In the wake of Lifetime’s Surviving R. Kelly six-part documentary, Lady Gaga clearly has some regrets about working with the R&B superstar back in 2013.
On Wednesday (January 9), the pop queen posted a lengthy Instagram post, explaining her decision to pull their collaborative single “Do What U Want (With My Body)” from digital platforms.

Gaga also offered an apology to all of Kelly’s alleged victims and explained she was going through a “dark” period at the time of their collaboration. Throughout her statement, Gaga is candid about the sexual abuse she experienced and admits she was still processing the trauma of the assault when she wrote the song.
“I stand behind these women 1000%, believe them, know they are suffering and in pain, and feeling strongly that their voices should be heard and taken seriously,” she wrote. “What I am hearing about the allegations against R Kelly is absolutely horrifying and indefensible.
“As a victim of sexual assault myself, I made both the song and video at a dark time in my life, my intention was to created something extremely defiant and provocative because I was angry and still hadn’t processed the trauma that occurred in my own life.”
As a result of the numerous allegations against Kelly, Gaga has decided to remove “Do What U Want (With My Body)” from iTunes and other streaming platforms. She also promises never to work with Kelly again.
“I intend to remove this song off of iTunes and other streaming platforms and will not be working with him again,” she continued. “I’m sorry, both for my poor judgement when I was young, and for not speaking out sooner.”
The track, which comes from Gaga’s Artpop album, is currently absent from the iTunes tracklisting and doesn’t come up in searches. However, it’s still available on Spotify and TIDAL as of Thursday (January 10).
So wait wait im totaly lost here “do what you want with my body” isnt that what r kelly is in trouble for with little girls and pissin on em and imprisoning bitches sounds to me her making a song with him titled that she supportd exactly what he is about some stupid talkin outa the side of your mouth shit
Had never heard it before, but now that you said it, ima search
I find it hard to believe that several artist including her say that they knew none these things he’s accused was happening yet every accusation that he’s been accused of that has been going on after the not guilty verdict y’all did a feature and/or has been on your with him on tour or he’s produced records for them. At this point just say yes we’ve made songs together but I gotta cut ties with him plain and simple. All of these things are not guilty until proven innocence. Until then These artist are clout chasing. These parents are probably bitter those checks stop coming in because I can’t see myself just basically giving my child to a known man that’s accused of sexual assaults and or misleading children and not called the police or took matters into my own hands
I fuckin support good music. You can never erase the radio and club experiences his music gave everyone in his prime. I support Kelly as an artist but hate every allegation against him if it’s true he did it. Why do we still buy China made products knowing it’s made by underage kids probably? Same principle.
What’s your views on Roman Polanski then? Same principal
Mr. Polanski is a j-word so it’s kosher. Remember the god’s chosen people are above all criticism and laws are for gentiles. If Polanski was white then there would be outrage of course.
thats why the shit doesnt change cause idiots like you
hahahaha kells hit it
Ugh this is getting ridiculous. I’m not even a big Kelly fan, but censoring his music because some new stuff came to light ain’t it, chief.
That’s the thing. None of this is new.
hitting him in the pocket as well as his reputation.
what? what trauma? lady gaga? r. Kelly is the president of the united states and lady gaga is like Hillary Clinton with a serious case of jungle fever! I don’t see exactly what is provocative about that unless she wanted to incite racism.
Lady Gagger and this pedo scumbag should both do the world a favor and disappear
All people like GaGa do is VIRTUE SIGNAL. They do everything they do with the intention of everyone watching them. Fuck em all.
Full on defense mode, sounds real fishy almost like she knew what up.
Lady Gag is trying to erase any eveidence of R.Kelly rubbing on her booootay…her bootay! Lol all that footage of her bending over while he rubbed her ass with his bare molester hands was alllll over YouTube! She made sure that went away quick. Gag, don’t act like you didn’t let him treat you like a piece of meat.
*evidence
lady gaga says she was a victim of sexual assault. so? where are the police? where is the court case? where are the news reports? instead she decided to cosplay with a sexually charged act by making politics in America just damn well sleazy.
another great statement coming from an openly satanist celebrity
