R. Kelly Accused Of More Underaged Inappropriateness

Who didn’t R. Kelly have sex with? This man has probably nailed everything not nailed down. No matter how old it was. Would you believe it? Allegedly, there’s even more untold tales of R. Kelly and the underaged. Everyone from his brothers to his backup singers are pointing the finger at him. Claiming that Kelly even banged a then 15-year-old R&B singer Aaliyah on a tour bus while everyone watched. Sex with a 15-year-old is considered pretty heinous for everyone that hasn’t deleted the moral compass app on their iPhone. But sleeping with a 15-year-old and writing her hit song “Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number” is a serial pisser taunting the police.

R. Kelly has faced a series of allegations of sexual misconduct with underage girls, and now a former backup singer has a new one — that the then-27-year-old singer had sex with a 15-year-old Aaliyah while on a tour bus filled with entourage members.

The claim was made in a Lifetime docuseries called Surviving R. Kelly, which delves into the decades of claims made against the R&B singer. In the premiere episode this week, backup singer Jovante Cunningham claimed that she witnessed the singer having a number of sexual encounters with underage girls, People magazine reported. Cunningham descried how R. Kelly took Aaliyah under his wing when she was 12 years old, including writing her breakout hit “Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number.” But the relationship turned physical after a few years, the former backup singer claimed.

She noted that there was not much privacy on the tour bus, and one day a group of people was hanging out when a door flew open and they could see R. Kelly having sex with the underage singer. Cunningham said the memory was traumatic to her.

“Things that an adult should not be doing with a child,” she said, adding, “I can’t stress to you how people are still suffering behind things that went on 20 years ago.”

I believe R. Kelly only got away because GoPro wasn’t around yet. Had he played the same game of watersports with the very, very young lady while recording in 4K he’d probably be playing cards with Cosby right now. Maybe he’s a monster, maybe it’s all just one big misunderstanding. I don’t think the most recent women claiming he’s running a sex cult helps his case at all, but he’s innocent until he runs out of hush money.
