R. Kelly

It's far from a secret that Lady Gaga is a fan of theatrics and R. Kelly is a fan of interacting with the opposite sex. What's more a secret is how the two may be fans of  the television show 'Scandal,' as that's what their performance at the 2013 American Music Awards seems to take its inspiration from.

One of the major techniques of being a great rapper is the ability to freestyle coherently on the spot. R&B king R. Kelly can go a step further -- he can freestyle a love song on the spot. And he proudly showed off his lyrical talent for Rolling Stone.

R. Kelly is the self-proclaimed "Pied Piper of R&B" and he's earned his loyal following because he's provocative, bold, and uniquely talented. For two decades he has given us baby-making music, spirit-lifting pop songs, hip-hop-inflected party anthems and even musical theater with his 'Trapped in the Closet' series. With his latest opus, 'Black Panties,' on the way, the R. speaks to

It looks like R. Kelly's racy 'Cookie' is just a taste of what the ultra-sexual 'Black Panties' will have to offer. The tracklist for his upcoming 12th studio album is here, and it shows once again that the singer isn't the most nuanced when it comes to sexuality.

Justin Bieber returns for the seventh release in his Music Mondays series, which features its first guest appearance: R. Kelly.

R. Kelly is ready to perform his symphony of love. The R&B mack revealed the album cover of his new album, 'Black Panties.' The collection is the follow-up to his 2012 effort, 'Write Me Up.'

Two of the biggest freaks in music -- Lady Gaga and R. Kelly -- came together on 'Saturday Night Live’ to give a raunchy performance of 'Do What U Want’ from Gaga’s album, 'ARTPOP.' The duo’s chemistry onstage was absolutely electrifying.

Bruno Mars has already been known for writing music that's made for the bedroom. But on his latest track, 'Gorilla,' the crooner has decided to invite the vocals of some singers who are also known for putting sex appeal into a track.

As he prepares for his new, sexy album, R. Kelly is opening up. The usually-private singer shares the journey of his forthcoming 'Black Panties' LP in a promo visual for the project.

Imagine paying hundreds of dollars to see R. Kelly sing his greatest hits only to get a faux performer wearing a tacky outfit and warbling 'Your Body’s Calling.' That’s what happened to folks in Monroe, La., Saturday night (Oct. 26).
