R.Kelly Talks About His Relationship to Aaliyah and Child Pornography Scandle

R.Kelly is currently promoting his new album and so he was interviewed by GQ magazine were he decided to set records straight. R.Kelly opened up about his relationship to the late singer Aaliyah and said he will forever maintain that they were simply best best of friends and nothing more. On the child pornography case which he won in the court, he said when the court finds you not guilty then that means not guilty.

"I will never have that conversation with anyone. Out of respect for Aaliyah, and her mother and father who has asked me not to personally. But I can tell you I loved her, I can tell you she loved me, we was very close. We were, you know, best best best best friends."

"I heard first of all this soft voice, but very…a lot of charisma," he recollected for the mag. "I saw her as a star the minute I heard her sing and dance...I said, 'This girl's gonna be a star, whether I work with her or not.'"

"That's my answer forever. I have nothing to protect myself from. I'm still successful, and I've got an album out now, I'm gonna move on after this interview and go to the next interview and do another interview, and these questions are going to be asked," he concluded on the topic. "Can't satisfy everybody, unfortunately. I wish that I could."

On the child pornography case R.Kelly said:

"When a person is found not guilty, they're found not guilty," he told GQ. "It doesn't matter if it's a murder case, it doesn't matter what case it is, when they're found not guilty, they're not guilty. And I think that a lot of haters out there wanted to see me go down."
