Published: Thursday 10th Jan 2019 by Rashad

It’s just not a good time to be R&B legend R. Kelly.

The singer, the subject of Lifetime’s ‘Surviving R. Kelly’ (a scathing documentary highlighting decades of his alleged sexual abuse of minors), has been engulfed in a media and legal firestorm following some of its jaw-dropping accusations.

As we reported here, night one alone of the three-part docuseries rocked social media and was penciled into the network’s history books for its stellar viewership.  Now, with all the showings combined, the entire series is locked as one of Lifetime’s most viewed programs ever!

    That is ALL because R. Kelly is The King Of R&B. I see these whites are on a roll trynna take down black male LEGENDS. They done dug MJ 6 feet out of the grave (when his body already been eaten by the worms a decade ago) to attack him next in a “TAKE-A-N|GGA-DOWN-mentary” on some bull sh|t that can’t go ANYWHERE in criminal court! Too many people falling for this organized agenda to destroy black male legends!
