R. Kelly Says He's One of the Great Ones
By Ed Wiley III, BET.com Staff Writer and Wire Reports
Posted May 18, 2007 – R. Kelly, the embattled bad boy of R&B, made it
clear this week that he is much, much more than a suspect in a
notorious child pornography case. In fact, the prolific soul singer
and songwriter told Hip-Hop Soul magazine that he's the Martin Luther
King and Muhammad Ali of today.
Huh?
That's right. Robert S. Kelly, who is awaiting trial for allegedly
performing the most unseemly sex acts with an underage girl (for which
he has pleaded not guilty) and catching it all on tape, told the
magazine:
"I'm the Ali of today. I'm the Marvin Gaye of today. I'm the Bob
Marley of today. I'm the Martin Luther King, or all the other greats
that have come before us. And a lot of people are starting to realize
that now," according to The Chicago Sun-Times.
Kelly's publicist said her artist was taken out of context. He merely
meant that he is as prolific as the other greats, she said.
Prosecutors in the longstanding case contend that Kelly made the
videotape was between January 1998 and October 2000. The girl was
about 13 at the time, they say.
The status of the case is scheduled to be reviewed in a hearing in
Chicago today.
What do you think? Is R. Kelly in the same league as the
African-American icons he cited?
