Will there ever be an end to the drama surrounding R. Kelly? Well, we may never know. “I Admit It,” an album in the singer’s name, was recently released, leading to mixed reactions from around the world.
But did the disgraced R&B singer actually release the compilation? Well, he has just reacted to the album, which popped on streaming platforms on Friday, denying he released it. According to him, the release of the album was an attempt to undermine him in court.
He did not deny recording the project which actually bears his voice. And in the words of his lawyer, Jennifer Bonjean, he did the recording on Friday after they met. But then, the singer’s team is not behind the release of the album. She claimed the songster’s intellectual property was being stolen from him.
For his part, the disgraced singer not only denied releasing any music, but he noted he was focused on appealing his most recent convictions, while also expressing the hope that people recognized his voice.
Until his face from grace, R. Kelly was one of the biggest names in global pop with a fortune running into hundreds of millions. Now, though, he is a specter of his old self, desolated and in disgrace over child pornography and other crimes.
