In the past, Kelly has been accused of running a sex cult, brainwashing and sexually abusing women, including teenagers.
“Now the truth in this message is I’m a broke-ass legend / The only reason I stay on tour is ’cause I gotta pay my rent,” Kelly sings. “I never thought it would come to this, to be the most disrespected artist / So, I had to write a song about it / Because they always take my words and twist it / Believe me, it’s hard to admit all this.”
“How they gon’ say I don’t respect these women, when all I’ve done is represent / Take my career and turn it upside down, ’cause you mad I’ve got some girlfriends,” he continues.
Kelly says he’s had sex with older and younger women but denies it was a crime.
“I admit I f*** with all the ladies, that’s both older and young ladies / But tell me how they call it paedophile, because that sh** is crazy.”
“Went and f***ed a n***a’s b***h / I admit, I admit that I did / I f***ed my girlfriend’s best friend / Yeah, I tapped that in the back of my Benz / I admit I’m sorry for my sins,” Kelly sings.
The musician calls the accusations of running a sex cult and brainwashing women absurd.
“Said I’m abusing these women, what the f— that’s some absurd sh– / They’re brainwashed, really? / Kidnapped, really? / Can’t eat, really? / Real talk, that sh– sound silly.”
“What’s the definition of a ‘cult’? / What’s the definition of a ‘sex slave’? / Go to the dictionary / look it up / Let me know / I’ll be here waiting,” he sings.
The entertainer says he was sexually abused as a teenager.
“Now, I admit a family member touched me / From a child to the age 14 / While I laid asleep, took my virginity,” Kelly sings.
Kelly also responded to his music being removed from playlists on Spotify as part of a new Hate Content & Hateful Conduct policy.
Two weeks later, the music streaming service backtracked its decision.
“Spotify, took me off they playlist / I admit that I been underrated,” Kelly sings in his new song. “I’m not convicted, not arrested, but dragged my name in the dirt / All this work to be successful and you’re bending me because of what you heard.”
