When questions about embattled R&B singer R. Kelly are raised you can bet his former protégé, ‘Can’t Raise a Man’ maestra K. Michelle, is never one to shy away from them.

Though the ‘Love & Hip Hop’ star came under fire in January for comments some perceived as supportive of the Grammy winning singer-songwriter (despite the backlash that ensued after Lifetime’s scathing ‘Surviving R. Kelly’ documentary), she later clarified the statement and has since stood in solidarity with the accusers.

Recently quizzed again on Nick Cannon‘s Power 106 FM radio show about her thoughts on Kelly’s ongoing legal woes, Michelle emphasized her belief that while he is deserving of the backlash, she can’t help but be concerned about the man she once called friend.  Later comparing his scrutinization to that of King of Rock N’ Roll Elvis Presley‘s, the songstress somewhat implied the treatment Kelly’s endured to date has been unfair.
