They say “Choose your battles wisely.”
K. Michelle has always been down for R. Kelly since day one and considered him a mentor and friend. So much so that in 2010, she even dissed Trey Songz in a freestyle to Drake’s “Over” track while defending R. Kelly.
Fast forward to 2013, R. Kelly stopped by Atlanta 94.5 radio station while promoting his Black Panties album, and when asked about his relationship with K. Michelle over the years, he insinuated that the two made beautiful music between the sheets at one point. He later apologized for even hinting that something could have happened between the two but the damage was already done, and K. Michelle was left in disbelief.
Today, during an interview with Chicago’s 107.5 WGCI’s Morning Riot, K. Michelle finally addressed the R. Kelly rumors, while admitting that she was disappointed most in R. because she has ruined relationships in the past while attempting to defend him:
I wasn’t upset, I just thought it was really distasteful. I know you know I will always respect him. I learned so much from him. We all hit a point in our lives where we might need to say things to get different looks or to look a certain kinda way. He did put out an apology for it. I think it was more hurtful than anything because I’ve been so loyal to him. If anybody would say anything…I’ve messed up relationships even with Trey Songz and everything from defending R. Kelly. Hopefully me and Trey will be able to talk through it. I know some people have been reaching out for us to really sit down and talking through it, but the relationships in the business that I’ve put on hold for Rob, just having his back, it’s kinda hurtful for him to come at me like that and make up some things that weren’t appropriate. But he did try to correct them.
K. Michelle and Trey Songz are label mates so they more than likely will get to talk at some point. Meanwhile, she has a lot going for her nowadays.
She will be going out on tour with Robin Thicke on February 21st, and she also has a new VH1 musical in the works that will be directed by Idris Elba.
You heard right! IDRIS!
She told WGCI:
[I'm] very excited that [Robin Thicke] picked me to go out with him. That was very exciting for me. I’ve been a big fan of his for a long, long time.[...]I’m really excited to kick off on the 21st. My album Rebellious Soul is turning into a musical so…yeah it’s on VH1. Idris Elba is the director. It’s my first time telling anybody so you guys kinda got it first.
I took every song on Rebellious Soul and turned it into a conversation and flipped it. Kinda like a female “Trapped in the Closet.” Turned the whole album around, Idris heard it, loved it, and we decided to team up on it. Me and him. VH1 will air it. I didn’t want to make it a celebrity thing so we decided we really want it to be focused on the story…fun and laugh and cry. People have been talking to me about a lot of acting roles and things but this one will be my first time really being on the screen.
Keep that hustle strong, K!
