Singer
R. Kelly has
been a beacon of controversy for the better part of two decades but
most recently, there has been a resurgence in his name being swirled
around thanks to the interviews he has chosen to take on.
Shortly before Christmas, he
made headlines when he repeatedly refused to
answer any questions during his sit-down with Huffington Post before
walking out of the interview all together. And just last week, the
49-year-old R&B icon gave GQ one
of the most bizarre interviews ever witnessed where
he managed to defend Bill Cosby, claim he didn't know who Dave
Chappelle was and stopped and stuttered when it came to discussing
Aaliyah.
GQ not only got Kelly on record but they got him on
film as well (no, not like that). During the second installment of
their interview with the man whose last studio release's title,The
Buffet was upgraded from White Panties, there
are plenty more eyebrow-raising moments; in both senses of the
phrase.
Kelly's mother Joanne died in 1993, shortly before
his first album was released, which instantaneously made him into a
superstar. Opening up for GQ's cameras, Kellz
vividly remembers his outings to McDonalds with his mother where he
would drink from the lipstick-stained portion of her coffee and he
even admitted to having affections for that delve deep into the realm
of the Oedipus complex.
"In a son/mother way, I had a serious, serious
crush on my mom," Kelly recalled. "I just looked up and
down to her. I looked around. I looked everything about my mother.
Y'know, I loved her. And I even asked her to marry me on day--she
said 'no,' but I understood."
During the next interview portion of the encounter,
the highly decorated signer flipped the script and sung as he ran
through his life story--for 45 minutes. It's a tale of love, joy and
pain that has been reflected without a shadow of a doubt through the
man's professional and personal life.
