Folks have been tweeting about the complicity of folks who work(ed) w/ #RKelly like @ladygaga or Jay Z. Can we add some accountability calls for @macklemore & @RyanLewis whose 2012 song Thrift Shop says “Probably shoulda washed this, smells like R. Kelly's sheets (Pisssssss)”
By #accountability here I mean public acknowledgement that they made light of & profited off R. Kelly’s documented abuse of minors? Perhaps donating some profits for that song to sexual assault prevention organizations? #SurvivingRKelly #MeToo
And before yall be like “omg it was so long ago/a joke” In a 2013 interview about the lyric Mack said: “R. Kelly to me is the G.O.A.T. of R&B. I wrote that line in 2008 when that line was actually relevant. [If I meet him], I’m gonna be like, ‘Man, I’m so sorry’...He’s a genius.”
