Yesterday, rumors spread like wildfire that police raided R. Kelly’s home in suburban Olympia Fields in connection with an alleged relationship between Kelly and a 17-year-old girl who was supposedly living there. I didn’t want to report it since I wasn’t sure if the allegations were true. Well, a spokesman for R. Kelly “disputed the reports” made by mediatakeout.com and The Sun Times.

     R. Kelly’s spokesperson had this to say:

     “A wildly exaggerated and inaccurate report has been circulating on the Internet that Olympia Fields police showed up at R. Kelly’s house with a search warrant just before the singer left for his three-week concert tour in Africa last month and then searched the place looking for a missing 17-year-old girl.

    This is completely false. No police ever showed up at Kelly’s house with a search warrant nor was his house ever searched. It is also not true, as the unsubstantiated report claimed, that any such girl ever stayed overnight in Kelly’s house or that she had been there but left shortly before some mythical police search.
    Kelly’s attorneys have informed the police that they will cooperate fully with any investigation.”

We’ll keep you posted as the story develops. The R&B singer is currently in South Africa, providing testimony in another legal matter involving fraud.

Considering the fact that R. Kelly is known for hooking up with young girls, do you think there is any truth to this rumor?
