Plagued by well over two decades of alleged sexual misconduct, R. Kelly always seems to keep his career intact, and a new report by The Blast is showing how the Pied Piper is still managing to inadvertently make the most of a bad week.
Following the Thursday (January 3) premiere of the Lifetime docu-series Surviving R. Kelly, loaded with tons of new shocking allegations, “cancel R. Kelly” sentiments are at a fever pitch. However, a rep for Spotify confirmed that amid all the disgust, his streaming numbers on the platform actually increased by 16%.
That only takes into account one platform — and it’s not unreasonable to assume an increase was also seen across Apple Music, Tidal, and Amazon.
Biopics and documentaries almost always result in a spike in artist streams — regardless of context. Though this may optically appear to some to be a career-ending injury, anyone who’s seen an R. Kelly concert will know that a large portion of his fans are more than able to separate the art from the artist.
RKelly is only guilty for not being a real ass man. Satan got RKelly and he has to deal with the All Mighty soon or later but those damn young’s knew what the F they were getting into. I do not care about what the F anybody has to say about this anymore. F RKelly and F all those girls. Stuff is trash!!!
Or is he guilty of being too real. He did what any man wants to do which is quenched his need to roooock the boat, work the middle, chaaaaaange positions and stroke it for me! Stroke it for meeheeheeeee!!! A real bunk rocker. How you think she got the name baby girl, heeeah? Timbaland and Ginuwine were taxin dat ass for daaaays bro
U slow homie..
Slow wind fo me slow wind fo me. How quickly you forget that Aaliyah’s album was called age ain’t nothing but a number LOL
You’re an idiot! A fucking 14 year old is going to do what the fuck a grown ass man tells them because they are trusting. Here is an adult and adults know best! At 14 you don’t know that it is not normal for a man to just fuck the shit out if you for hours, beat on you, Jeep you drugged up and so on. Remember he is a fucking Megastar!!!!! If fucking grown ass women were slobbering over and throwing themselves at him, then how fucking easy is it for him to snatch a teenager who’s brain is still developing. You were a teenager once dumbass did you make the best decisions! Fucking idiot you probably want to join him asshole.
Sounds like you’re thot nikki a hoe is a hoe don’t sit there and act like we don’t live in a world where 14 yr old girls who want trains run on them. A hoe is hoe no matter the age, is sleeping with an under age child wrong of yes it is. Are all under age children innocent naive kids being taken advantage of hell no.
Shame on Spotify for profiting off abuse. These are the people who enable predators to thrive. Should withdraw his music for a year or two at least
Only R. Kelly’s music though? What about everyone else that has dirt or allegations against them……where do we stop. Instead of asking Spotify to withdraw his music, why don’t you hit up the prosecutor’s office and ask them to investigate?
Here’s the thing, Spotify tried to mute R Kelley but then people started revolting with the same nonsense about “We have to be consistent, we have to ban all artists who have dirt on them” it’s bullshit, Spotify wanted to do the right thing. Personally I think the question of “where do we stop?” Is irrelevant we stop wherever feel morally compelled even if it is hypocritical. There is a hierarchy of sin, a Chris Brown beating up Rihanna is not as bad as Kells manipulating 13 to 16 year old girls I’m sorry. People act like Spotify governs public legislation, Spotify is a private entity who gives a fuck if they ban R Kelley? They don’t owe the public moral consistency, the public can move to Tidal or Apple Music if they care that much about R Kelly .
His twitter followers have also risen. R Kelly the GOAT of RandB.
I meannnnn, nobody said he didn’t have the jams lol
Yeah, but they were all written to, for and about underaged girls!!!! Summer bunnies, duh bunnies are the babies, 12 play was an instruction manual because they were so inexperienced, your body’s calling was to young girls and on and on….. He is sick and how pple can still listen to his music knowing he wrote it with 13 and 14 year olds in mind! Disgusting!!!!!
Hah
This happen the last time they tried to “mute” R Kelly. His streaming number went up 300% across the board or something like that and his followers grew. This dude is iron man. SMH
I guess grooming a child from the age of 14 is cool these days? Marrying and fucking a child at 15 is cool too? Being found with child porn on your camera is also cool apparently?? Not to mention the rest of the shit this sick pedophile loser has done to kids. If I was in a room with any child molester I’d slash their throat and do the years, end of story.
i think your threat got to him. thanks
So you’re admitting he’s a chomo then Robert?
How does someone admit someone else is a cholo? Was dude holding the shaft as he jammed it in?
When you look back and realize that Aliyahs (RIP) album title was “Age aint nothin but a number”… yikes
Where are all the people talking shit about Aaliyah’s parents? Do we honestly think they were unaware of all of this? Also, Kelly was found guilt by a jury of his peers and did his time. Oh, wait, that didn’t happen. Hahahaha. Back in the day everyone said that they proved homegirl had constantly slept with adults, she also looked to be in her twenties and had fake ID. Supposedly it was proven she went in to do that all to get money from dude. It backfired. There are REASONS he was acquitted. That bitch not being a saint was one of them. He IS black, remember? Aliyah’s parents knew all about Kelly fucking her. They also said that all of the people in the doc didn’t even know Alliyah. Tgat shitvall hppened like 20 years ago. Move on already. Let dude have his sex cult a be a slimeball loser. I don’t see anyone crying to have all of Pac’s shit removed and Kill Tupac etc.
Don’t know why anyone is surprised. Boondocks said it best about R Kelly fans. They don’t care about any females he has messed with underage because they’re attitude is his music makes me feel a certain way and that’s all that matters. Shoot. I think half of his fans if they had daughters still wouldn’t care if he messed with theirs…….just as long they are paid to shut up about it.
