R&B singer R. Kelly has decided to finally speak out and opened up for the first time ever since he got arrested and charged with criminal sexual abuse last month. Kelly was charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse against four alleged victims.

The disgraced singer did an interview with CBS 'This Mornings' Gayle King which will air on Wednesday. Just ahead of the whole interview, the outlet released several clips from the talk with Kelly who flatly denied all the allegations made against him, including those that alleged that he had sex with underage girls and also kept women as sex slaves.
