During court testimony, several witnesses have claimed they had sexual relationships with the singer while they were underaged while another witness detailed Kelly’s illegal marriage to an underaged Aaliyah.ĭrake is not the first rapper to sample R. Kelly is currently on trial where he facing federal charges like human trafficking. The book he refers to, Baby Girl by Kathy Iandoli, is a biography on Aaliyah.

To 40’s point, “TSU” credits OG Ron C as a producer, alongside Noel Cadastre and Harley Arsenault. Then I saw this post and just had to say something because to think we would stand beside that guy or write with him is just incredibly disgusting. It’s kinda wild cause I was just reading ‘Baby Girl’ by Kathy Iandoli and the recounts of some of that stuff is horrific and disgusting. And I’m not here to defend drakes lyrics, but I thought I would clear up that there is no actual r Kelly present and it’s a bit misleading to call him a co lyricist. Doesn’t sit well with me let me just say that. It has no significance no lyrics are present, r Kelly’s voice isn’t even present but if we wanted to use Ron c talking we were forced to license it. Behind that faintly which you can’t even hear is an r Kelly song playing in the background. On a song called tsu at the beginning is a sample of OG Ron C talking. He also called it “disgusting” to suggest they would stand or write beside R. Kelly’s vocals, but a sample they used on the track inadvertently contained a snippet of Kelly’s 1998 song “Half on a Baby,” forcing them to seek clearance. 40 pointed out the song does not actually feature R.

Drake own it sample
