Are people still doing that?? I would hope the allegedly progressive Gen-Z wouldn't give him any attention.

His music was so good, but I cannot listen to him. It's even hard when artists have songs written by him. Even though people would say he's the "King of R&B," I'd rather give that title to Usher and just forget about him. Yeah, he is a a talented singer and writer, but if you think about it, his songs about women were most likely about young girls. I didn't know people are using his music for challenges these days.

Finding out he wrote and produced Maxwell's Fortunate 😩

Also Mariah still having his feature on one of her songs on streaming is just disgusting. Wake tf up, people!

About a month ago I was going to a friends place for a get together and this guy was driving fast through the parking area in a pickup truck loudly blasting an r Kelly song. I just shook my head and gave him this dirty look.

Anyway I hope he rots in prison and hell for his crimes

I’m glad that he will die in prison. And I hope these convictions bring some level of peace to the survivors.

I wish they convicted him on all charges but this is better than nothing. I hope he and the people who enabled, helped and assisted him rot in hell 🙏

It's disheartening that he was acquitted of the conspiracy counts. He was charged with keeping the victim and her family from telling the truth at his 2008 trial. The victim and her mother testified this time around to confirm that is what happened. The jurors heard directly from the horses' mouths and they still found him not guilty. The IRS witness testified that the family had received thousands of dollars in payments from him, some of them labeled "settlement." What did they think that money was for?

If I have learned anything at all this year is that victims never get their full justice.
