R. Kelly has been seen as a child predator by some after his previous case and recent news from The National Enquirer gave fuel to that fire. The Enquirer recently printed a report, stating that police searched Kelly’s home in search of a missing 17-year-old girl. Now, R. Kelly’s reps are responding to these allegations with a statement.
“A wildly exaggerated and inaccurate report has been circulating on the Internet that Olympia Fields police showed up at R. Kelly’s house with a search warrant just before the singer left for his three-week concert tour in Africa last month and then searched the place looking for a missing 17-year-old girl,” the rep said in a press release.
“This is completely false. No police ever showed up at Kelly’s house with a search warrant nor was his house ever searched. It is also not true, as the unsubstantiated report claimed, that any such girl ever stayed overnight in Kelly’s house or that she had been there but left shortly before some mythical police search.”
Now, some may still wonder if Kelly was involved, but the release also adds that he is all for cooperating with police on the matter.
“Kelly’s attorneys have informed the police that they will cooperate fully with any investigation.”
