The #MuteRKelly campaign requires all allegations against R.Kelly investigated, shows cancelled and all forms of contracts terminated.
The singer allegedly runs a sex court; with young girls but has never owned up to any of these allegations throughout his career.
As far back as 1994, R.Kelly had been accused of having sexual relationships with minors, when he was married to the then 15-year-old pop star, Aaliyah. Aaliyah died a few years later in a plane crash.
However, within the 24 years interval, superstar singer R.Kelly, has been sued several times for inappropriate sexual relations with a minor. The singer has also been in and out of court for related issues like pornography.
Meanwhile, the Time’s Up campaign has attracted a lot of support from notable names. A lot of celebrities, including Viola Davies, Kerry Washington, Lupita Nyong’o and John Legend, have taken to social media to show their support for the movement against the “king of R&B”.
R. Kelly’s team recently released a statement indicating that the artiste also supports the Time’s Up pro-women movement. He even released a video responding to the hashtag that is stirring the pot of the social media right now.
