Recently, a much-anticipated docuseries, “Surviving R. Kelly,” premiered on Lifetime focusing on the sexual allegations posed against the singer during his career.

Many women took to social media to express their thoughts about Kelly’s allegations by supporting the hashtag #MuteRKelly. The word “mute” ending all support for the babymakin’ hits he’s known for in the world of R&B. RCA Records dropped Kelly following the resurgence of sexual allegations against him, including his music’s removal from particular streaming platforms, such as Spotify.
Here’s an excerpt from the 19-minute song Kelly released on Soundcloud titled, “I Admit,” where he addresses some of the allegations against him:
I did some shit I shouldn’t have did
I admit I can’t say such and such
But my lawyers told me to settle this
Even though it’s bullshit
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
What’s your thoughts?
