‘Crap.’ R. Kelly has finally responded to allegations of ‘cult’ activity

by

It was alleged in an extensive investigative report by Buzzfeed a number of weeks ago that noughties rapper R. Kelly has been holding women hostage in a cult in a number of his US properties.

The article says that the families of numerous women are concerned for the safety of their ‘brainwashed’ daughters who are residing in a cult-like atmosphere with the RnB star, who allegedly controls all aspects of their lives.

According to members of R. Kelly’s former posse, the singer controls what the women eat, how they dress, when they bathe, when they sleep, and how they engage in sexual encounters, says Buzzfeed.

R Kelly has officially declared the rumours to be 'crap' in a recent video, in which he insists he will be going ahead with his planned US tour. 

'I just want to let all of my fans out there know that despite all of the crap y’all hearing I will be coming to the east coast to do my show.'

'And believe me, y’all, it’s a bunch of crap.'

'All right, so I hope to see y'all there. I love y'all.'

The video, posted to Twitter shows the rapper in grainy lighting. 

'We can only wonder why folks would persist in defaming a great artist who loves his fans, works 24/7, and takes care of all of the people in his life,' R Kelly's lawyer previously told Buzzfeed.

'He works hard to become the best person and artist he can be. It is interesting that stories and tales debunked many years ago turn up when his goal is to stop the violence; put down the guns; and embrace peace and love.'

'I suppose that is the price of fame. Like all of us, Mr. Kelly deserves a personal life. Please respect that.'
