Rolling Stone:

R. Kelly addresses the “sex cult" allegations, the Spotify playlist ban, his illiteracy and his dire financial situation in a confessional 19-minute track titled “I Admit."

“Now the truth in this message is I’m a broke-ass legend / The only reason I stay on tour is ’cause I gotta pay my rent,“ Kelly sings. “I never thought it would come to this, to be the most disrespected artist / So I had to write a song about it / Because they always take my words and twist it / Believe me, it’s hard to admit all this.“

Over the course of the nearly 20-minute track, Kelly openly discusses many of the accusations he’s faced in the past few years, including the allegations made by several women that the singer is operating what’s been described as a “sex cult.“

Jimminy Christmas, this is certainly not the way to tell the world you’re sane, to release a nearly 20 minute long track rambling on about all of the allegations placed against you recently.

If you don’t have the stomach for 20 minutes of R. Kelly, Vulture has a look at the worst lines from the song.

Oof.
