R. Kelly’s Daughter Buku Abi Says She Can't Get A Record Deal Due To His Bad Reputation

R. Kelly’s actions are impacting other members of his family, specifically his daughter. Speaking with her mother, Drea Kelly, during a visit to Majic 107.5 in Atlanta, Joann Kelly, professionally known as Buku Abi, revealed that she was unable to secure a record deal due to R. Kelly’s sex crimes. “For me, the experience has been, ‘You’re only getting this because of who your parents are,’ and then, ‘You’re not getting this because of who your parents are,’” Kelly said. She then added, “the first time I ever wrote a song was at 13, and from 13 up until 24, I’ve been trying to get into the music business. Trying to get into the industry and all those years, it’s either been you’re getting it because of who your dad is or you not getting it because of who your dad is. Joann Kelly would state she would be near closing a deal, but once her father’s identity would be found out, it would go away.
