Kelly Admits His Guilty but Still Wages on
CHICAGO, IL
World Famous R&B singer Robert Kelly, known to the world as "R.Kelly" has confessed as being the man on the infamous videotape performing sexual acts on a minor.
In a eleventh hour confession, R. Kelly confessed his guilt of statutory rape on a female that was believe to be under the age of legal consent within the state of Illinois. "I'm man enough and strong enough to say I did it and I'm not scare whether society accepts me or hurls me into purgatory," said Kelly.
Kelly's lawyers are in negotiations with Cook County prosecutors to cut a no contest plea deal that would register Kelly as a sex offender in the State of Illinois, an unprecedented $500,000 fine, 2 months jail time, and 5 years probation. Also, Kelly would have to release an album for the City of Chicago. Cook County prosecutors would not comment on a deal or negotiations.
Kelly said the infamous sex tape was "something personal" that "got into the wrong hands." "I mean, everyone has their own personal flick tape." Kelly is vehement that this will not stop him or his career. "I did what I did. Who can judge whether I'm right or wrong. This will not stop me from expressing myself through song or within my life. People have always judged me. I don't give a f*ck. R. will always be R These are the demons I have to face, but I will not let the world ruin my name because I like to get 'freaky.' "
The release of the City of Chicago album is not known at this time. Kelly's current recording label, Jive, Department of Public Relations released this statement saying, "We're willing to work with Robert and the city of Chicago at all costs to get this whole ordeal settled, as long as we get our cut."

Soror, I am not questioning your source but this article sounds "fictional." It sounds like something made up. The wording is off and I just cannot believe his record company would say that about getting their cut. This sounds worse than the Enquirer.
Plus the sentencing is totally unbelievable in consideration of the number of counts he has against him.
