✖ Rapper R. Kelly released new music amid the premiere of Surviving R. Kelly, a lifetime docuseries that sheds light on Kelly’s sexually abusive behavior and pedophilia. Now, his music sales have skyrocketed, sparking even more controversy on social media.

How is it that R Kelly's music sales have spiked (substantially) since the release of the docuseries Surviving R Kelly? I need some help in understanding. What am I missing??? pic.twitter.com/pysqVxLzyi

Idt it’s in support of him, I think it’s more so people going back and listening to his music to catch all the lyrics they missed where he’s been “subliminally” telling us of his behavior this whole time.
