R Kelly is a world famous R&B star with a huge number of hits including ‘Ignition’ and ‘I Believe I Can Fly’, and who can forget his bizarre video series ‘Trapped In The Closet’?
However, the man has a reputation for predatory sexual behaviour towards underage girls that casts a long shadow over any of his musical achievements.

When he was questioned on these allegations during a live interview with The Huffington Post, things got very heated and he ended up storming out after just shy of 15 minutes, stating: ‘I did not come here to be interrogated.’

Reporter Jim Derogatis has written extensively on the subject of Kelly’s abusive behaviour.
He told Spin: “I think in the history of rock & roll, rock-music or pop-culture people misbehaving and behaving badly sexually with young women, rare is the amount of evidence compiled against anyone apart from R. Kelly.”
