I can't keep answering these questions. If you was charged with something and you was found innocent, then you can't be found guilty for being found innocent.


The “Pied Piper of R&B,” who now simply goes by the name “R.O.B.” sat down with BET’s reporter extraordinaire Toure for his first televised interview since being acquitted of fourteen counts of child pornography.

“R. KELLY SPEAKS,” which aired yesterday, saw Kelly (real name Robert Kelly) in rare form: speaking candidly about his feelings concerning the trial that dragged on for six years.
"I can't keep answering these questions,” the singer eventually said during the interview, “If you was charged with something and you was found innocent, then you can't be found guilty for being found innocent."

The Grammy award-winning star also addressed his former “team” and brother expressed concern over his alleged preference for underage girls.

i dont believe that shit one bit. Considering that 1.) He was married to Aaliyah when she was like 15, 2.) He always hung around the high schools and the Rock N' Roll McDonalds talking to the young girls (i know because one of the girls he f**ked around with was a friend of mine, and 3.) the brother on the tape is CLEARLY him, and he got reprimanded a while back for having other tapes showing the same....

this is no secret in Chicago.....it just so happens that the brutha has money

I have loved Robert Kelly for many years. He is such a great singer. I believe him when he says he didn't do anything with any young girls and i feel that this interview went swell. Nowhere in it did he say he likes young girls...he says 19 year old friends...i am 24 and i would love to be friends with r kelly!!

R Kelly is a good man. Stars mess with 19, 20, and 21 year olds all the time. 18+ is legal in America. R Kelly just likes beautiful girls. leave the man alone and let him make music!
