00:00In a recent feature in New York Magazine, R. Kelly was asked about his alleged sex crimes.
00:07Now, Kels downright denied the allegations, blaming them on his fame and on disgruntled
00:12individuals he fired from his inner circle. But when asked, do you have a sexual attraction to
00:17underage girls, he responded, that's a rumor that comes from the earth, like all rumors.
00:21Like, I thought rumors came from haters personally, but whatever. He continued, no, it's not true.
00:26I love women, period. If I wasn't a celebrity, people wouldn't be saying these things about me.
00:31All right, on the count of three, are we going to slay or shade this one? One, two, three.
00:35Shade, slay, shade. Okay, Kim, I'm going to start with you. Why is it a shade?
00:39Well, first of all, he said it comes from the earth. I was listening to him until he said it comes from the earth.
00:44No, what comes from the earth is that weed he smoked before he answered.
00:47That is very true. And that stimulated the experience he felt.
00:52Yeah, because I tried to holler at him. He couldn't even see me. He couldn't, he couldn't, yeah.
00:58I want to know more about that.
01:00Oh, hey, y'all stand for a minute.
01:02Maybe that's an after show.
01:05I don't know about that one. I don't know, R. I've been knowing him for many, many, many years.
01:10When he was with the group MCM, MGM.
01:13Oh, wow.
01:14Yeah, he wasn't even R. Kelly.
01:15Yeah.
01:15Okay, all right. Okay, we're going to get that story a little bit later.
01:19Later.
01:20Poe, you slayed it? Talk to me.
01:21Let me just explain myself, okay?
01:23Yes, give me an explanation.
01:24Because everybody knows, you know, don't look at me like that.
01:26Because I'm looking at you. We brought that in beach.
01:28No, I'm just.
01:29You tried to holler at you.
01:30No, no, I'm just.
01:32You like a little you.
01:34Okay.
01:35No, I'm not condoning his actions and what.
01:38The comment was just so original.
01:40Like, the rumor came from the earth.
01:42He's a writer. That's like a dope line, I thought.
01:45You know, like, who says that? R. Kelly.
01:48Yeah, and they probably listened to what he said to him.
01:49It was like, you're right, R. You're right.
01:51Because they're all smoking from the earth.
01:52We're just going to pretend like that video never happened.
01:54No.
01:54We're just going to pretend like, okay, all right, all right.
01:57But he won them over.
01:58He knows. He knows.
01:59He was like, what?
02:01He won them over.
02:02Yeah, well, you know, I mean.
02:03Go in.
02:04Let's hear it.
02:04And the thing is, you know, I read the article and that snippet went viral.
02:09So I was like, all right, let me see what R. Kelly had to say.
02:10Because no one has really.
02:12His PR has been well at shutting that stuff down.
02:15That response, though, like, it came from the earth.
02:18He might as well say earth with an F.
02:20He wasn't prepped.
02:20With an F. He might as well said earth, you know what I'm saying?
02:22Because that way it would have made more sense.
02:24But my thing is, you could just say, you know, no comment.
02:27Maybe he said, let's move on.
02:29So he kind of did, no shade, no teeth, kind of say, like, I've moved on from that.
02:35So maybe he's not into that.
02:37No, he could have said anything else but that.
02:39That caused a whole controversy.
02:41It brought everything.
02:42It created more questions.
02:44Yeah, it created more questions.
02:45Because you didn't really handle it.
02:46Exactly.
02:47He should have said no comment.
02:48I need you to be quiet.
02:49We're going to put you in a little schoolgirl dress in a minute.
02:51And I'm going to post you on his Facebook.
02:54I got another one for you.
02:56Oh, please don't.
02:58Please don't.
02:58I don't want to get beat on.
03:00Well, we're going to move on.
03:01Oh, oh, oh.
