As allegations of sexual misconduct continue to mount against #RKelly, the self-proclaimed Pied Piper is once again speaking out to defend himself. In fact, he claims the allegations are all part of a plan to get his money and ruin his legacy.
According to TMZ, Kelly says the allegations that he is holding young and underage women, including Joycelyn Savage, against their will in some sort of sex cult is completely false.

He says the story is part of a false narrative started by Savageās parents after he declined to work with them. Apparently, Savageās father, Timothy, used her to get to Kelly, but when his attempts to push Savageās singing career failed, Timothy fabricated stories and demanded money.

As for Savageās mother, Kelly says sheās upset because his backup dancers didnāt use her designs from her clothing boutique. He also doubled down on his claim that the girl is not being held against her will because her mother has visited on several different occasions. In addition to that, Savage has maintained that she is fine.

Despite Kellyās defense though, several have condemned the singer and called to permanently #MuteRKelly.
