R.Kelly Deserves More Than Just 3 Grammy Awards, True or False | Let’s Discuss

R&B singer Robert Kelly better known as R.Kelly is called the King of R&B and it’s without a doubt that he truly deserves that title. R.Kelly is arguably one of the most talented musician of our time. When you mention great musicians of our century, his name would definitely be there. R.Kelly is not just a musician but he is also an award winning songwriter who has written several hit songs for a lot of musicians like the legendary Michael Jackson.

R.Kelly single-handedly reshaped and reformed the modern R&B that we listen to today. His ingeniuty is out of this world and his sweet melodious voice is one that captivated even the hearts of men not just women. Off course he was the ladies man as he mostly sang about Love, Sex, Party, Life and God. He is still the only artiste till date who is successfull in both the secular and gospel music. His talents and creativity knows no bounds which saw him carting away several awards during his early career.

 He has worked with top legendary musicians like Jay-Z, Michael Jackson, Diddy and the Notorious B.I.G. Billboard dubbed R.Kelly “The Most Successful Artist in R&B History” and also “The Most Successful R&B/Hip-Hop Artist of the Past 25 Years (1985-2010).” In addition, the Recording Industry Association of America placed R.Kelly on the top 50 best-selling list: He’s released 12 solo albums and sold more than 100 million records. With all these achievement in his career he has failed to dublicate it with the Grammys which is actually the biggest music award in America and the world. He won only 3 Grammy Awards with 25 nominations with his inspirational song “I Belief I Can Fly” in 1998

Why will someone who is as talented as he is have won only just three Grammy Awards. This thoughts has led me to dig deeper into what would have happened with him and his career, because since 1998 he has never won a Grammy till date. Too me that’s very unfair to the King of R&B when other artistes who are not even up to his status or achievements have won more than 5 Grammy Awards in different year span. I did my research and I found out reasons that would have caused his Grammy Awards drought.

• He was accused of child molestation of having a sexual act with a 13 year old girl in a video
• He allegedly got married to the late Aaliyah when she was just 15 years old
• He promoted sex in his videos, songs and lyrics and was even tagged the Sex King
• He had so many sexcapade with several women during his A-days
• He was charged to court by a lot of underage girls of having sexual relationship with them
• He was a Black American and he wasn’t spared the benefit of doubt but was crusified without a proof

All these accusation leveled against him, he has continuously denied any involvement or having any sexual relationship with those underaged girls. The court has not yet convicted him but everyday different evidence are been brought against him. The case is still in court and it’s wrong for the Grammy to punish him of what he rightfully deserves because of his allegations. I strongly belief R.Kelly deserves more than 3 Grammys and for more than just one song because he is a living legend who has impacted immensely to the growth of R&B.
What do you think of R.Kelly winning just 3 Grammy Award in his successfull music career. If Michael Jackson can win (13 Grammys), Beyonce (20 Grammys) and Jay Z (21 Grammys) then why is the King of R&B lagging behind with just 3 awards. This is very unfair to a music maestro and legend who is a mentor to so many of these new school artistes. Share your thoughts with us below, we would love to hear your views.
