Derek BlanksK. Michelle tells Billboard in a recent interview that even though she’s “talking about a lot of people” on her upcoming disc Kimberly: The People I Used to Know, she’s “not bashing them, but speaking on some people who have been influential in my life, whether it was for good or bad.”
However, one person that K. Michelle has no problem talking about, for better or worse, is R. Kelly, whom she dated in the past and talks about in her 2014 song “Build a Man.”
When asked about her thoughts on recent allegations about the “Ignition” singer harboring several young women in a cult, she bluntly says, “I’m not surprised by them.”
Michelle continues, “I’m actually going to be speaking more about it because I do feel like it’s my obligation as a woman to tell the truth and to do right by other females that are in the business and all these young women who don’t have a voice.”
“So it’s been something that’s been toying and been really stressing me and I’ve been going back and forth with how to speak about it and how to do right for those girls and read some comments about one of the accusers.”
“I can honestly tell you right now that I have yet to find the proper platform and the proper way to protect and voice my support for these women. I’m not here to bash but right is right and wrong is wrong.”
