Who convinced R. Kelly — soon-to-be-convicted child pornographer, acknowledged lover of barely post-pubescent girls — to name his new song “Heaven, I Need A Hug”? (“From a Hot 12-Year-Old,” he did not add.)
He didn't exactly help his cause by crooning to fame with songs such as, "I Don't See Nothin' Wrong (with a Little Bump 'n Grind)" and "Feelin' on Yo Booty." Then in "Heaven, I Need a Hug" he wants to say to his critics "... I rebuke you in the name of Jesus"? Please.
HA! now that's downright hysterical.
