So the parents get away with dropping their kids off to him 😒
Jimmy Savile
Didn’t Elvis Presley married an under age girl in the mid-50s??? And nothing happened to him!
I guess WHITE PRIVILEGE played a role!😉😏

I feel like maybe it's a good time to stop referring to r Kelly as a singer and call him what he truly is
I believe I can lie…
If Obama had a son, this is what he’d look like.
R. Kelly got exactly what he Deserved. Had it been up to some of the Victims, whose lives he has completely Destroyed, he would have gotten at least 150 Years in Prison!!! That would have been right on Point!!! And anytime you go up against Attorney Gloria Allred, then You Can Expect To Lose!!!!!!!!! She has Successfully Won More Legal Cases in This Country Than Any Woman in History. She is Relentless in The Courtroom. She's The Absolute Best!!!!!!! The Victims Finally Got Justice Today. Thank God!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's about time ⏲️ 👏 I'm sure he calling Al Sharpton. And BLM.! The judge is a racists! Complaint will be filed . I want another trial .
It all started with Aaliyah, Age ain't nothing but a number.. written by R Kelly.
I feel sorry for R.Kelly. I dont like how R Kelly has become vilified for his sexual encounters with teenage girls. Men wont admit to this but men are actually attracted to teenage girls the most and that's because men are hardwired to look for youth and fertility in a women and nowhere is that combination more prominent than in a teenage girl. Not saying R Kelly shouldn't be punished, just saying he shouldn't be vilified.
Bubba just got new soap
Good
R Kelly was LOCKED UP way before his sentencing for 30 years. He had a CHOICE to break the chains, shackles, fetters, and webs off his MIND but he didn't. Thoughts become things. Choose wisely
Beautiful news!!!
🤦♂️ well he did it to himself
Self inflicted tragedy
He should’ve gotten more than 30 years like whatt???
It’s about time. I remember the rumor that he had abused Aaliyah and she had gotten pregnant right before her plane crash. This is way overdue.
This is racism, how come Biden is not charged for his hair sniffing, whispering and touching of intimate parts… And all this in public where at least some of the parents had the decency of trying to cut in. God knows what has happened behind the scenes, something telling me it was much, much worse.
R Kelly dont drop the soap. Now its your turn to get plugged. Ha Ha
In my opinion r kelly is the victim
Many murders are sentenced to less time in jail. This was all about making an example of him.
it Seems like ready
The charges are bogus
R. Kelly if you believe you can fly, now is the time. 🕊 🤞🏾😭
Monster!
At this point, Kelly is being put away for life and afterlife.
R Kelly got 30 years. I feel he should have gotten a longer sentence
30 years. He will die in prison. Even when eligible for parole he isn't getting out.
R. KELLY
Trapped in the Prison 🎶
*coming soon
So when are they going to lock up the woman who had emmit killed by the kkk sense there no statues of limitations.
hollywood got producers doing what they claim he did everyday but nobody want to talk about these white jews so scared they go get blackballed
Sentenced to 30 years. He was hoping for 18 and under.
My prayer go out to R Kelly 😇😇
DO YOU SEE THIS IF YOU ARE BLACK
YOUR SENTENCE WILL BE 4 TIMES
WORSE THAN A WHITE PERSON.
ME TOO WOMEN SHOULD BE
SUBJECTED TO A LIE DETECTOR
TEST. ME TOO HAS IMPACTED MORE
BLACK MEN AND DEMOCRATS.
R Kelly has rightly been sentenced to 30 years in prison.
What on earth made him think that he could get away with such conduct?
I guess that he was making so much money, he must have thought that he was untouchable
No more than Harvey Weinstein. Ir don't really matter who you are, or how much money you are making there's no place in a civilised society for this kind of behaviour.
Dude said today he gotta face the music.. Lol
Justice for kelz! There were no true victims and the charges was made up just like the lies told on kelz. Its sad how the media took part in the lies and take down of kelz smh.
Sick!!
I believe Jay -Z setup R.Kelly
