R Kelly: Guilty

If You Don't Know
Contains some scenes of a sexual nature and some violent scenes.

Available for over a year

The singer could go to prison for the rest of his life... A jury in New York has found R Kelly guilty of running a scheme to sexually abuse women, men and children for more than two decades. The trial has been going on for a few weeks and it's been heavy. So in this week's episode we're gonna reflect. Chi Chi Izundu, who used to work at 1Xtra (and met R Kelly in 2008) explains what's hapenned in the trial. And Mimi, a UK music blogger, explains what conversations the music industry is having now. Do you reckon you'll still want to listen to R Kelly? Credit: Surviving R. Kelly on Lifetime was made by Kreativ Inc. and Bunim/Murray Productions.
