Erykah Badu addresses the resurfacing of an old article regarding her support for R. Kelly, clarifying her stance amidst renewed social media debate.

Singer-songwriter Erykah Badu has reacted after an old article about her support for convicted singer R. Kelly resurfaced online and sparked fresh debate on social media.

The conversation began after an Instagram gossip page shared a story about Badu being booed on stage for defending Kelly, presenting the years-old incident as if it had happened recently.

“Imagine saying you have unconditional love for R. Kelly and then get boo'd off the stage,” the headline read in all caps.

While many social media users were quick to point out that the article dated back to 2017 and accused the page of attempting to stir outrage, Badu herself also stepped into the comments section to set the record straight.
