When R. Kelly is trending on Twitter, one can only hope it’s because he released a third remix to Ignition.
That wasn’t the case on Monday, sadly, as social media users instead discovered that the R&B star was accused of being the “puppet master” of an abusive sex cult.
While many were repulsed, few were surprised to learn that the Trapped In A Closet performer was accused of having six young women living with him in his Atlanta and Chicago homes and controlling their every move.

Needless to say, the allegations ignited a maelstrom of outrage — not just aimed at Kelly, but at his fans and the music industry for continuing to support an alleged predator.
