Legend is the only major music star to speak out against R. Kelly in a new doc.
On Thursday night, Lifetime premiered its new docuseries Surviving R. Kelly, a deep dive into the past 25 years’ worth of accusations of sexual abuse against R. Kelly. The series offers accounts from multiple accusers and members of Kelly’s inner circle — but only one major music star joins in to speak out against Kelly: John Legend.
Executive producer dream hampton says she reached out to multiple stars when she was making the series, to no avail. “I asked Jay-Z, I asked Mary J. Blige, I asked Lil Kim, Erykah Badu, Dave Chappelle…” she told the website Shadow and Act.
