Sorry but I disagree SMH. Present day, there are still far more celebrities that refuse to comment on R. Kelly or support R. Kelly than those that are against him. The reason is simple: LIBEL. You CANNOT risk being sued for defamation of character or libel just to attack someone unless that person has been convicted of a crime under a court of law. You can skate around it, make jokes about it, imply it, but you cannot outright make a libelous comment unless you are open to being sued. What John Legend did was risky and stupid! The others have nothing to lose...they are lawsuit proof because they have photos of them working or dating R. Kelly to back up their stories or they are broke like Jovante Cunningham with nothing to lose.

In the 90s plenty of celebrities spoke on it but the general answer was "I hope it's not true" when asked about the rumors. Remember, we are talking about rumors and accusations here not convictions!
