R. Kelly Divorce is Finalized 

For better or worse – depending on how you feel about his reputation – R. Kelly is single again. The singer, who was cleared of controversial child porn charges last year, is divorced from his wife of 11 years, Andrea Lee Kelly. During the six years it took for Kelly to see trial after widespread footage of a man resembling the singer in sex acts with a teen surfaced, he and Andrea had other drama. In 2005, she filed an emergency protection order to keep Kelly away from her after saying he physically abused her. She later dropped the claims.

 

Producer gets axe from Island Records

 Janet Jackson’s man appears to be out of a job. AllHipHop.com reports an Island Records insider’s confirmation that Jermaine Dupri’s dismissal is effective immediately. J.D. had been serving as president of Island’s Urban Music division. The producer and founder of the So So Def record label had joined the ranks of hit-makers, including L.A. Reid and Jay-Z, who became major corporate music execs. The Southern-based producer is responsible for such rap acts as Da Brat and Kris Kross.

Ladies are you serious? Why in the heck would you want a man that is accused of being with young girls? I don’t care what the outcome was. R Kelly may have a wondeful talent. Talent doesn’t stop your daughters from being victumized.

If R. Kelly have it going on like that why all that talent and money couldn’t keep his a** out of trouble or keep his wife everything that glitter is not gold!!

Although I think he is a phenomenal singer, I still feel he is guilty. Just because he was found not quilty don’t mean squat. He has had to many instances of being with young girls. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, its a duck. It is a shame because he is such a musical genius.



Chileboo Said on

Why Is that once someone has been found Innocent, we still find him Guilty
however If it was you, you would want someone to believe you were innocent if found INNOCent and go on with your life?

At last she has removed that dog from her life. I don’t care what fools say he is scum. Sisters just because a man makes music and money doesn’t mean we need to ignore all the other nasty, dirty shyt that he does. We need to stop selling ourselves short.

Now dumb negroes will say how I am degrading RKelly, etc. that means you are dumb and in the low end of the African Amercian totem pole. WAKE UP! Black people. Obama, b!^ch!
