With all of that pesky child pornography crap behind him, looks like the dirty uncle of R&B, R. KELLY is putting the finishing touches on his new CD 12 Play Fourth Quarter.
But there's already a bit of controversy surrounding the project, that leaked to internet yesterday. Some are saying it was Kelly's camp that leaked what amounts to almost an entire disc. while Kelly's camp are insisting that what's been downloaded over 100,000 times are simply "throw-away" tracks.
Either way, many are waiting to see what the public's response will be to Kellz' typical, sexually charged lyrics, after being found not-guilty of having sex with a minor.
The lead single for the project "Hairbraider" was released in May, only to meet lukewarm reception. Though some industry insiders insist the singers legal status had nothing to do with the singles flop.
"It's not relevant," said one Jive rec exec who chose to remain anonymous. "Nobody is wearing braid anymore. The kids today can't relate to Kelly, he's officially become their mother's music."
Sources are also confirming that Kelly is looking to get out of his multi-million dollar contract with his longtime label Jive, feeling that now that his legal problems are behind him, he could get a better deal elsewhere.
But only time will tell.
