Erykah Badu has been seriously criticized for what appears to be support for disgraced singer R. Kelly, while the Surviving R. Kelly doc’s executive producer Dream Hampton has publicly tried to out Badu for what she viewed as taking Kelly’s side in the sexual abuse allegations put out against him.
I love you. Unconditionally.
That doesnāt mean I support your poor choices.
I want healing for you and anyone you have hurt as a result of you being hurt. Is that strange to you ?
Thatās all Iāve ever said. Anything else has been fabricated or taken out of context. – ebā ErykahBadoula (@fatbellybella) January 21, 2019
One Twitter user claimed that the Baduizm singer turned down being in the docuseries and even worked with Kelly in the past, but Badu denied those allegations, while Hampton tried to confirm the claims.
Thatās not true. Iāve never worked with him, donāt know him personally , and was never asked to be a part of the documentary. https://t.co/nRajs33Hjy

No maāam. I WAS NOT EVER contacted by anyone to be in documentary.@dreamhampton You know thatās not true. I wasnāt a necessary component. You had all the right people, the ones close to the situation…But for now, produce this āproducerāsā request or… APOLOGIZE. Itās simple. https://t.co/cgBcpPePMI
