Jada Pinkett-Smith has
joined the now growing list of celebrities who have come to speak out since the
now famous 'SurvivingRKelly' documentary hit the internet and for her, she is
surprised at folks buying his music.
In a video shared via her
Twitter page on Sunday, January 6, 2018, the movie star and mother of two
expressed her shocked at the increasing rate of sales of R.Kelly's music, since
the documentary where women came out to speak about the pains they went through
in his hands.
''So I got an article about
how R.Kelly's music sales have spiked substantially since the release of
surviving R.Kelly documentary series and I'm having a really difficult time
understanding why but it is important that I understand why. I really would
like for you guys to make me understand what I am missing, if I'm missing
something that I don't necessarily agree with, I just want to understand what
I'm missing. So you can sound off below and that would be great and we can
continue the conversation...and I really don't want to believe that black girls
don't matter enough or that the reason? So let me know, happy Sunday," she
said.
It is well known that in
the world of music, a number of reasons spikes off the increase in sales of
music from artists which includes, death and just like the situation, a big
controversy.
It would be recalled that
the producers of the 'SurvivingRKelly' documentary revealed that a number of
celebrities refused to take part in the documentary when it was first
conceived. However, one celeb who has now been crowned a hero for damning the
consequences and taking part in the documentary, John Legend, recently tweeted
about his appearing on the documentary.
John Legend is among the
very few celebrities who appeared on the now famous #SurvivingRKelly
documentary. The documentary features R.Kelly's former girlfriends, wife, and
women who all alleged that at one time or the other, they were abused and
molested by the music star. In the 6 part documentary, John Legend slammed the
music icon for the trauma he put the women through.
He, however, took to his
Twitter page where he thanked everyone who said he was courageous to have
openly blasted R.Kelly.
"To everyone telling
me how courageous I am for appearing in the doc, it didn't feel risky at all. I
believe these women and don't give a fuck about protecting a serial child rapist.
Easy decision," he tweeted.
He went on to thank the
organiser of the #Surviving RKelly for creating a platform for the women who
were abused to speak out.
