The former N'SYNC superstar Justin Timberlake was recently turned down a song request from R&B's most controversial figure R. Kelly.
Kelly is charged with 21 counts child pornography (14 of which has been dropped in Florida) stemming from a video tape of Kelly engaging in sexual intercourse with a 14 year old girl. The Grammy award winning singer has written and produced hits for up and coming artists such as Tamia,Cassidy and JS.
The request for the song was made by Timberlake to Kelly's publicist following the Grammy award ceremony in Feburary.
"I truly admire and respect R. Kelly in every single way musically" Timberlake said while signing autographs outside of Dolce' in Beverly Hills. "Say what you want about him, but he is without a doubt the best R&B singer/producer/songwriter in the game right now. I look up to him and hopefully I can get a chance to work with him someday"
When asked if he would work with Timberlake, Kelly, who was chatting with producer Terry Lewis at the Damita Jo Album Release party following the Soul Train Awards, blunty stated "I refuse to write hits for someone who does not appreaciate the gift of the music. I refuse to write hits for someone who turns their back on someone who showed you the ropes of touring,marketing and the game itself. I refuse to write hits for someone who uses and abuses this thing called R&B music just to gain respect and acceptance from their opposite conterpart.I refuse to write hits for someone with the name of Justin Timberlake "
R. Kelly is due back in court on April 2nd in Illinois and his new LP intitled "Happy People" is slated to drop May 30th. Justin Timberlake's new LP is due sometime next spring
