The undisputed King of R&B (no Bobby Brown, not you!) R. Kelly sat down with BET’s Touré for an exclusive interview/television special titled “R. Kelly Speaks.” The singer discussed his acquittal, the charges brought against him, the new way he looks at life, and more. He ends the interview saying, “This interview will never happen again,” meaning he’s done talking about it since he was found innocent. Check out the full 16 minute interview, courtesy of World Star Hip-Hop, above!

Singer R. Kelly has been found not guilty on all 14 counts of cf child pornography. The verdict comes six years after the R&B superstar was first charged with videotaping himself having sex with a young girl.

A Cook County jury on Friday acquitted R&B superstar R. Kelly of child pornography charges, marking the end of a high-profile trial rich in courtroom drama and celebrity intrigue.

The 41-year-old singer, whose real name is Robert Kelly, long denied charges that he videotaped himself engaging in a variety of sex acts with his then-underage goddaughter. Authorities said the female in the video could have been as young as 13 at the time.

The jury of nine men and three women deliberated for 7 ½ hours before finding Kelly not guilty on all 14 counts.

The verdict ends a bizarre case that had languished for nearly six years. During almost four weeks of testimony, the jury heard about three-person sexual encounters and watched a sex tape in which the male participant is seen urinating on a female.

R. Kelly’s first video and single, “Hair Braider” from his new album, 12 Play: Fourth Quarter.

Musical genius and R&B singer R. Kelly has made a remix to Mariah Carey’s, “Touch My Body”. R. Kelly told us he was “coming back” but only a year ago, Double Up, came out. R. Kelly first single from his upcoming album, 12 Play: Fourth Quarter, is called “Hairbraider”. I wonder if he’s gonna show up on every major remix this year like the last. Mariah Carey’s new album, E=MC2, is in stores now!!!

The minute I heard DJ Khaled on the radio play this song, and said it was new music from R. Kelly, I went to searching! Apparently the song is called Hairbraider, produced by Tha Bizness, and it’s from Kells forthcoming LP 12Play in stores June 2008. The song is still classic R. Kelly but modern day with the Autotuner. Lol, hey, at least he didn’t overdo it like someone who shall remain nameless (Sean).

GEORGE DANIELS, MAXINE DANIELS AND R KELLY

Maxine Daniels – the 21-year-old woman stuck in the center of R. Kelly’s latest sex scandal, and the daughter of George Daniels, and the step-daughter of Reginia Daniels – has taken her story to the Chicago Sun-Times in an attempt to defend herself and her parents against accusations stated in a press release issued Monday by Kelly’s camp.

“The statement that was issued by R. Kelly’s camp to TMZ, which I interpreted as an attempt to defame Regina and George Daniels, my dad and stepmom, has made it necessary for me to respond to some of those accusations. I take full responsibility for my actions. My stepmother and father didn’t know about my relationship with the singer because I knew and he knew that they wouldn’t approve … so I tried to keep it a secret, but when my stepmother found out about our relationship, she resigned because she felt that Rob had ‘crossed the line’ by dating a girl that he has known since she was 7 years old. My stepmom was not fired for incompetence. She was Rob’s publicist for 14 years and always considered Rob not just a client … but family. And Rob thought of my dad like a father.

I am 21, smart and will be graduating from college this year, but I admit that I was swept up by his charming and generous ways, which I truly regret and have learned from. My brief relationship with Kelly last year ended because my parents were starting to hear rumors that we were together, and I was beginning to feel like it wasn’t a healthy situation, especially with the pain it was causing me and my family. I felt that it just wasn’t right. Also, in reference to my birthday party, which was held last spring, Regina did not push Rob to host the party. We both asked him … and he readily agreed. In regards to the cell phone number, Regina didn’t give me Rob’s number and she didn’t ask me not to tell my dad. Rob personally slipped me his number at another event and that is how we started talking. The Internet has been rampant with all sorts of rumors for months now and hopefully this will clear things up. I admit I made a mistake and I know I am not the first young adult to make a serious misjudgment.”

In response to the same press release on Monday in which a member of Kelly’s camp accused Regina Daniels of seeking “a healthy six-figure settlement from Kelly to go away quietly,” Regina Daniels said: “It sounds good, but it NEVER happened. I never contacted R. Kelly or attempted to contact R. Kelly or anyone in his camp regarding any money or any financial settlement or severance.”

GEORGE, MAXINE, AND R. KELLY

Looks like R. Kelly is in some more trouble. As usual, it involves him and that over-active sex drive of his. You know, the one that only allows him to mess with girls under the age of 20. But anyhow, George Daniels, who is the husband of R. Kelly’s former publicist, Regina Daniels, spoke out against the Chicago-bred singer, accusing that Kelly had an “inappropriate” relationship with his daughter, Maxine, who Daniels claimed the singer had known since she was “a little girl.” Here’s what Robert’s people had to say:

It’s hard to take seriously the moral outrage expressed by George and Regina Daniels over R. Kelly’s relationship with Mr. Daniels’ adult daughter, Maxine. The fact is that they had no problem with the relationship — indeed, they encouraged it — while Ms. Daniels was on Mr. Kelly’s payroll. It was Regina Daniels, then working as a publicist for Mr. Kelly, who persuaded him to attend her step-daughter’s 21st birthday party. And it was Regina Daniels who shortly thereafter gave her step-daughter Mr. Kelly’s private phone number, with the admonition: ‘Don’t tell your father.’ It was only after Ms. Daniels resigned her position to avoid being fired for incompetence that her stepdaughter’s relationship suddenly became an issue for her and her husband.
