R&B artist R. Kelly storms out when asked about allegations on his sexual misconduct during an interview with Huff Post Live last 21 December, Monday.
The intense interview came off when R. Kelly promoted his album The Buffet in Huff Post Live. Host Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani of the Huff Post Live pressed questions on the former R&B king regarding his love for sex as reflected in his songs and underage girls rather than about the album itself as The Guardian reported.
The initially album promotion turned into a 20-minute awkward interview but got more awry when Modarressy-Tehrani brought the question on the doubts of listeners to support his music versus the sexual allegations against the singer from the past.
According to AL, R. Kelly's 13th album 'The Buffet' is intended to bring back R. Kelly's record breaking career back to the charts. However, it seems fans could not get pass the statutory rape allegations, all which he was acquitted of. Kelly was indicted with child pornography and having sexual relationships with young girls aged ranged from 13 to 18 years old.
He was brought on trial for 14 felony charges by a Chicago police but found not guilty. The felony charges were followed by child pornography charges filed by a police in Florida but the judge threw the case for illegally acquiring the evidences.
Huffington Post also reported that the Grammy award winning singer wed a then 15-year-old Aaliyah. Kelly falsified the marriage certificate stating Aaliyah was 18 years old. Apart from marrying a minor, Tiffany Hawkins reportedly said she had sex with a 24 year old Kelly when she was 15. Sun Times anonymously received two tapes allegedly depicting R. Kelly performing child pornography with the second tape showing Kelly pissing in a girl's mouth.
R. Kelly has contained the dwindling of his career due to the sexual assault for a decade but to no avail. The singer still refused to give direct answers on interviews regarding the child sexual allegations.
