Erykah Badu was invited to have a window seat after headlines rang across the net she was booed during her concert last night (January 19) at Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom after she went on a rant in defense of embattled R&B singer R. Kelly.
As Kelly is immersed in a media firestorm after the scathing documentary, ‘Surviving R. Kelly,’ aired on Lifetime at the top of the year featuring victims who allege the ‘I Believe I Can Fly’ singer sexually assaulted them, the general public – including his own label (as we reported here) – have spoken out against him. Badu dared to stand against the outcry and she is suffering a Twitter tongue-lashing as a result….
The speech that got people up in arms:

After the hoopla, Erykah took to Twitter to say:
*****
This isn’t the first time the ‘Danger’ singer was in danger for supporting a villain. This time last year she made headlines for claiming she ‘saw the good in’ Adolf Hitler. Click here to read more on that.

I can’t & won’t find the words for any of the justifications that he’s receiving…??♂️
R. Kelly is a legend. A lot of blacks like me want him to address the issues and do a sit down interview. Just because a BIASED ONE-SIDED documentary aired does NOT mean I HAVE to believe everything in it. There are 3 sides to every story. For me, CRITICAL issues were missing in the documentary interviews:
1. All of the women claimed to be legally adults when they dated R. Kelly.
2. All of the women dated R. Kelly voluntarily.
3. All of the women claimed to have chased after R. Kelly and not the other way around.
These are not victims. These are groupies and parents of legally adult aged children who chased after a well known p***. They got what they sought!
People these days are very INSECURE. They want you to be just as gullible as them, believe what they believe, feel what they feel, etc but F.UCK THAT. We are human beings. All of us are capable of forming our opinions and believing what we CHOOSE to believe.
SHUT UP TROLLmine BIH. I already tol u that if u don’t hate R. Kelly like I do I’m gonna keep coming for you BIH. U have hate R .Kelly just like I do BIH. What number hair are u wearing today? Extra Yacky Yacky Shaniqua #2?
DO NOT speak to me TRASH! You are NOT entitled to attack me or verbally abuse me SIR. I have done NOTHING to you. It is NOT my fault that you are so obsessed with me FAN! Now sashay away QUEEN. Everbody knows you are a VILE man who is on TGJ 24/7 bullying people, especially me. Just leave me alone already you GUTTER TRASH!
@FakeJasmine I saw your emails to David. You are a certified psycho! Look at how you are representing your community. How would Caitlyn Jenner, Chaz Bono, Laverne C** and the rest of your community feel that you are out here representing them like that? You need to pray to Buddha ASAP
TROLLmine BIH I’m coming u. Until u BOW DOWN to Buddha and start hating on R. Kelly Im gonna keep coming for u bald BIH What number hair u got on today BIH?
1. Not true at all.
2. They didn’t volunteer to be mentally and physically abused and manipulated.
3. Wrong again. They all said he chose them out of the crowd and extended an invitation. Even if they had pursued him, he should’ve turned them down. If an underage student propositions her male teacher, what happens if the teacher accepts and the two are caught having a s–ual relationship? Exactly.
Eric please re-watch the documentary. There is NO ONE who said Kelly ‘chose them out of the crowd and extended an invitation.’ That is NOT TRUE. Many of those women claim to have pursued Kelly for weeks before he agreed to see them.
3. NONE OF THE WOMEN in the documentary were underage when they claimed to start dating Kelly. The youngest one was Jeronda Pace who was 16 when she started dating Kelly and moved into his Atlanta house. Well, legally, 16 is the age of consent in GA so legally she was an adult. The rest of the women were 18 yo plus when they began dating Kelly. Again, past the age of consent legally. Thus, NO ONE WAS UNDERRAGE. Furthermore, the FACT no prosecutors have pursued a criminal case against Kelly in 20 years is very telling and the reasoning is because what he is doing is technically LEGAL.
1. and 2. You DON’T KNOW if they were ‘mentally and physically abused and manipulated’ as FACT. You are just guillible enough to believe whatever you were told in that documentary WITH NOTHING PROVEN! ALL the women in that documentary were PAID for their interviews. They are motivated by money! Find me a woman who is not motivated by money to speak on Kelly and I will believe her! Okay! Them ain’t nothing but groupies who chased after a well known p***. They got what they sought!
Jasmine’s Words of Wisdom:
1. U chase a snake and he bite you that ain’t nobody’s fault but your own cause u knew they were a snake before you got with him.
2. U chase a married man and he treat you like a FREAK HO…Girl he treating you the way you SHOULD be treated. Close your DAMN legs to married mens!
3. U date an old school man who you know ain’t treating you right and then you want to mouth off at him instead of leaving him and then he CHOKES you…Girl you need to be choked cause u should have controlled your mouth from rattling off at him.
4. If U date a man who got other women girl you ain’t nothing but a cuum bucket cause u ‘willingly’ are sleeping with a man that ain’t satisfied by just u. No women I know SHARES a man. If u got to SHARE u need to be shooken up so that u get the nerve to leave his ass and find a man of your own you dont have to share!
Now, based on my receipts and my words of advise those freak hos ‘volunteered’ to drink whatever he poured and that is that!
SHUT UP TROLLmine girl (boy) BISH. I’m sick of this sh!!t. I TOLD IM COMING FOR U AND ANYBODY else who supports that MONSTER R. Kelly. He’ll be in jail soon anyway #Bottoming #ByeKells #PiedPiperGettingPipedNow No PEEEE for you Shaniqua.
@FakeJasmine I saw it with my own eyes. The fact that you sent David over 60 emails from two different emails nominating yourself to be a TGJ writer and seconding the nomination over and over really concerns me. I also the first 20 denial replies and the block list. I’ve lit some sage and nag champa for you ( I heard that was Caitlyn Jenner’s fav so I’m sure you like it too). We are having lunch with David on Tuesday and he’s bringing all his receipts. You really need help
?say it louder 4 the bandwagon haters in the back ??????

She’s getting as wacky as possible!
Defending a p******** have no excuse, just pray this never happen to someone in your family or to someone you now Mizz Baduh! ??

TROLLmine Rasputia Lattimore can you at least TRY and sound like me when you troll as me. Sheesh lol your husband (dįildò) needs to check you, tonight girls (boy)
TROLLmine Rasputia Latimore you can try and be me all you want (you can’t I’m 100% female) the fact of the matter is r.kelly will be in jail soon
When did she say she supports them? She sees things as we ALL should see it. Through the eyes of God. Forgiveness and understandstqnding dosent mean SUPPORT! When God forgives he also teaches .
i agree.
This is a clear example of how the education system has failed so many. Erykah did NOT say she supported R. Kelly’s actions. You see in the video what she said. She said that if he did those things she hopes he comes forward and sees the light. That is the equivalent to what the Bible says about repenting. Are you all cancelling Jesus too? lol. Because she said she’s praying for him that means she’s making an excuse for him? It is possible to support someone without defending them. It is possible to support someone and still believe they deserve whatever consequences come from their actions. It is possible to support someone’s journey to recognizing their wrong doings and making a spiritual change, or as Erykah said “sees the light of day.” I can respect someone taking that view point. I think he’s a disgusting human being, but he’s not beyond saving. I’m just not evolved enough to extend that kind of love to him, but more power to Erykah if she wants to take a path of love.
JA.. – Nicely said. Especially the part about Jesus. I also agree with NOT being the person to extend that type of love to him.
#Look To Jesus
#Jail Him
is she WANTS ERYKAH BADU TO DELIVER HER BABY
