TLC’s Chilli Has Some Thoughts About R. Kelly That Will Make You Stand Up And Applause

She “muted” him years ago.

While the world is just catching up to canceling R. Kelly for being an alleged sexual predator, Chilli from TLC got the memo years ago. 

The singer told TMZ, “It didn’t take me to see a documentary to know the truth. [Kelly] was canceled years ago in my book, after marrying a 15-year-old child. And then on top of that, I saw the tape at the studio with a whole bunch of other people, and I was just like, ‘He’s going to jail.’ I saw it, I was like, ‘He’s going to jail.’ And then when I heard he was denied I was like ‘What!’ How can you deny that? That’s just like me saying, ‘Oh that’s not me on that swing in the ‘No Scrubs’ video—it’s not me.’ I mean come on."
Kelly reportedly married the late, great Aaliyah in 1994. The marriage was annauled months later.
Chilli continued, “When you’re young, that frontal lobe hasn’t closed up yet so your reasoning and all that kind of stuff is not there, it’s not developed. But the person that’s older than you should know better. She was a kid—I don’t care how they acting or whatever. Even the people are like, ‘Oh it’s the parents, it’s the parents.’ Them as well, it’s not just one person, but it’s definitely the monsters for sure.”

Kelly is reportedly under criminal investigation in Georgia and the parents of Joycelyn Savage were allegedly contacted by the FBI.
