who is that about?

 

It’s in reference to the R Kelly doc.

The deleted tweet was Questlove saying he’d only refused to be in it bc they wanted him to talk about R Kelly’s genius or something

 

Quest tweeted in response but deleted them for some reason. His tweets read:

“I always thought Kels was trash. My reason for declining the RKelly docu that I support 10000000 percent is I didn’t wanna be in the ‘good times’ portion of the doc, like stanning for his ‘genius.’ I was asked to talk about his genius. I do not nor have I EVER stanned for him.”

"Just wanna make that abundantly clear in a non “he doth protest too much” way. That quote makes it look like I’m protecting him. I’m thinking “damn I don’t wanna be the one guy I always am in documentaries fawning over someone I detest. So make ZERO mistake on my positioning."

 

I think he deleted it because of a misunderstanding between the filmmaker and him

 

yeah it seems like they hashed it out privately, she said she didn't want to distract from the cause and I think she wasn't trying to call anyone out just saying only John Legend was brave enough to be an ally

 

fuck Drake, is he really gonna be all wah why won't Rihanna marry me and then collaborate with Chris Brown

 

Yikes

Wonder if he’ll talk about this in the docuseries twenty years from now

 

I hate that he is such a creep.

 

People still collaborate with that piece of shit in 2019???

 

which one

 

Anyone else watching the Surviving R. Kelly docuseries?

Absolutely brutal.

 

funny that Drake got brought up earlier, cuz

Video has surfaced of Drake kissing and touching a girl during a concert, learning she’s underage, then kissing her again : hiphopheads

 

good point, but I was referring to Chris Brown specifically. fucking yikes @ @DrownTheWorkforce's link tho, that is some grim shit.

 

oh I figured I was making a joke because drake is such scum now

 

like you know the only reason drake is linking up with Chris brown now is because of Rihanna, he’s a snake and an opportunist and he treats women like garbage, no winder riri doesn’t fuck with him

 

yeah I got it haha, I saw this at 2am last night but then I remembered Drake has done some skeevy-ass stuff in the past while.

cue @DrownTheWorkforce's link, which proves your point

 

What even is the marketing play here. Like is drake petty enough to set up a collab with Chris brown because Rihanna doesn't wanna date him or whatever or is Chris brown really that relevant still??

 

I think Chris Brown is sadly still relevant. I went to a restaurant the other day and like half the music that played was by him which made me never want to go back there

 

He’s absolutely relevant

 

I think enough time has passed that he's still relevant and people aren't quite at the same level of fuck Chris Brown, he was at the Kris Jenner/Kardashian Christmas party
It absolutely shouldn't be, what he did to Rihanna and Karrueche is unconscionable

 

this is from 2010 but still yikes

 

why is everyone gunning for him

 

Yeesh

 

I’m definitely afraid that because he died we will have to hear about him forever.

 

Sadly, Chris Brown is in the class of artists like R. Kelly who are seemingly untouchable. You look at their Spotify numbers and they’re huge.
