The Verzus Instagram Live battle between Ludacris and Nelly went down on Saturday (May 16). At the start of event, Luda had some extra time on his hands while Nelly wrestled with some technical issues.
He previewed two new songs: “Silence Of The Lambs” featuring production from Timbaland and a verse from Lil Wayne and another track with vocals from Chance The Rapper on the hook. It was the former that raised a few eyebrows.
During a recent interview with Atlanta radio station V103, he addressed the backlash he received from the line, “I love R. Kelly but around my daughters, I’m not comfortable.”
“Sometimes when you speak on records, you speakin’ like it’s just me and you having a conversation,” he explained. “But you just speaking, and just being honest. I saw that a lot of people kind of misconstrued or just didn’t understand what I’m saying.”
Kelly, of course, is currently locked up on several felony sex crime charges. Last August, the embattled R&B star pleaded not guilty to a five-count indictment and was promptly denied bail.
The indictment comes out of the Eastern District of New York and includes several violations of the Mann Act — which prohibits the transportation of anyone across state lines for illicit sexual purposes — and allegations of forced labor as well as kidnapping and racketeering. The New York indictment is separate from another 13-count indictment in Illinois federal court.
10 Songs Nelly Should Have Played During His Verzuz Battle With Ludacris
Since the coronavirus pandemic started making its way across the globe, Kelly has attempted to get out of prison three times. But unlike Tekashi 6ix9ine, who was granted a compassionate release from prison last month, Kelly remains behind bars.
Luda should’ve said ” Eat a dick. I said what I said. Deal with it.” Why does everyone capitulate to these losers on social media? It’s not like he’s gonna lose fans, in fact he might even gain a few.
What controversy? Plenty of people have the same opinion. R. Kelly made good music but would never let him near my daughter.
Lol somehow they find a way to bring up 69 in this article. Proof that he’s the new King of Rap. Also, Kelly is a sexual deviant who I’d never shake hands with, but Ignition still slaps hard af.
He’s in the industry. He knows what went down like every other person in it who claimed to be shocked when the avalanche came down on him.
Kells greatest R&B signer ever period hands down. Might be a creep but music wise no one can touch him.
except a 12yo girl
” I saw that a lot of people kind of misconstrued or just didn’t understand what I’m saying.” – Who? People the the comprehension skills of a gnat?
