    Sony Music, the record company, has explained why the controversial R. Kelly album “I Admit It” was taken off from online streaming services.

    Following R. Kelly’s unexpected release of a project from prison titled ‘I Admit It,’ Sony Music has come forward to explain why the project was pulled from all digital streaming services.

    According to Variety magazine, R. Kelly’s ‘I Admit It’ was distributed illegally and not by them as an entertainment firm. Additionally, R. Kelly’s attorney alleged that her client was the victim of intellectual property theft.

    Jennifer Bonjean, who is Kelly’s attorney, also informed Variety that the release did not come from the singer as well.

    She said, R. Kelly:

    “is having intellectual property stolen from him.”

    R. Kelly became a trending topic of conversation all the way from his prison cell after the public release and now removal of his “I Admit” album.

    The album, which was released on December 9th while the artist is serving a 30-year prison sentence, had many versions of the song “I Admit,” in which he rapped about his various charges, including sexual assault, in an unapologetic manner.

    A few hours after its debut, the album was however removed from Spotify and Apple Music.

    Some sources claim that “I Admit,” which immediately sparked a flood of comments on social media, is a bootleg version, which means it was not put out by R. Kelly or his crew.

    However, some records had been up on SoundCloud as far back as 2018 before being uploaded on streaming giants; Apple Music and Spotify. R. Kelly is currently serving a 30-year-sentence on charges of sex trafficking and has been in prison since June 2022.
