R. Kelly is STILL standing and BELIEVES in God!
The singer, (The King of R&B) has been the source of media criticism for many years…
The singer has dealt with criticism since his alleged 1994 marriage to a then 15-year-old Aaliyah. Then in 1996, he was sued by a young woman who claimed he slept with her when she was 15. This lead to two other lawsuits in 2001 and 2002.
He just released his new album ‘The Buffet’ and has hit the road to promote the album, and of course folks want to ask questions about his past. He recently had an exchange with Vibe.. When questions related to his past came up, R. Kelly confessed, “I Believe in God!”
From Vibe:
Do you have a sexual compulsion or a problem that you need help with?
“I only have a problem with haters. Other than that, I’m doing well. I feel better than ever with my album The Buffet.”
In your career, you’ve often sung about forgiveness. What do you need to be forgiven for?
“I go to church. I ask for forgiveness. Don’t make a big deal out of R. Kelly saying it in a song. I believe in God. I fear God. I don’t want to go to hell.”
Do you think you might?
“Young fella,” he says, “absolutely.”
