Master P Says Parents of the Alleged R. Kelly Victims Should Be Blamed: ‘Ain’t Nobody Gonna Play with My Kids’

The reactions to the Lifetime docuseries “Surviving R. Kelly” are still coming in, and many continue to blast the R&B singer for the allegations.

One person who weighed in was Master P, and he said much of the blame should go to the alleged victims’ parents because they didn’t do enough to rescue their kids.

In an Instagram video, P referred to the docuseries as a reality show and criticized the parents who gave interviews for a Lifetime project instead of going to a news channel. The rapper also talked about those parents who tried to reclaim their children, and he believes they just didn’t do enough.

“Let me tell y’all about R. Kelly,” P began. “The truth is I don’t like the parents. Y’all know I ain’t gonna be on no reality show or Lifetime. I’ma be on CNN, straight up. It’s gonna get real, think about it. I’m not about to play with nobody, I’ma burn it down, I’m gonna do something.

“Ain’t nobody gonna play with my kids. Straight up,” he continued. “You shouldn’t have even been on TV, and if you a parent you shouldn’t be on that unless you on CNN from a jail cell. I don’t know if R. Kelly did it or not, that ain’t any of my business, I ain’t judging, but I’m just saying those parents shouldn’t have let that go that far. If you got love for your kids, you are going to war behind your kids. You ain’t doing no reality show.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
