Growing legal trouble for singer R. Kelly following Lifetime's 'Surviving R. Kelly'
Protesters march outside R. Kelly's Chicago studio after Lifetime aired its bombshell docuseries detailing the alleged abuse of women and underage girls.
Fans slammed singer Jesy Nelson of British girl group Little Mix after she posted a video singing and dancing to R. Kelly's song "Ignition" amid Kelly's sexual misconduct scandals.
Nelson, 27, posted a video of herself and a male friend dancing to a cover of the "Ignition" remix on her Instagram stories, with Nelson acknowledging the song, quipping, "Ignition! Ooh, R. Kelly!"
Sexual abuse allegations against Kelly, including accusations of sexual misconduct against minors, resurfaced this month after the airing of the Lifetime docuseries "Surviving R. Kelly."
