“Negativity sells, gossip is what sells, rumors are what sell,” said Azriel.

“We’re here to talk about what our parents are doing right now. And what they’re doing right now is all for money,” she added.

R. Kelly sat down for an interview with Gayle as well that aired one day prior (March 6), resulting in an emotional and volatile display by the singer. He has since been taken into custody for failing to pay child support, and was previously charged with ten counts of sexual abuse, which he vehemently denies.
