R. Kelly Covers The Sex Cult & More In 19-Minute-Long Song Previewed On IG

Despite its unassailable inherent quality as an all-time banger, it’s hard to really enjoy R Kelly‘s Ignition (Remix) given the looming shadow of, y’know, the whole sex cult thing. (There’s also the sex tape incident, on which was acquitted of all charges in 2008.)

The multiple allegations of sexual misconduct have certainly put a bit of a dent in his public image, but it appears that he’s not completely past the point of giving up on trying to fix that image. Kelly has taken to Instagram Live to preview a 19-minute long song called I Admit.

#RKelly just dropped a 19 minute song airing out his business. Admits to not being able to read, says he’s broke, addresses #WendyWilliams, #Aaliyah, dating young women, #MuteRKelly movement and more. ***SWIPE***

The lyrics of the full song (as transcribed here) are, uh… interesting. For example:

I admit that I am not perfect, I never said I was perfect 
Said I’m abusing these women, what the fuck that’s some absurd shit
They’re brainwashed, really? 
Kidnapped, really? 
Can’t eat, really? 
Real talk, that shit sound silly 

And also:

I admit I fuck with all the ladies, that’s both older and young ladies 
But tell me how they call it pedophile because that shit is crazy 

Hoo boy.
