Fantasia recently took to Twitter to clear up a few harsh words she had for R. Kelly during a CIAA weekend in March.
In a video that hit the web, R. Kelly performed at a party both attended. In the footage, Kelly performed only a few lines of his song “Honey Love,” then left the stage. Soon after, Tasia came on stage and told the audience, “I'm not going to give you half of a song, I’ve come to give you your money’s worth. I found it a little disrespectful, but things don’t happen like that ….especially in my city.”
She has since commented on the incident, saying her words could have been taken the wrong way and she has nothing but love and admiration for R. Kelly. She also admitted to being misinformed about certain details of the event. Her tweets say:
“That night was one to remember…lolThere was some behind the scene drama that took place someone snatched money from the door…
…the show was delayed about 90 minutes R. Kelly WHO I HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR was sick and later hospitalized that night…
…I am such an R Kelly fan I love his style his music his character & I went with my fist pumped waiting for 12 play…lol..
