody out there willin' to embrace a thug
Said I'm Feelin' like a change of heart (Hey)
And all I really need is a sign or a word from God (Ooh, yeah)
So shower down on me (Shower down), wet me with your love (Take me)
I need you to take me and lift me up, yeah, yeah

Tapout:
funny thing is that this whole R kelly Saga was aired in an episode on Boondocks season 1...in that episode he was taken to court and the charges were dropped.

calberian:
When a person or party of people accuse another person or party of rape and paedophilia and a 3rd person or party decides to label the accused as a rapist(s) and a paedophile(s), the 3rd party, in effect, passes judgement without the defendant's submission. Even bank robbers who commit heinous crimes with numerous eye witnesses present and video evidence still get fair hearing.

Michael Jackson was accused of paedophilia and went to court over the issue but that didn't make him lose the love and respect of billions globally during and after the brouhaha.

If my daughter reported being assaulted in similar manner, I'd investigate it and allow the law to take its course. I won't go up in arms over what hasn't been proven yet.

Bill Cosby's case went to court and after hearing his side of the story, he was found culpable and punished accordingly. It still didn't make me lose respect for him. That's his personal life. He's a flawed character wise. I am too. The whole world is. Except you Daeylar, though. It's called human nature.

I'm not celebrating the flaws. I condemned the act, if it really happened but I respect what he did to music.

I think some of you nairalanders who aren't lost should learn to appreciate contrasting opinions.

You will do well to take your men-bashing elsewhere and leave my rapist-paedophile a$$ the fvck alone.

She made allusions to what others said.

When Fela sang, ". . . That my mama wey you kill. . . ", he was making allusions to what they might have called her and killed her as a result but, he made it clear that he has a different opinion about her: ". . . She's the only mother of Nigeria. . . "

When allusions are made in such manner, they only refer to the opinion of those being quoted.

It's simple comprehension. QED

okaforson33:
this story is so heartbreaking

Wallade:


Hmmm "OED"! Who is in an argument with you? I can see what you stand for however, I don't share your opinion.

You can also choose to insult and disrespect your father publicly. That will be your father not mine.

What episode?

tintall:

The Boondocks S01E02 - The Trials of Robert Kelly

Vinstel:

I think the monsters are people who accuse someone and go ahead to pronounce him guilty without giving him a chance to defend himself or recourse to due process like taking him to court or presenting whatever "evidence" they have to law enforcement to prosecute him. Those are the real monsters here. A universally accepted legal maxim says Audi alterem patem, always give both sides a fair hearing before passing judgement

Wallade:
What do you expect from a daughter raised by a scorned mother. This Buku Abi indicated that she and her siblings have not spoken to R Kelly for years hence, she is not a credible judge or analyst of his character.

She had the guts to call him a monster, that tells a lot about her manners and training she received from her mother and disrespectful society.

Vinstel:

You are just being irrational. What evidence do you have that he did any of those things? Stop with the reverse psychology, it has no effects on me. If there is any evidence that he did any of the things you all are accusing him of then take him to court or at least turn the evidence over to law enforcement to prosecute him. Till then he is innocent until proven guilty. You don't just accuse someone, try him and convict him in the court of public opinion without giving him a chance to defend himself before a court of competent jurisdiction. If that be the case, then anybody can wake up any day and decide to accuse any one for whatever reason and we must believe the accused is guilty with or without evidence. It's a no brainer that it will lead to multitude of innocent people being punished for crimes they know nothing about. I believe in due process of the law and i repeat, any one who prefers jungle justice to legal due process is a monster

Rextizzle:
What episode?

franchasng:
EOD!!!

Don't mind them, R. Kelly remains a legend.

American women are so bitter for real.

Fear American women, they are so overbearing, mean hearted and desperate to ruin any mans life to enrich their pocket.

They discovered the old laws of American nation favored women, which was made by men to protect their daughters, but today American women are taking advantage of those laws created by men to protect women.

Its going to get worst...any man that finds himself in America or Europe should be wary of dealing with women, no wonder gay is on the rise and no wonder many white guys and western men no longer wish to marry or live with women forever....your wife can turn even your own daughters to your enemies, hmmm

Passionate888:
Episode 3 or 4, the title is ' The trial of R. Kelly'. Golden shower things.

diadem10:

lol. R.Kelly is actually a bisexual as well as a peadophile.
Can't believe a sane man would know of R.kelly's sextape involving young girls and would still defend such pervert. You're as perverted and psychotic as R.kelly. EOD.

franchasng:
Na you sabi

TimiRume:
Sexists all over the thread. They said we should wait until proven guilty but they are on R Kelly's side already.

calberian:
I still got respect for R. Kelly regardless.

I'm totally against the abuses and all perpetrated by the reverred musician but I opine thus:

All those folks were benefitting from him all those years and kept quiet. Now, they aren't getting those benefits anymore and they saw how the Cosby affair went so they congregated and made a video out of it and are now playing the victim.

If they're as honest as they claim to be, they should have sacrificed those benefits and spoken up right away. Secondly, I daresay that it's the parent's fault when a minor is exposed to abuse in such a manner.

Anyways, I still got respect for the king of Rnb, I only wonder how he managed to look past all the matured folk who would do anything to spend one night with him and settle for high school kids.
