@Jarrel Ely I love R. Kelly. I don't care what he did. He ain't rape no one in my family. Plus it ain't our business what that man does in his bedroom. Just like it's not his business what I do in mine. If R. Kelly released another album this morning I'd be buying it by the afternoon. R. Kelly forever!!!!!

People will never get why Steve acted the way that he did during the Verzuz. He has been a fan for decades and worked with both groups. People are used to someone a committee brought that tends to not be a fan and is just doing their job. When a real fan that has ties to both acts host, this is the way to do it.

You ever hear Phil Bailey use poor grammar? Malcom X, MLK, Muhammad Ali, Obama, Michael Jordan, Spike Lee etc etc those are reasons to be proud not bad grammar. Bad grammar is used as a joke to reflect an old ignorance in the community... It's something that should be abandoned not embraced

I can only hope you are too young to realize what you are saying otherwise I can only feel very sorry for you. I actually have seen this band perform, several times, in the 70s and 80s. I know and understand what they stand for and guess what, your opinion is not a part of any of that. Yeah.. You know nothing and guess what, you are part of the problem because of what you think is right.
