R. Kelly releases new tell-all single 'I Admit' addressing sexual misconduct allegations

On 'I Admit,' R. Kelly also references Spotify's decision to stop promoting his music and calls out journalist Jim DeRogatis for reporting on his sexual assault allegations
UPDATED JUL 24, 2018

Just a couple of months after being back on Spotify, controversial rapper R. Kelly has released a massive 19-minute track called 'I Admit It' in which he addresses the numerous allegations made against him, including claims that he groomed "sex pets", several of whom were underage. The song, which was first previewed on July 22 via Instagram Live, has a misleading title. While Kelly admits that “I admit I have made some mistakes/And I have some imperfect ways,” he vehemently denies all allegations of sexual misconduct throughout the song.

“I’ve never said I was perfect,” he sings. “Say I’m abusing these women/What the f**k, that’s some absurd shit/They brainwashed?/Really?/Kidnapped?/Really?/Can’t eat?/Really?/Real talk, that sh*t sound silly.”

According to Pitchfork, the reference in the lines is to reports by several young women who say the R&B singer held them against their will, forced them to have intercourse with other women, and controlled several aspects of their life including how they dressed, what they ate, and when they went to the bathroom.
