R&B artist R. Kelly has avoided tricky questions re: accusations of multiple sexual abuse of minors and his slowing album sales, by just straight-up walking out of an interview.
“Your personal life has started to interfere with the way people consume your lyrics,” Caroline started, before Kelly began accusing her of ruining his vibe.
“I want to talk about something positive,” he said. “I’m in New York, I’m having a great time, I’m going to go visit some friends, I’m going to do some business, I’m having a great time. I didn’t come here for you to spoil that.”
Yeah, shit Caroline.
Kelly told her the next question would be her last, so she asked:
“What do you say to the multiple fans, the many fans who are watching and listening who say there have been multiple accusations against you, against young women in Chicago, and they are concerned about your past and that’s impacting them form purchasing your music?”
And instead of taking the opportunity to address these concerns, he employed the “I can’t HEEAAAR yoouu” method beloved of toddlers everywhere, talked some shit about loving his fans, and walking out. Nice comeback, bro.
