All you can recall is him saying as a young man being excited about moving the girls with his voice.. How many male artist sing about women's private parts in stage.. Being vulgar and disrespectful but noone sees them as nasty or as predators..you never hear R Kelly being vulgar like that in his music... R Kelly ain't no predator.. He too good looking and down to earth with a big heart.. You must be jealous is all I can deduce.. Like many are.. R Kelly ain't even like the other superstars with million dollars Homes.. Showing off his wealth.. He so humble because his joy was singing, creating music.. Thats it.. He no different from any other man in the planet.. Black or white..
