Convicted R & B superstar R. Kelly currently in prison, released an album titled “I Admit It,” and the body of work did not sit well with people as it stirred serious controversy.
Following the controversy, music streaming giants, Apple and Spotify have axed the R. Kelly album. Now, the album contains 13 songs, and it ended with a song R. Kelly initially released on SoundCloud in 2018.
The ‘I Believe I Can Fly’ crooner, in one of the tracks on the album, admitted to having relationships with fans while indirectly protesting the list of sex crimes he was charged with.
“They’re brainwashed, really? Kidnapped, really? Can’t eat, really? Real talk, that s— sounds silly.” He said in the lyrics of one of the songs.
The “I Admit It” album was briefly available on Apple and Spotify in the early hours of Friday morning before it was pulled down on both platforms.
In 2019, R. Kelly’s deal with Sony Music was reportedly cancelled following allegations of sexual crimes.
In June 2022, R. Kelly was sentenced to 30 years imprisonment after U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly listened to several testimonies from survivors who confirmed how the 55-year-old’s act made them traumatised during their childhood.
Meanwhile, the R&B singer is expected to face additional sentencing concerning an Illinois child pornography conviction on February 23, 2023.
