R. Kelly may be behind bars currently serving a 30-year sentence for racketeering and sex trafficking (as we reported here), but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t found time to drop a few bars for a reportedly new project.
Details inside.
Just two weeks shy of Christmas, Kelly fans unwrapped quite the surprise on Apple Music Friday (December 9) when they saw a “new” 13-track effort from the embattled R&B legend.
The set is titled ‘I Admit It,’ a reference to his controversial 2018 song of the same name in which he professed his love for late R&B songstress Aaliyah (whom he married when she was underage), revealed he was sexually abused himself as a child, and made many other jaw-dropping confessions.
And while the project is listed on his Apple Music page, no official announcement has accompanied its arrival (as of time reported). However, the likelihood ‘I Admit It’ is actually new is low given it hit digital shelves courtesy of Legacy Recordings – a division of Sony Music Entertainment responsible for “producing and curating the world’s preeminent catalog of historic music reissues.”
The lack of confirmation hasn’t stopped Twitter from having a field day, however, with many listeners not only praising the LP but using it to re-energize their calls for his release from prison.
The “new” music may have to serve as consolation, however, as the GRAMMY winner is not only currently serving a 30-year sentence for sex trafficking but was also convicted of a separate child pornography charge in September. He’s yet to be sentenced for the latter.
Update: Streamers have removed the album after deeming it ‘fake.’ Click here to read more.

This posting was unnecessary!! Yes, I gave it a click, but I refuse to read it. Much like Trump and Ye, these men are fully deserving of cancellation. So stop giving them attention and let the cancellation commence. No one needed to know this, nor read this post.

Along with post traumatic stress disorder and mental health problems 😂😂😂😂😂🤡✊🏻😂😂😂😂😂😂😂✊🏻✊🏻🤡🤡🤡😂😂😂😂😂😂
Knowing the man who abused you, is behind bars will help ease the mental health unlike the victims who’s abuser is NOT only out but still has the public’s trust.
You can’t say sh** about Black ppl when you turn a blind eye toward abuse in ur own Community.
