It’s been a common phrase to hear fans say something along the lines of, “R. Kelly is a sexual predator, but he’s a legend who makes amazing music.” This is a true statement, as Kellz is a legendary singer and songwriter, but that doesn’t defeat the fact that he has done a serious crime involving minors.
