He has spoken out.

The internet has been talking about the documentary that followed the life of the controversial singer R-Kelly that was released recently. Kelly has been dogged by controversy throughout his career. In 2006, the singer stood trial on child pornography charges but was found not guilty. He had also been accused of illegally marrying the late singer Aaliyah illegally when she was only 15 years old. The documentary has caused a number of people to criticise R-Kelly for his behaviour. One of these critics is the R&B singer John Legend. Legend appeared in the documentary, and he has been heavily praised following its release. He took to Twitter to speak about the praise he has been getting, and how he feels like there was nothing "courageous" about his appearance. https://twitter.com/johnlegend/status/1081029180442247168 He also said that the survivors were deserving of "some kind of justice". https://twitter.com/johnlegend/status/1081027080161128449 This isn't the first time that Legend has lived up to his name either. He sent Kanye West a sensible text while the rapper was on a pro-Trump rant on Twitter, and we have loved him ever since. John Legend R Kelly What a man.
