JAY-Z, Lady Gaga, Dave Chappelle, More Turned Down R. Kelly Documentary, Producer Says
The new documentary series ?Surviving R. Kelly? premieres tonight (January 3) on Lifetime. The series features interviews with women like Kitti Jones and Kelly?s ex-wife Andrea Kelly, who have spoken publicly about the singer?s history of alleged abuse. According to executive producer dream hampton, several musicians were asked to participate in the docuseries but turned downed the opportunity. Speaking with the Detroit Free Press, hampton revealed that Erykah Badu, JAY-Z, Dave Chappelle, and Lady Gaga?all of whom have collaborated with R. Kelly?declined interviews. Questlove, Mary J. Blige, and Lil? Kim also turned down the opportunity to speak, hampton said in an interview with Shadow and Act.
?I mean, most people just don?t want to touch it,? dream hampton said. ?I remember [Questlove] was like, ?I would do anything for you but I can?t do this.? It?s not because they support him, it?s because it?s so messy and muddy. It?s that turning away that has allowed this to go on.?
Questlove later responded to the news on Twitter. ?I always thought Kels was trash,? he wrote. ?My reason for declining the RKelly docu that I support 10000000 percent is I didn?t wanna be in the ?good times? portion of the doc, like stanning for his ?genius.? I was asked to talk about his genius. I do not nor have I EVER stanned for him.?
The only musicians who participated in ?Surviving R. Kelly? were John Legend and R&B singer Stephanie ?Sparkle? Edwards, who testified against Kelly at his 2008 trial. Dream hampton said of John Legend?s participation, ?That makes John Legend even more of a hero for me.?
Pitchfork has contacted representatives for Erykah Badu, JAY-Z, Lady Gaga, Dave Chappelle, Questlove, Mary J. Blige, and Lil? Kim.

You are dumb if you believe that. Dream is actually friends with Jay so it?s interesting he would turn it down. I?m sure he knows how much this trash project means to her.
