R. Kelly
The same sentiment holds true for R. Kelly as well. Despite the musician facing serious accusations of abhorrent crimes early in his career, he somehow managed to evade significant consequences. For years, people continued to sing along to popular tracks like "Remix" or "I Believe I Can Fly" without fully acknowledging the artist behind them or the disturbing allegations surrounding him.
Thankfully, justice has finally caught up with R. Kelly, and he now finds himself incarcerated. For decades, he had been orchestrating a cult that specifically targeted young black women, exploiting his power and celebrity status to perpetrate horrific crimes.
