--------
In this clip, Michael Jai White started off revealing why he thinks R. Kelly's 30 year sentence is justified, and he added that he would be all over Kelly if someone connected to him was one of the victims. During the conversation, Michael and Vlad also got into a debate about the fault of the victims' parents in the situation. Michael then explained how ordinary people can be blinded by fame, which led to Michael and Vlad discussing being starstruck. Vlad then revealed it was when he saw Beyoncé, and Michael revealed he is usually collected, aside from the time that Dr. J came up to him. Michael explained that the legendary NBA player approached him to tell him that he's a fan, and Michael admitted that seeing someone that he looked up to in-person caught him off guard. Michael went on to detail the times he met down-to-earth celebrities, including Matt Damon and Shaq, and Michael stated that he can identify with both.

![The Case Against R. Kelly: Jim DeRogatis in Conversation [CC]](/img/1.gif)
100% strongly agree... The parents should also be charged for Child Neglect
Exactly I said the same thing too about the parents I've been waiting for that n**** to get locked up about them grown ass women I don't really give a damn about but I did want him to get locked up for them damn children
It would probably be about 3 parents. Most of these lil girls were sneaking around without parents knowledge, even running away
Lit🔥🔥
Thank u!!!! This is why in my culture they are so strict about university and education and keeping girls into books and never chasing fame and delusion!
The parents willing gave there kids to him...my opinion had to be lying
Jai’s push back about the vulnerable parents is ridiculous, it don’t matter who tf it is. You don’t leave your kids alone with strangers.
Real talk.
Nah he jus sayin wats real thats exactly how some mfs be..dumb af
It's not ridiculous he just told you how his mother was doing the same thing some what so how you saying it's ridiculous? And he's also saying you don't leave your kids with a stranger so wtf you seeing?
@Jay Brim
Just because his mom was doing it dont make him right.
My sister do it. Still wrong. I disagree with most of the things Michael say. If he feel like dat about r kelly ask him do he feel the same way about jayz? About Diddy? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
No
@@JOHN-zl5kw when tf he EVERY agreed with what he did? 🤔Y'all mf just be on here talking
It’s the fact that the parents was getting paid for the shit is the reason they need some jail time. They was pimping their daughters.
Speak that truth! Yes!
Unless R. Kelly told them personally, "Here's some money, I'm going to rape your daughter.", they actually did nothing wrong. They could easily argue that they had no idea, they just thought he would make their child famous or give them a record deal. You simpletons are barking up the wrong tree with the parents. It's a dead end.
His label was hiding his tracks too the man can’t read or write
It's crazy how most abuse start with bad parenting or lack of.
Lit🔥🔥
Is so good to hear a celebrity speak the truth when it comes to your kids and protecting them money's not everything
This is the first time Michael Jai White said something that I emphatically disagree with. Big ups to Vlad for recognizing that the parents where culpable for their corrosion.
💯
no cap
1st time for everything bud, you’ll be aii
Exactly straight biased trash. In no way based on the unforced relationships where Kelly was the limelight breadwinner should he be in jail. MJW Jerk for this
They are...soooo. That doesnt excuse Kelly from being who he is.
Parents definitely should be held accountable period
Agree!
Exactly cuz there is no way in Hell I'm leaving my underage child with someone who I know has a history of messing with minors. The proof was in him marrying Aaliyah. Even if there was no proof, the rumors alone coupled with the fact you shouldn't leave your children with strangers were enough to stay away from an alleged Predator.
Regardless, that grown man should have known better
@@rcd954 yep all hold some responsibility
@@rcd954 I agree 💯 but the parents should be held accountable because I never left my kids alone with family members. Just because that person's famous doesn't mean nothing .
The parent of a minor bears some responsibility if they let their daughter spend the night at some man’s house let alone two weeks. That’s crazy.
Fym bear some THEY BEARS IT ALL🙄 I could tell you ain't a parent 😂🤣 IT FALLS ON THE PARENTS OR SHOULD 🤦🏾♂️
@@jaybrim4420 Paul was leaving room for benefit of the doubt like the courts did.
@@jaybrim4420 Wrong. While I do feel the bulk of the responsibility falls on Kelly the parents bear some of the responsibility. Kelly ultimately committed the acts of abuse. While I understand the whole celebrity dynamic there is no way I’m letting on of my three minor daughters spend any time alone with an adult man no matter who he is. That’s totally irresponsible. The only way I can see a parent going to prison over this is if they knowingly allowed one of their children to be the subject of this abuse.
@@pmh1nic mf so you think these parents wasn't pimping the kids out 🙄 you sound stupid ASF ...yea it's on r Kelly but how tf can he get to the kids without THE PARENTS KNOWING 🙄 LIKE I SAID I COULD TELL YOU AINT A PARENT so chill 😭💯
Lit🔥🔥
I agree that the parents should also be charged but it's like White said it doesn't negate what R.Kelly did
No it doesn’t but it does say, he definitely didn’t do it by himself & to a degree, some of the girls were brought to him
@@zachariasj2120 Predators always find a way
it like the people are protecting the parents with "Giving Them Get Out Of Jail Free Cards with "Well maybe they didn't know about R Kelly and his ways😡🤬🤬"'but you drop off your 14-16 years old by herself" with no adult supervision and all the parents needs to be charged with reckless endangered and child abandonment to a minor under 17 years old and the needs to do from 2-5 years in jail with no early parole 🤔🤔🤔
Any parent who even considers "selling" their child, does not give a fk about the consequences, they see financial gain and nothing else.
Dawg , agreed , some dirty scumbag goes near my little girl no amount of money , not 100 mil , would keep me quiet , I’d kill the fucker without blinking , those parents are as bad as R Kelly and deserve jail just like him
There are laws on the books covering criminal neglect and dereliction of duty. Vlad is making a point in the right direction about these lazy, checked-out, defective parents.
Kelly, who has been in custody for much of the time since he was formally charged in 2019, was convicted on one count of racketeering and eight counts of violating the Mann Act, the law that bars transporting people across state lines "for any immoral purpose."
I do not know why they keeping saying ch1ld abuse or s3xual assault.
@@leesimmons8856 But the funny thing about is R Kelly wasn't transporting anyone most went to his concerts on they're own and Azrial mother drove her at times so that's not going to hold water in the supreme court.
My sister was one of them. My parents and I had to literally take my sister's children away from her so that they can have a chance at a normal and protected life. In doing so, I wasn't able to get married and have children of my own because I was too busy raising her children. It also led to my mother dying prematurely in dealing with the stress. The children weren't the only victims. 'Parents' like this can destroy the lives of an entire family.
I understand what vlad is talking about with people and TV
He should've been locked up a long time ago
I respect the fact that he was able to keep it 100 about his own mom
...IS THAT NOT THE TRUTH...AMEN!!! AMEN!!! AMENNNNNNN!!! MY CHILDREN WOULD HAVE NEVERRRRR BEEN TURNED OVER TO ANYBODY...UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES!!! THE DEVIL GOES TO AND FRO...UP AND DOWN IN THE EARTH...THE RICH...THE POOR...THE YOUNG AND THE OLD...HE WILL USE ANY... BODYYYYYY...THAT IS WILLING TO BE USED... MODERN DAY VAMPIRES...BLOODSUCKERS ARE EVERY WHERE...
Thank God I come from a culture where parents would never leave their daughters with a male - famous or not for a fame ticket! The parents are disgusting and negligent!
So you never had any male teachers is what I'm hearing? Because that is essentially what was happening...He was suppose to be training these young woman to become artists...We gonna start charging the victim when they get raped because of the clothes they wore?
What culture u come from? Even Tina Turner mom according to the movie sold Tina off to Ike for a kick back.
What is your culture?
Your name is Aaliyah tho?! 🙄
Sorry everyone... There will be no further comment from Aaliyah. Her parents caught her talking to her male neighbour without a chaperone and murdered her to preserve their honour.
If I was R. Kelly, I would release payment statements to the parents he paid off and people he hired to the public. I wouldn't go down alone, but that's just me.
Facts.
Or maybe that's just a narrative he made up to cover his behind, you dishonorable, Nino Brown wannabe.
P.S. You paying someone to turn a blind eye while you rape their child, isn't necessarily a crime. But, you raping their child, is definitely a crime.
Arm chair expert opinions incoming..
I don't even think the courts would care honestly. Long as they got r Kelly
He can't read
Yes the parents should have some accountability here, and you know what? I am just disgusted by how many famous people wanted to speak up on what they've seen over the years working with him. Really?
The parents was so ready to tell he truth when they saw those lawsuit Benjamin's in their pockets.
@@christianhenry4173 now the parents are mad because he's bankrupt
@@pookiesis1465 that's OK God sees it all. R.kelly may be forgiven by Jesus due to his past but those parents will reap what they've sown. They want to point at Kelly for being a pedophile my question where we're they when all of this took place? That's OK money won't solve karma I pray have mercy.
Kelly, who has been in custody for much of the time since he was formally charged in 2019, was convicted on one count of racketeering and eight counts of violating the Mann Act, the law that bars transporting people across state lines "for any immoral purpose."
I do not know why they keeping saying ch1ld abuse or s3xual assault.
What do you think the immoral purpose was?
I'm tired of People speaking on R. Kelly's case and not seeing the REAL REASON why He's locked up...The Industry is Wicked...It's DEEPER THAN What the Media is trying to blind everyone with...But, the Industry is Evil...They're about Power & Control...Only the Woke & Real understand
@@bobbyknoxjr.4387 That is the point, I do not know....If someone drove someone across state line to r@pe , the prosecutor is going to charged him or her with aggravated r@pe. They are not going to say, for immoral purposes.
The abuse and sexual assault was the immoral purpose
@@katemaxwell5590 I have never heard of a prosecutor charging anyone with immoral purposes crime(s),. Why didn't the prosecutor just charge him with sexual assault and abuse. The prosecutor is playing a word game and letting the public fill in the term immoral purpose.
"I give face to the faceless" that's the most spawn thing I heard my whole life
What that mean bro my brain can’t compute I’m faded too though
Ha😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥
Underrated comment.
@@injusticeberserker2800 he gives a voice to the voiceless. He speaks for the people apparently to some degree
@@injusticeberserker2800 Also, he acted as the character Spawn, in the movie, "Spawn."
I agree with Mike every time we talk about his guilt we follow with deflection
No, its because everybody is talking about his guilt and nobody is talking about anybody else. R kelly is not the one getting away with anything. He is being properly punished.
The parents should be held accountable, his staff should be held accountable.
The way minorities think omg wow 😆
True statement
Lit🔥🔥
The parents aided and anyone who profited from it or turned a blind eye to it should be held accountable for their part in all these horrible situations that these children and women got put through, look I am a father, a son, grandson, brother nephew, husband and friend and I don’t care about the various reasons a person would have about doing something so heinous to anyone let alone children there’s no excuse for this. As men as parents we are supposed to protect our children and women down to the last breath from any and all threats to their well-being not prey on them but pray for them.
Yup ty
Where is there evidence they turned a blind eye?
@chaka reading comprehension is key fam.
@@chaka5613 well they let their underage daughters go on tour with R Kelly, who the f*** let's their daughters go with R Kelly, they knew what they were getting themselves into
@@anu5bis927 again I ask where is evidence anyone turned a blind eye? It really is fam
“I Hate a Bully”!!!! Yeah, me too.
MICHAEL IS SAYING WHAT NEEDS TO BE SAID 🙌🏾
Your right ! The parents pimping the kids needs no accountability 🤦🏾♂️
Huh ..you lost me
This Man takes your Blinders off
He's trying to cover up people that should be exposed as well. You can't have it just one way so it can make him feel better. I'm a parent and there's no way I'm sending my daughter to a grown man house.
@@sambognosis1433 I wouldn't even leave my daughter alone with a priest.
I’m wit Vlad on this one gang, them parents have some responsibility for this fuckery, R.Kelly is guilty af but so are them parents, especially the ones that “heard the accusations”
it like the people are protecting the parents with "Giving Them Get Out Of Jail Free Cards with "Well maybe they didn't know about R Kelly and his ways😡🤬🤬"'but you drop off your 14-16 years old by herself" with no adult supervision and all the parents needs to be charged with reckless endangered and child abandonment to a minor under 17 years old and the needs to do from 2-5 years in jail with no early parole 🤔🤔🤔
Guilty of what i would like to know? Those were young adults not children. And R Kelly isn't the first man to ever date much younger woman and he most certainly wont be the last. It's just not ok because it's R Kelly because that's exactly the why it seems .
@@cathywiggins767 just cuz R.Kelly ain’t the first or last do it don’t mean it’s ok. I don’t think R Kelly deserves 30 years but he definitely was wrong for postin up at high schools to holla at the young girls and take advantage of them, he is absolutely guilty for that shit! 18+ he’s Gucci but 17 and under is just not morally acceptable
@@chrispinellas1634 Im done talking to you about this because i already see that you are following the negativity therefore im not wasting anymore of my time . This whole case has been one sided from the very beginning im done with people who think that they have everything all figured out and have all the answers only because they were easily convinced by the crooked government and they're followers .This discussion is over.
@@cathywiggins767 lol I didn’t ask for this conversation to start in the first place, stupid ahh bih, you decided to put your 2 cents in and got your panties in a bunch cuz I don’t agree wit yo ass lol carry on and speak your piece to someone who actually gives af bout what you think, you OBVIOUSLY support pedophilia. RKelly need to learn self control, I’m not puttin the whole blame on him but he definitely does share the blame, you need a reality check
The parents need to be accountable 💯
Lol yea hold that same energy against your own people
Parents act like they don't know, but parents always know.
The more of Michael Jai White interviews I watch, the more I like this man!
He is a sad excuse for a man.
I agree with Vlad on this one I asked the same damn question 💯💯💯💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿 the parents should get charged like Ghislaine Maxwell
I totally agree with Vlad on the parents ordeal. The parents need to be charged as well. R. Kelly was paying the parents/guardians of the women. From Aaliyah’s parents all the way down to the countdown. Child Neglect charges need to be filed. Period. They literally groomed they’re daughters for the love of R. Kelly money and of course, “Fame”.
And that's the sad part Aaliyah's parents could have stopped this whole thing a long time ago! I don't see how they slept at night! If they'd have taken her and gotten a rape test done R. Kelly wouldn't have been able to get away with all the stuff he got away with all these years. He would have been in jail a long time ago
Yeah, I get what he saying, but it just sound like justification for the parents nd not holding them accountable for doing what they are supposed to do which is PROTECT the child/children.. So stardom is more to them than protecting their child, then they shouldn’t be a parent…
Facts 💯
The parents saw a pay day!
They even demanded more money.
That would be hard to prosecute. It's a fine line and hard to prove
I like MJW but he is not getting the point about the parents. If you're even in the same care with someone who goes in a robs/kills someone you are just a liable as the dude who pulled the robbery or trigger. But in cases like this, the parents are not even charged. In a situation like this, if the parents are just as liable alot of this stuff would end!!
I think you didn't understand MJW's point. He clearly agrees with Vlad.. however he also gave a different perspective.
The parents should NOT be charged.
Thank you Micheal. And homegirl with Jeffrey didn’t just enable she recruited. She didn’t turn a blind eye to things that were going on she was participating in making it happen.
You can tell Michael (understandably) has some issues with his mom. He's strong about it, but still bothered.
He is a karate kickin' bxtch! Smh
He discovered his mom is no different than any other person. Like Patrice O'Neal talked about how his mom is susceptible to doing the same flaky stuff with the men in her life as the women Patrice has dealt with in his.
Vlad, for once bro, you are spot on, “Realest Shht Ever Wrote”…the parents and the (chicks themselves too) need to be held accountable as well!
What if the parents dont have a high school education? & never saw it coming from one like R K..they'd be pawns & never know it..its the music industry hits are made in the late hrs..no pun intended but it's the quietest time of a full day & in music it's one of those things that happen, ..that's why he tried to empathize the parents really dont matter, but ol boy couldnt let that topic pass, so he referred to them as accomplices..but for me R Kelly is the most lethal snake in the grass in the industry (now that I know, & just know him 1st frm wk w/Isleys..not a real fan & done with any of his music, which I never had😆😆....anyway there are too many scenarios that cud exonerate or convict parents..factors of everyday life matters to so.
Whole diff subject..theirs a reason why it didnt happen to.
Children can’t be held accountable for decisions like this according to the law. Mature adults fall into these traps. A famous man has a lot of sway over young girls, they are particularly vulnerable at that age when it comes to matter they believe of them heart. You know it is not a love issue, these kids don’t understand that yet.
Why would you want to hold victims of abuse accountable. I don't understand the logic?
@@twinqt578 speaking of those who were willing participants old enough to discern as victims is disingenuous….the truth is simply, when things go left, no longer what they expect, or well runs dry, now they are innocent unsuspecting victims?? And when REAL victims are out there, this undermines and is a disrespect to them….can’t clarify any better than that.🤷🏾♂️
Vlad finally hooking us up with a 10+ minute video every 6 months
on one hand I agree with Vlad on charging the parents, but I also agree with Michael's take. The parents were ready pickings, Kelly knew who to target due to their mental and financial situations. These were people ripe for exploitation.
Michael wanna disregard the parents which is bullshit
Exactly!!! Beyonce (Destiny Child Group) Sought Help From RK -Too. BUT, Beyonce's Dad, Mathew, STAYED With The Girls. He KNEW BETTER...NOT TO EVER LEAVE THEM ALONE WITH THAT MAN...OKAY. So, NOTHING Transpired...Except, What They Went There For -MUSIC. THANK YOU, BYE, SEE YOU AROUND AND HAVE A GOOD LIFE!!!
The Others We're Victims, Money-Hungry, And Star-Struck By This 'Pied Piper'.
IMO...The Folks That Worked With RK...The Ones Who HELPED Him Make This Happen...NEED To Be Charged -Heavily TOO!!!
The Parents Should As LEAST Be FINED Substantially And Do Community Services For The Young, Youth -Esp. The Females...To Guard Others From Falling Down These Same Traps For Notoriety, Money And/Or Fame.
Why didn't all the men who paid Epstien and Maxwell get prison time? What happened to them? If she got sentenced it means she knows who her customers are. Why has the book been closed on who they are? Our justice system is ridiculous.
That shit is so deeply rooted with so many important leaders that I can never see all the men getting arrested any time soon and sadly might just be covered up over time. I agree tho our justice system sucks
That’s another level of richness that’s why
Because she didn't name any names. So there's nothing to charge. And Epstein is dead.
@@Gucci23430 a prosecutor needs to open it up
That's because the clients were lawyers, Congress men, senators, judges and just plain old wealthy. No one wants to open a case on people that may be able to ensure their financial ruin.
LMAO When Mike was talking about meeting DR. J.
Bro I’m like wtf I just saw Amir Johnson in target the other in Las Vegas and it was just like oh cool whatever lol
Right his eyebrows starting getting really long lol
Wow!! Can’t hold the parents accountable? Sick!!
Hold them accountable for what? What law did they break?
More difficult to prove. Even convicting RKelly took two trials and decades.
@Matthew Walker How do you prove it fool? None of the girls accuse their parents of selling them off.
@ Tony T azriels parents told her to lie about her age, seduce Kellz, and the mom texted Kellz pretending to be here
Only if the parents knew what was going on.
For one time, I’m with Vlad!! Period!
Sicko’s kids should be cherished and appreciated not used and abused
Vlad - You can see them in 3D, potentially touch them! 👀🤣
From my understanding of the justice system: As long as they get one person, that's good enough... Charging the parents needs more tax money and more resources
Wtf
@@kingmathews3135 Well that's how I see it dude... Look if I gotta take down the main culprit and people are too afraid to speak up as they fear incriminating themselves... As an investigator what can I do? I wanna take down the main suspect and those who enabled him or even assisted him do not wanna talk... I would have to promise them no jail time or prosecution in exchange for them to testify against my main subject... Justice can be negotiated... If R Kelly was part of a global sex Trafficking ring and he had deets on the Ring Leader... If he offered to snitch and testify, he wasn't gonna get 30 years... He was probably gonna get 5 with supervised probation as long as he keeps his word in giving us the info of the ring leader...
@@AmuMabasa wtf
It's kinda true it's just quadruple the tax money
@@Hellraiser988 right that's why, A Rico charge puts all the honus on the accused, so that he pays to fight the charges and even if he wins, they know that outta the 30 people we have charged at least 12 will do serious time, 3 will probably snitch in exchange for immunity and 16 would do moderate but heavy time...
People don’t understand the mentality of being star struck and the process of them doing things they wouldn’t normally do for regular people. And those parents has been affected with it and thats why i don’t deflected by bringing them up with the r.Kelly situation.
If the law sees this as bad parenting, then why do they give parents the ability to "sign" there children off to be married way under the age of 18? As well as emancipation. Parental consent is more of an asset to the defense not the prosecution.
Exactly 💯!!!
This is not always the parents' fault. Sometimes when kids turn 16/17 there's nothing you can do with them, especially girls. They think they know everything and listen to everybody BUT their parents. Often times whatever parents say kids say the opposite and if parents try to discipline them, the government steps in and locks the parents up. So after doing everything a parent can, ultimately they can only step back, keep working hard, set a good example, keep talking to their kids even though their kids reject whatever they say, and be there when their kids need them because they will inevitably.
Kids are sneaky and will lie and do whatever to get to a superstar. I don't care who you are; alot of people are star stuck and will do whatever at whatever age to get close to a celebrity
Michael is very self aware. I like how he was able to direct his relationship with his mother and how she treated him different because he is a famous man.
Will any parents be held accountable as well🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
The irony of R Kelly writing and producing Kci and JoJo’s song “Life”. 30 years is life for a 55 year old person.
That’s a great song
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
You sound stupid he will appeal and win
You are not alone tho
30 years is life in general tbh
It's called child neglect
Those parents offered their daughters up on a silver platter (with melted butter). Many parents sell (sacrifice) their children to Hollywood’s Beast System.
He's 1000% correct about Shaq. Shaq has become a legend at this point and the person you hear the most stories about. I can't count how many times in the 90's-2000's of Shaq just buying all the kids lunch in a restaurant, showing up to random neighborhood basketball games and buying tickets to underground rap shows. He truly doesn't care that he's a big celebrity, and he remembers names lol
The parents are just as responsible for this
Yea but it's multiple parents. R Kelly is the X factor in all of this. And all the situations are different. So yes they deserve some but Kelly was the predator. He got what he deserved.
@@brotherLee340 no matter how many parents, they were culpable, of course he is the common denominator, doesn't make the parents any less guilty.
Ain't no respect for no chester. All these people out here defending R because they like his music...smh
Yes same with MJ
Who did he molest?… yea these girls were young but not raped.. and some of their moms was fuckin r kelly too.. don’t get me wrong not saying bruh don’t deserve some time..but 30years bruh..hell nah
But he didn't get convicted on no chester charges.. he got convicted with the man act and Racketeering the man act is a racist law.. if you gonna get r kelly get him off the shit that he did.. not the Racketeering because that's the money they want his money.
He should be under the jail. No chomo deserves to live.
R. Kelly is more important than you, and he will be remembered for his music way longer than you
Lmao R Kelly doing a penitentiary tour .
Dud
I look at it like this, if the kids were there for music then the parents probably assumed it’s like a camp. Red flag for me is why not help ALL kids why help girls? R. Kelly knew what he was doing. I say the parents should have been held accountable too
Parents should be held accountable also.
If the parents are to be considered, then it has to be proven that they've received large sums of money, to be complacent, compliant, or to turn a blind eye.
That's what these people not getting. It's such a fine line and hard to prove intent
Not only that but, it's also a slippery slope, too. Cuz when we get the parents on smthng they MAY NOT have even known was happening, you'd then have to go for ALL the others who were compliant in this happening. Not just R Kelly's PR person &/or manager, but the producers at the studio, other engineers, the studio staff members, Hell even the drivers (be it limo, Uber/Lyft, cabbie, etc), &all of R Kelly's friends & "hangers on" who were around at the time(s).🤷♀️
@@Tammy2Tone ....THANK YOU!!!! Exactly what I've been saying. Even some celebrities witnessed it and said nothing. And only a handful of parents were paid a settlement. Out of hundreds of lil girls. Most of these girls were sneaking off to be with him
@@schooltime2k -
Yes! I mean, it might be naive as Hell, but when a parent meets a Celeb, &that Celeb takes in interest in what THEY call "Helping" that parent's child. The parent doesn't necessarily go to negative thoughts about said Celeb. They think the Celeb is opening They child up to a whole new world &they prob think their kid will benefit &be safe cuz there's always a bunch of ppl around. No1 would let anything vile happen to a child (especially out of ALL those ppl)! Just like w/Michael Jackson. Who'd think he'd be anything BUT kind to kids (B4 all the scandal of course)? He's a Big kid himself. A parents trusting heart, or nature isn't always a bad thing. Unless they're taking $, willingly knowing (or even figuring) smthng ain't right.🤔🤷♀️
@@Tammy2Tone agree
One of the times Vlad makes sense
Should have def charge the parents for helping its simple smh
The parents are half way too blame
I really enjoyed hearing your perspective
I really like this man, and understood how he broke it down about the parents of R. Kelly's victims. Good down the earth man here. VLAD to me sometimes over talks people. 😳
Hell nah vlad is right about the parents that’s child neglect especially after the whole pee thing and everything he was already accused of doing they shoulda known better 2 weeks at a grown man’s house is crazy
Love And Mad Respect for this Man!
Why??! Smh 🤦🏾♂️ He said a mouth full of BS! He doesn't ever go into depth how he truly believes he is!
@@daddyfamlittle6262 Lol ikr
However, "it wasn't your cousin"!
Gooddd Dammnn dude watching you 2 in a interview with this tug-A-War of words expressing each other’s perspective a hard pill to swallow figured y’all would have synchronized this by now ✌🏿
I thought I was the only one who was annoyed by this. And then there's Vlad's voice.
Hero worship is the term I believe
Or Starstrucked.
To feel sorry for the injustice of a man that has been doing injustice to woman for years is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. He got what he deserved and now the parents that groomed their kids need to be investigated and charged to
AMEN!
Bro, it's sad you have 2 likes for this all FACTS comment.
@@STell743 no one likes truth anymore. We only have sheep now.
NO SORRY, intelligent people do not think like that. Everybody wants a guilty man punished but he must be punished in accordance with the law. YOU CAN NOT BRING JUSTICE BY USING INJUSTICE, YOU CAN NOT ENFORCE CRIME BY COMMITING A CRIME. If you start using that process, a lot of innocent people can get convicted if the Government want's you out of the way
@@tonyebiere551 Cases of child trafficking are considered maximum offenses, with a minimum of 10 years of prison time and UP TO LIFE IN PRISON!! Lol so your saying intelligence is at play here but yet you failed to do your research and comment about justice being served when in reality we still see homeboy still got a lighter sentence than most pedophiles and human traffickers. Did Gihsele ( whose white) get off easier sure. But was it injustice not according to the very law you quote. Is racism at play here yeah, but it always has been. But I’m not going to pick apples and oranges over “injustice” over pedophiles when both stars still got off waaaay easier than common pedophiles ( who I’m not defending) but proving a point. If you wanna keep going on about this that’s on you but the facts are he fucked kids, whether parents grooming or not he deserved more and still got off easy in my opinion
Michael is so down to earth he's not one of those people high on the horse thinking he's better than other people because he's a celebrity
I love when he talked about the predators knowing what they can do and what they can’t cause they study basically the parents and how they were , this shit deep as fuckkkkkkkk
This is why I look up to Michael Jai White. He has never been afraid to speak his thoughts and doesn't care what anyone thinks. Amd he is so humble, despite his stardom.
Vlad, I think the term you are looking for is,....Starstrucked.
This man basically said that you shouldn't get away with this stuff just bc you are rich, but if your poor you are excused because they don't know better and are just starstruck and couldn't help it. Cmon man smh those parents should get just as much time as R Kelly
Charging the parents with R Kelly would be the same as charging parents who leave their kids with camp counselors, church members and educators who abuse the kids. Sure the parents could be held accountable for being naive. But up until now, R Kelly was never convicted of anything. Everyone thinks “Oh that won’t happen to us”
Very well said. 💯
This is not the same. These parents were being paid. If there has been rumors being spread already about a grown individual would you leave you child? Let me answer that for you NO. These parents were pimping there children.
@@sambognosis1433 The parents weren’t being paid for sexual encounters with their children. They were being paid on the pretense that their children were going to pursue a musical career. I’m not understanding why everyone is deflecting from the fact that R Kelly LIED to these people in order to prey on their daughters. You don’t think his team around him wasn’t lying to the parents too? This is just like his trial before. People just couldn’t accept that he’s an actual monster in human skin.
@@daedevillewrestling ❤️
@@daedevillewrestling you really thought Azriels parent hooked her up with Kelly solely for a music career???? Really??? The woman was texting Kelly pretending to be her daughter.. even sent a photo of her daughter in skimpy clothes to rkellys phone . Her mom encouraged it!!!
There’s proof of all of this.
Several of the”alleged victims” sought Kelly out!! There’s more to the Azriel situation … but too much to type. Her parents are directly responsible ! They are loons! That chick jerhonda pace was a groupie who tracked him down too. 😂
These same chicks left Kelly and returned back to him. Yeah they were brainwashed. 🙄
Geez!!! Sparkle was an adult who ended up sleeping with him too. It’s just what men do… sex. No one under 18 should have been allowed at an Rkelly concert. The man sung about sex..
I still don't understand why they didn't choose him for Marvel's blade he would have been a perfect fit God bless
Thats becuz Hollywood aint shyt and Blade is a black character... They already gave Blade 3 movies; 2 of 'em was trash. Also, in Hollywood, M.J. Whyte, is like C list versus, Wesley Snipes who was arguably, A list. Its like mad racism, money and politics.
He’s too old for that
He's too big. Blade has always been a somewhat slim character.
@@divineintervention212 Power-Man?
Because he cant act
Always good to hear MJ perspective, genuine guy
I love the phycological breakdown of the situation. We need more convos like this about the power celebrities have over average people most of all young women in America
Parents should be held accountable for the well being of their children regardless of the circumstances, that being said Vlad and no one that doesn't have their own checks balanced have the right to judge anyone, we should use the energy to get people like this famous in electing the right people to place such judgement when it involves people's lives.
To settle this debate is to interview the parents.
They’ll never do a interview. Maybe that Tim Savage guy.
I hate the type of thinking people take when they equate simply mentioning responsibility/accountability being dished out to someone, to the lessening of the punishment for the criminal. To me, it screams a lack in understanding of how justice works. It’s also irritating that those people who hold that position have the most to say and are the loudest and most comfortable in their position.
To prevent a crime from occurring, they’re are 2 of the many bases that must be covered. Namely, punishing the wrongdoer/criminal and helping assert agency to the victims or anyone with the means to prevent the crime to stop it from occurring. R. Kelly is wrong completely and deserves his punishment but ignoring or downplaying the factors that lead up to it just to virtue signal is equal to wiping the mess a leak makes as opposed to patching the source of the leak.
Most prolific R&B singer/ songwriter of his generation....up there with Prince.
Prince was more of a singer/ songwriter and collaborated with other artist.....something Jackson doesn't have the strong record of.
Kelly's catalog would be worth millions in generations to come.
Thank you! People saying it wasn't and defending them is questions humanity.
Vlad is 100 percent right. Michael i ain't feeling you on this.
The way black folks criminalize each other is crazy…..this fool never seen one statement or charge yet he is ready to through him under the jail…@vlad you touched on the parents but nobody is talking about it …ain’t no way a man will allow his daughter to go with noooooo man under no circumstances buuuut @MJW look at the whole picture this man didn’t kidnap…or force these “women” into that lifestyle yet he gets 50yrs… accountability starts at every level …America needs to wake up
Thank you
Young woman they were underage a r was fukin he a pedo an the parents are pedo providers let it got
8:21 I’ve met plenty of celebrities and it was just the opposite effect for me. In a way it was a little disappointing because it made me realize they were normal people just like everybody else! 🤷🏽♂️
Were the buttholes?? I’ve always been enamored with them. Don’t know why, because I know most are arrogant, and do all kinds of things I don’t do!! Like drugs etc. I definitely get an L for that. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
I met and saw a few while working LAX security and even while cashiering a dollar store. They are just people. But you do feel a little surprise seeing them up close and personal.
Aaliyah never said she was raped or forced to do anything that’s the me too people rallying for her
Michael's just coming from a different perspective regarding the parents. He acknowledges the responsibility of the parents but he's also being a realist in regards to the way everyday people react to celebrity, too a fault. Many of us as parents wouldn't leave their fifteen year old un-supervised but in the same respect there are many who are in augh of celebrity and have a false sense of security. Put these people on pedestals. I feel there should be a level of accountability the parents should face. But I get the perspective that Jai is commenting on.
I understand it!!!
I get it…….
But, he shouldn’t do time if the parents who signed off on this behavior n condoned it!!
They should also be on trail or locked up… 💯✊🏽
What kind of logic is that 🤔??
@@deandresmith1515..
Eye for n eye!!
Definitely agree with the parents are part of this Definitely some charges
Our whole judgement is based on being selective on outside influences and general customs of a society. I agree with both vlad and jai, but the truth is regardless how much you want to deny it we are all guilty of being selective on our judgement at times, if its becauses of someone close to us, what the media focuses on and for a million other reasons. Both vlad and jai made good points but i didnt agree with everything. None of live the scriptures 100% , and even if you dont believe in the bible we are all guilty of being hypocrites and contradicting ourselves. Michael j white seems like a good dude, but do i believe he has all the answers and his opinion would not change depending on the circumstances? Hell no
Man r. Kelly forged a document saying that a then 15-16 yr old Aaliyah was 18 and MARRIED HER‼️🥴 🤦🏽♂️ I said that to say I’ve felt the same about r. Kelly in 06(when I first found out he did that) as I do now. He’s a POS and his lyrics told you he like underaged girls.
Its amazing that you could write some much and say nothing. What is your point? Its ok if you want to keep listening to R Kelly....
@@blackrahk2037 🤣🤣🤣🤣so i waste my time but yet in still you waste your time when there is a million other comments or videos you could of responded to. What kind of logic is that? Also where in my comment did i say i was just supporting r kelly? So basically you jumped the gun assuming who i support and who i do not support than you waste your own time leaving a comment🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Kelly, who has been in custody for much of the time since he was formally charged in 2019, was convicted on one count of racketeering and eight counts of violating the Mann Act, the law that bars transporting people across state lines "for any immoral purpose."
I do not know why they keeping saying ch1ld abuse or s3xual assault.
That's Real, Bro...I'm on the spiritual side of things (The Truth)...Forget people's thoughts & opinions
Salute 💪🏾💪🏾 Finally someone isn’t weird on this topic just cause R Kelly was a great singer
I'm the biggest bone thugs fan and when I got a chance to meet all 5 members, I thought I was gonna be star struck, but they were so cool and down to earth it was like meeting any joe schmo.
All Facts, parents should be charged. Because as a parent of a minor is your responsibility to protect them with your life period. And I don't care who don't like this comment.
So Jai make excuses for the parents and say they weren’t balanced therefore they shouldn’t be held accountable but R Kelly knows better to do what he did. Sorry dude you lost me all should be held accountable regardless, they all played a part.
I had NOOOOO idea where J was going with that. I don't think he's as smart as people wanna believe he is
@@seankiesling2054 he isn’t… that’s why he tries so hard to show he is!
At what point did he say that they shouldn't have any accountability?
@@i-10haula88 when he said the parents were too “star struck” to not care what R Kelly would do with their children alone, just happy they picked their kid 🤕 that’s when
Michael Jai White is talking trash!!
Bringing up the parents is 100% deflection.
If the parents of the minors weren't calling the cops, filing police reports or whatever then they need to be held accountable also.
Parents were enablers .. they should be arrested
it like the people are protecting the parents with "Giving Them Get Out Of Jail Free Cards with "Well maybe they didn't know about R Kelly and his ways😡🤬🤬"'but you drop off your 14-16 years old by herself" with no adult supervision and all the parents needs to be charged with reckless endangered and child abandonment to a minor under 17 years old and the needs to do from 2-5 years in jail with no early parole 🤔🤔🤔
@showstopper Jones why y'all always changing the age of these girls Vlad and yourself know the girls was 17 with fake 🆔's and Parents sent them there pretending to be their daughter btw its in the transcripts from his court case that Vlad, Government and the media don't want y'all to see 🤔
There was never any 14 and 16 year Olds at his concerts R Kelly's concerts was for 18 and older and if anyone 14 and 16 got in it's because those who worked the entrance wasn't doing they're job. R Kelly wasn't responsible for that those who worked for him and got paid to do the job are but as I've said 14 and 16 that's a bad rumor.
Michael Jai: “I don’t really care about celebrities they’re all normal people to me”
Also Michael Jai: “Doctor J doesn’t walk he floats, I never been that star struck before”
Celebrity and heros are different things.
I think 30 years is crazy honestly. I think 10 would be justified based on most parents being in on it for a long time. On the other hand, I would have did something bad to r Kelly if it was my daughter but at the same time, how n my Amy high school girls smashing grown men then bragging about it???? It’s normal in the black community for high schools girl
To smash grown men so it’s kind of like hmmm this been going on, now it’s a problem???
This is what I’ve been saying all along. It’s nothing monstrous about it. Rkelly is not a monster. This has been happening forever… when I was 15, me and my friends all knew what was up… and nobody told. We were fine as long as our parents didn’t know. 😂
Life is different in the black community… it just is…
I think R Kelly has been made a scapegoat what he did was 💯 wrong but it seems that Kelly is being made an example of
As a white guy with no such criminal history I largely agree. It's politically incorrect nowadays to even question whether these acts are as inherently and necessarily damaging as they are supposed to be...the moment you start asking questions you're tagged as a pedo sympathizer or something inane like that. It's not that we disagree with age of consent laws or all that in entirety; it's just that simply writing a law that says that you cannot have age difference X in a relationship does not change millenia of evolution; some girls old enough to breed in their puberty are highly sexual (and black women mature earlier) and will be reminiscing about sleeping with jacked adult chads even as old grannies in their rocking chair. Forceful rape by an ugly guy is another matter. Ultimately the law kind of benefits men as well in the sense that the hottest men cannot start leaving every average guy with his sloppy seconds when the pool of females for alphas to choose from is restricted by law and in that sense men have equal playing fields in a very narrow sense.
It is also a fact that kids are going to be born to weak parents who cannot look after their kids properly and these laws prevent unwanted pregnancies and other tragedies to some extent at least in theory.
Do I think that R Kelly deserves prison time? I do not disagree with him being punished for his crimes but 30 years is a death sentence given how prison actually shortens your life expectancy a lot. 15 years maximum sounds more reasonable.
