R. Kelly Ponders Validity Of Diddy’s Sex Trafficking Allegations
R. Kelly doesn’t believe the multifarious sex trafficking allegations against Diddy.
During a conversation with Wack 100, the disgraced singer spoke about Diddy’s homes being raided by Homeland Security. He insisted that, much like Biggie once noted, federal agents were “mad because he’s flagrant.” However, he stated that Sean Combs and the public should take the investigation seriously, because celebrities are now being hunted regardless if the allegations are false.
“The sh*t is crazy. Motherf**kers out there laughing and making comedian jokes and doing all the other sh*t on the radio and everything else, but they a** could be next,” Kelly cautioned. “That’s what’s so f**ked up about it. They so stupid they don’t even realize the moves that’s going on.”
“I don’t believe none of this sh*t. You could tell me about Puffy, you [tell me] could about anybody. You could tell me on the news, the weather, the sky is blue, I’m not gonna believe the sh*t. Cause I’m in it now, and I know what they did.”
Well, believe it or not, amid the raids on Diddy’s Los Angeles and Miami homes, another accusation was thrown at him. Combs’ former dancer, Tanika Ray, vaguely recalled a “horrific” experience dealing with the mogul.
Ray reposted a clip of journalist Touré appearing on MSNBC, speaking about his relative who was terminated from an internship with Sean Combs. His relative claimed he was fired after turning down “spending the night with [Diddy].”
She followed up the clip with a story of her own, though she refused to get into the details. Ray also claimed that “only five people” know about what happened. The D.C. native then expressed that she may reveal the full story in a memoir one day.
“We all have stories. Mine is horrific. I will probably never tell it. Maybe I’ll write a book one day. It’s just so traumatizing that women just want to live every day and feel safe,” she said.
Ray gave more detail about her experience with Diddy in the clip’s caption. She insisted that Cassie did a great job of exposing Combs and explained why some women don’t come forward when abused.
“Oh yeah women hold a lot in order to function everyday in a man’s world,” she typed. “Unfortunately, we can compartmentalize our pain and carry on. We utilize the experience as a lesson and move differently. If I told my story in 1996, then What?? I just knew to avoid him at all costs. Yes, I danced for him and kept my space. I was on the ‘Vote or Die’ airplane and kept my space. I interviewed him for his projects and kept my space. Nothing that is happening is surprising.”
“Ladies, [keeping] space to heal and move on is key. Gathering to incriminate is goals. But in this wild world with a broke a** system… our healing is priority. Shame on all those men that let this continue. Shame on me maybe for prioritizing my mental health some would say. But after working in a place that snatches souls… mine is intact and of the light. I saved myself. Now, if someone needs me to pile on my story, give me a call. But I think Cassie got it!”
