Chicago musician R. Kelly is done staying silent. The crooner has come forward to address his publicized personal life and sex cult accusations in a new 19-minute song.

On Monday, Kells dropped his shocking “I Admit” record about everything from his tainted image to fighting non-stop allegations.

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.” (Rolling Stone)

R. Kelly also speaks on his love for women of all ages and even referenced the #MuteRKelly movement.

“I admit I f*ck with all the ladies, that’s both older and young ladies (ladies, yeah)/ But tell me how they call it pedophile because that sh*t is crazy (crazy)/ You may have your opinions, entitled to your opinions (opinions)/ But really am I supposed to go to jail or lose my career because of your opinion/ Yeah, go ahead and stone me, point your finger at me (stone me, yeah, yeah)/ Turn the world against me, but only god can mute me (against me, mute me)” (Consequence of Sound)

The dicey song has also sparked a slew of celebrity reactions.

Earlier this summer, Kelly addressed all of the negativity surrounding him over the years.

“I don’t even have a college education. I have dyslexia. I don’t even know how to read, spell or write or do math. Okay? But I’m sitting here worth $800 million bro. I’ve written for everybody. I’ve done things for everybody. I’m 31 in the game. Through the storm. Through the sleet. Through the tsunami of rumors and allegations and court cases. Y’all witness to that. So if I did that and I’m still here – ain’t nobody trying to investigate me although they try to make it look like that because that’s what they do to us. But guess what we do when they do that to us? We run with it. We believe it. But why am I here? Why am I still working on my album?” (ASIS Magazine)
