The few fans left for R. Kelly were excited on Friday when the R&B singer currently serving a 30-year prison sentence managed to get a new album out.
The 13-song album, provocatively titled “I Admit It, ”was credited to Kelly as the main writer with “D. Johnson” as producer,” and covers the usual Kelly terrain on tracks like “I Got It” and “Good Old Days”.
The final three tracks on the album were a 19-minute long triptych where he addressed the many allegations leveled against him including relationships with fans and straying on a partner, while obliquely acknowledging and protesting his long, sordid list of sex crime convictions.

A few hours after the album went live online, major streaming platforms like Apple Music and Spotify pulled the project down.
The Record labels credited on “I Admit It,” also released a statement to disassociate themselves from the project.
Sony said in a statement that “I Admit It” was a bootleg and not a formal release, and an attorney for Kelly told Variety that the singer isn’t responsible for the album either, and he is “having intellectual property stolen from him.”
Speaking from jail in audio obtained by TMZ, R Kelly called the album a plot to screw him over in court.
He shut down the impression that he’d put out any music right now, much less something with the lyrics, “I Admit It,” because he’s trying to appeal his latest federal conviction.
Kelly first posted a version of those final three album tracks on Soundcloud in 2018.
