Claims in the series included his alleged sexual preference for underage women, allegations he kept a woman as a sex slave, and rumours that he had created his own ‘sex cult’ in which he would keep control of women.

It was like, “I wouldn’t even wanna revisit it without a professional.” Whatever got done was terrible.’ Surviving R Kelly features interviews with those who have worked with the singer in the past, as well as his alleged victims who have come forward with claims he sexually, mentally and physically abused them. ‘But it just was so much hurt for her to revisit it. She just would leave it at, “That dude was a bad man”.’ He added: ‘And I didn’t really wanna know what he did to the extent that I might feel the need… to deal with it. And I remember Aaliyah trying to talk about it and she couldn’t. Number one, there was a girl that was trying to talk about it and couldn’t. ‘And I’m not gonna lie, as a human I was tight. Speaking of Lifetime’s docu-series about the allegations against the I Believe I Can Fly star, he explained: ‘I watched some of it yesterday, as much as I could tolerate.

Damon Dash, who was dating Aaliyah at the time of her death in 2001, claimed she labelled Kelly a ‘bad man’ following their relationship. Aaliyah, she’s real street.’ The pair were filmed together in a recording studio, working on Aaliyah’s debut album, Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number, which he produced and appeared on the cover of the album.Ī marriage certificate, originally obtained by Vibe magazine, shows that the pair tied the knot on 31 August 1994 with Aaliyah’s age listed as 18. In a clip, he could be seen telling the camera: ‘Right now I’m producing a very talented young lady, she’s 14. And in order to get married she had to lie about her age.’ However, throwback footage has emerged of a documentary filmed that same year, appearing to suggest he was well aware of how old the Try Again singer was. When challenged that 15 isn’t the legal age of consent, he added: ‘Right, except my understanding is that she did not claim to be 15. Elvis was married to Priscilla,’ referring to Elvis and Priscilla marrying when she was 16. His lawyer, Steven Greenberg, claimed Kelly was unaware of Aaliyah’s age at the time.ĭuring an appearance on Good Morning America, Greenberg said: ‘He was married to her when she was 15. It was confirmed last week that the disgraced singer had married the late star in a secret ceremony, in 1994, when she was 15 and he was 27. Aaliyah was just 12 years old when the song – which peaked at number 3 in the UK charts – was written and released. R Kelly, real name Robert Sylvester Kelly, is listed as the songwriter and producer for the track, which he recorded in 1991. In the lyrics to his first single, She’s Got That Vibe, the 52-year-old sings: ‘Little cute Aaliyah’s got it,’ in between a host of other females. And lyrics to a song he released in 1992 have now re-emerged, in which he appeared to sing that she ‘had a vibe’. It was recently confirmed that the Ignition singer, who is at the centre of a string of physical and sexual abuse allegations, married the late star when she was a teenager, with his lawyer confirming the news. R Kelly penned inappropriate song lyrics widely thought to be about finding Aaliyah attractive when she was just 12 years old.
