R&B singer R. Kelly’s latest federal trial began on Monday with the selection of a jury to hear charges pertaining to allegations that he lured underage girls into having sex with him and obstructed a 2008 state case which resulted in his acquittal.

R. Kelly, whose full name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, was among the most prominent people convicted of sexual misconduct during the #MeToo movement. The singer’s former business manager Derrel McDavid and associate Milton Brown are also facing charges for obstruction of justice for allegedly trying to bribe and threaten witnesses during the 2008 Illinois case in which the singer he was found not guilty on 14 counts of child pornography.

This guy is Mr music, he can even sing better than a bird.

I wish it was all just a bad dream and a big misunderstanding, it's difficult to believe a man I so loved and admired as a great artist could actually do the things he's being accused of... I can still sing all his songs. He must have been really messed up in the head I guess

I wish everyone can be like you Lisa, I haven't lost since you have been managing my trading account, I love you so much LisaMarkdona2
