R. Kelly Does it For the Kids

R. Kelly appeared in a BET interview, and someone was kind enough to mention the big P: pedophilia, and more specifically the six year trial he had underwent that he was finally acquitted of last June.

Kelly spoke to BET’s Toure for about a half-hour last week. Though the interview did not specifically address the child pornography charges, Kelly was asked about the perception that he is attracted to young girls (Kelly was married to the late singer Aaliyah when she was 15, but the marriage was quickly annulled).

When asked if he liked teenage girls, Kelly replied: “When you say teenage, how — how old are we talkin’ … 19?”

Some people sure like to play dumb when they’re put into a corner, but at least R. Kelly is being sort of honest, I guess.  I mean, 19… is considered a teenager?  Well when you’re you’re as horny as Kelly and have a taste for the youngin’s, any kid is going to be considered a 19 year old teenager.
