I few weeks ago, R. Kelly’s 13 year- old daughter, Jaya, came out as transgender. The child’s mother “Hollywood Exes” star Drea Kelly, took to social media immediately to express her love and support for their child’s decision.
In a recent radio interview, Kelz was not as accepting:
“Well, you don’t really want to open this up with saying mydaughter is becoming my son,”
“Don’t even give the blogs that kind of credit. But as far as that’s concerned, always believe what you see—with your own eyes that is. That’s the best way to go about this business I’ve heard a lot of things about a lot of people and it was never true.”
In a recent interview with InTouch Weekly, Jaya stated:
“I believe I am a boy and want surgery, and the medication to help me be who I was supposed to be”
Despite Jaya’s affirmation R. Kelly went on to say:
“Even when you see it with your own eyes, you gotta know that there’s a backstory. It’s a background, that’s why you can’t judge nobody.”
R. Kelly wrapped up the interview by saying he never addresses things that are said or written about his family or him.
“I don’t address that though. That’s the thing. Why do you think I’ve been here for 27 years and still relevant? Because I don’t address sh*t that’s dumb. I just don’t do it.”
