More celebs are speaking out with their thoughts on the riveting and highly watched ‘Surviving R. Kelly‘ series on Lifetime that aired for three nights starting Thursday and concluded Saturday.
Following R&B singer Tank‘s public declaration that he would no longer support the troubled singer, now Omarion has given his thoughts on the matter. The singer took to Twitter to give his thoughts and prayers for the victims, as well as Kels, and says that he plans to retire all R. Kelly written songs from his solo set and any future performances after the upcoming B2K reunion tour.
He says he and the group are aware that their fans would be disappointed to not hear songs such as ‘Girlfriend (Remix)’ which R. Kelly penned for them. However, outside of that, he will not perform any more of his songs going forward. Get into his tweets below.
As an artist & a champion of the arts, I am moved to share my position on #SurvivingRKelly which I haven’t seen but felt compelled to voice my position on this very serious issue since #rkelly has written songs for #B2K.

It’s important first to ACKNOWLEDGE that this has been an ugly truth in our industry for years and as opposed to dismissing it’s existence | its time to discuss it. EVERYONE has to be RESPONSIBLE. Many have bared witness to the unthinkable and yet have remained silent.

Those responsible must be held accountable. #rkelly was both a victim & a predator & accordingly must be held accountable but also get professional help. His artistic genius inspired us all. His music is being muted by the darkness of his actions. The dark always comes to light.

I pray that everyone effected by this tragedy gets the help & support they need to live a better life. When you know better , you do better.

While I know our fans would be greatly disappointed if we didn’t perform those songs on #TheMillennoumTour , after the tour I am retiring those songs from my set list . I too am raising a future queen. #A.A.R.T.
(Artists Acknowledging Responsibility & Truth) Peace y’all. ~O— OMARION (@Omarion) January 7, 2019
