Kelly previewed a new 19 minute song called I Admit on Instagram Live.

In the song, R Kelly addresses allegations of a sex cult and holding women against their will. He also talks about not being able to read, the #MuteRKelly campaign and dating women of all ages.

On his ability to read, or lack thereof:

I admit I can’t spell for s**t

I admit that all I hear is hits (ohh)

I admit that I couldn’t read the teleprompter when the Grammy’s asked me to present (yeah)

On his “alleged” pedophilia:

I admit I f**k with all the ladies, that’s both older and young ladies (ladies, yeah)

But tell me how they call it pedophile because that s**t is crazy (crazy)

You may have your opinions, entitled to your opinions (opinions)

But really am I supposed to go to jail or lose my career because of your opinion

On this soul-bearing convo with Wendy Williams:

Now remember when you was mad with me? But I ain’t never offered her no drink (no drink)

But I admit that she asked me, can I get a little Hennessy? (yeah)

We both turned off our phone, we drinked, out smoked, we talked

I admit that I tore it off (our phone, we talked, it off)

From my good points to my faults (faults)

She said “What about Aaliyah said?”

Love

She said “What about the tape?”

I said hush

I said my lawyer said “don’t say noth’”

But I can tell you I’ve been set up (up)
