R.Kelly’s songs sales increase amidst child abuse accusation

Singer R. Kelly’s songs sales have increased in the past few days despite the Lifetime docu-series Surviving R.Kelly, which aired few days ago to unravel the child molestation scandal the artist was involved in.

While the singer received a lot of negative attention due to the horrific accusations made against him in the production’s testimonials, the singer has also received positive feedback in the form of streaming.\

ET Canada reports “a rep for Spotify says streaming of the singer’s music has increased by 16 percent since the first part of the three-part docu-series aired on Thursday.”

Many members of the public are confused about this rise, wondering why anyone would decide to listen to his music amid the resurfacing of horrendous accusations, including child pornography and molestation.

Jada Pinkett Smith took to Twitter asking her fans if they could offer any insight into this issue:

“So I got an article this morning about how R. Kelly’s music sales and his streams have spiked substantially since the release of Surviving R. Kelly docuseries,” the actress said.

“And I’m having a really difficult time understanding why. But I think it’s important to understand why.”

Gucci Mane Presents 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan As A Birthday Gift To Wife, Keyshia [Photos]

His wife Keyshia Ka’Oir celebrated her birthday yesterday evening, and by the looks of it, no expense was spared.

Let's start with his gift of a 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan in scarlet red. The night's agenda was timed effectively. First, Gucci Mane gives her the keys to the Rolls-Royce truck; they manage a photo or three, which she later posts on her Instagram.

A video reel posted by Keyshia Ka’Oir on the same platform gives us a better idea of how committed Gucci Mane was to honoring the "scarlet red" theme to a tee. Gucci's sparkling red tuxedo matches Keyshia's sparkling red even
ing gown, all leading back to the Rolls-Royce Cullinan wrapped in a celebratory red bow.

Once they arrive at their destination, Gucci Mane exits the car and proceeds to open the door for Keyshia.

Inevitably, Gucci and Keyshia's showiness attracted a fair share of negative backtalk along the way, mostly centered around the rapper's in-court dismissal of a child support issue. Social media users pointed to the fact Gucci Mane claimed he couldn't afford the increase in alimony his baby mother was requesting.

Millionaire finds out he’s not father of his 3 children

A millionaire who recently found out he’s not father of his 3 children after 21 years of marriage, has offered reward to unmask the real father of his three boys.

Richard Mason, 55, plans to write a book revealing how he was tricked by ex-wife Kate, who has been told to pay him £250,000 for her deception.

He is said to be in torment and wants her on-off lover and the real father to come forward “for the sake of the boys”.

His new wife, Emma, 46, told The Sun:

“Richard is hoping to write a book. In it he will offer a financial reward to anyone who can identify the real father.”

Richard, co-founder of moneysupermarket.com, divorced Kate in 2006. He gave her a £4million settlement and paid her £3,000 a month to help bring up the boys.

But two years ago he discovered he had lung disorder cystic fibrosis and had been infertile all his life.

DNA tests confirmed Richard was not the father of their 19-year-old twin boys although their eldest, now 23, refused to take part.

He also won a court battle to get her to return £250,000 of the divorce settlement.

Richard, who now lives with Emma in Rhos-on-Sea, Conwy, is also calling for routine DNA testing of babies to prevent paternity disputes in future.

Kate, who lives in a gated £1million home in Uttoxeter, Staffs, was not available for comment
