R. Kelly: Singer Hasn’t Contacted His Kids Since 2017

R Kelly, Gayle King

*In the second part of R. Kelly’s emotional interview with “CBS This Morning” host Gayle King released Thursday, the R&B singer addressed his failure to pay child support and blamed ex-wife Andrea Kelly’s “lies” about his abuse as the reason he can’t pay her.

Sources close to the situation are calling BS on some of Kelly’s claims in the interview with King, particularly the part of about “trying to have a relationship with my kids.” ‘

According to TMZ, the singer hasn’t tried to reach out to his 3 children with Drea since 2017.

Drea says she’s open to Kelly reconnecting with their adult children, and claims he has withheld paying her support as a means to control her.

Kelly’s daughter, Buku Abi, who called him a “monster” says she and her siblings have been estranged from their father for years. R. Kelly says that’s because his ex has brainwashed them.

Andrea recently accused Kelly of physical and emotional abuse during their marriage, alleging he once “hogtied” her and left her on their bed.

Kelly insists she’s lying, as he doesn’t “know how to hogtie people.”

“Why would I hogtie her? My kids is listening to this. All of this nonsense and I ain’t spending no time with them. This is real, this is not a lie,” he wept.

“What kind of woman would tear down a dad who’s trying to have a relationship with their kids?”

Last month the R&B star was hit 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse of four women. He was arrested and spent the weekend in a Chicago jail before a friend bailed him out. Kelly is now back behind bars for failing to pay $161K in child support to his ex-wife.
