Twitter Reacts To Isley Brothers Including R. Kelly’s Music To This Past Sundays Verzuz With EWF

After finding that The Isley Brothers performed R. Kelly songs on “Verzuz,” viewers were understandably surprised and outraged.

The Isley Brothers used their R. Kelly era to take on the “Let’s Groove” hitmakers on the newest episode of Verzuz. The group sang songs like “Contagious” and “Busted,” which were written or produced by the accused sexual abusers, though Ronald and Ernie Isley notably avoided singing R. Kelly’s part in “Contagious.”

But as usual, Twitter was in an uproar:
