R. Kelly Says His “Spirit” Encouraged Him To Share His Truth in CBS Interview

Amid overwhelming allegations, damning evidence and an indictment on sexual abuse charges, R. Kelly says his “spirit” encouraged him to speak out and tell the truth. 

Last week, the self-proclaimed Pied Piper sat down with Gayle King to address “old rumors, new rumors, future rumors” pertaining to his alleged relations with young and underaged girls. The interview served as Kelly’s first public comments since his arrest on 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse, and provided an opportunity for Kelly to plead his case.

However, shortly into the interview, Kelly lost it – which, in turn, sparked speculation of either a mental breakdown or a hoax. But, despite the negative reception, Kelly said he gives “zero f*cks” about the court of public opinion because he has spiritual guidance. 

According to TMZ, sources close to the singer say he is in touch with his “spirit,” and even listens to it more than the people around him. In fact, Kelly reportedly credited his “spirit” for encouraging the sit down with King, as he believed he owed it to himself and his fans to tell his side of the story.
