R. Kelly’s lawyer is responding to the singer’s daughter after she claimed he was sexually abused in a new documentary.
In Karma: A Daughter’s Journey, a two-part documentary that debuted on TVEI Streaming Network, Buku Abi reveals that she reported the alleged abuse to her mother, Andrea Kelly, in 2009 when she was just 10 years old.
“He was everything to me,” Abi, now 26, says in the emotional first episode, which is now available to stream. “For a long time, I didn’t want to believe it. I didn’t think someone, even as flawed as he was, would do something like that to me.”
Though Abi, whose real name is Joann Kelly, does not delve deeply into the specifics of the abuse in this initial episode, she shares how fear kept her from speaking out for years. “I was too scared to tell anybody. I was too scared to tell my mom.”
In response, Kelly’s lawyer, Jennifer Bonjean, appeared on the Banfield show on News Nation to dispel the claim.
“The allegation was investigated by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services,” Bonjean said. “He’s under criminal investigation at the time. He’s probably the most highly-investigated individual on the planet when it comes to these types of claims. The Illinois DCFS determined that the allegation was unfounded many years ago.
“He certainly denies it, and it’s our position that, if there was any merit to the claims, certainly charges would have been brought.”

Diddy is facing a lawsuit from a woman who claims the music mogul sexually assaulted her when she was a 19-year-old college freshman in 2004.
According to the suit, filed in Tennessee, the woman—identified as Jane Doe—alleges that Diddy forced himself on her during an after-party at a Manhattan Marriott hotel following a photoshoot invite near her Brooklyn campus.
According to TMZ, the woman claims Diddy and his entourage brought her and a friend to the hotel, where they were locked in a room, given drinks, and pressured to use cocaine. When the women resisted, the lawsuit alleges Diddy became aggressive, eventually forcing Jane Doe to undress under threat of violence and sexually assaulting her. The woman says her friend was also forced to perform oral sex.
Jane Doe claims her cries prompted a security guard to enter the room, allowing her friend to escape, but she remained trapped. After Diddy allegedly threatened her life, another guard later escorted her out, and she returned to her dorm.
The woman is seeking a jury trial and is represented by attorney Tony Buzbee, who claims to represent 120 other alleged victims of Diddy. Marriott International is also being sued, accused of ignoring Diddy’s behavior.

Vice President Kamala Harris made a notable appearance on The Shade Room for TSR Newz, marking her first interview with the outlet since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee. During the conversation, Harris highlighted her campaign’s efforts to expand economic opportunities for Black Americans and discussed her strategy for securing Black male voters.
Harris also addressed former President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from a 60 Minutes interview and the second debate, questioning, “What is Donald Trump trying to hide? What is his staff and his team trying to keep from you?”
In discussing her campaign’s vision, Harris outlined an expanded economic agenda, contrasting it with Trump’s approach. She focused on building economic equity for underserved communities, underscoring her dedication to achieving tangible progress.
Addressing polling data showing her receiving 80% of Black male voters compared to Biden’s 87% in 2020, Harris pushed back, stating, “That’s not my experience, and election day has not arrived yet. The most important point is that I’m not assuming I have Black men’s votes in my back pocket. Black men expect you to earn their vote, just like anyone else.”
She emphasized the importance of her ongoing work, listening to the community, and making her case to voters. “I’m running for president of the United States, and it’s my responsibility to earn their support. That’s why I’m talking with folks about the work I’ve done throughout my career.”
The Hip Hop world and the Brownsville, Brooklyn community are saddened over the news of the passing of Kaseem Ryan, aka Brownsville Ka, who died this week (Oct. 12) unexpectedly in NYC.
His cause of death has not been confirmed. Ka was 52.
The Brownsvillian has been on the NYC underground Hip-Hop scene for three decades, originally as part of the group Natural Elements. However, Ka didn’t release a solo project until 2008 with Iron Works. He released several projects in the following years, including the infectious 2013 release of The Night’s Gambit, which boasted the viral single “Cold Facts.”
What very few knew is that when Ka took his hiatus from the rap game from ’99 to ’08, he embarked on a career in the New York Fire Department and was a first responder during the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks in 2001. Ka rose in the “New York’s Bravest” ranks and was promoted to fire captain at Engine Co. 235 in Bedford-Stuyvesant in 2009. Some critics didn’t think the two professions mixed very well, so in 2016, the New York Post wrote an incendiary story that painted Ka as an anti-cop rapper leading a double life as a firefighter.
An announcement was made on his @brownsvilleka Instagram page about his sudden passing:
“We are heartbroken to announce the passing of Kaseem Ryan (1972-2024), the rapper and producer known as Ka, who died unexpectedly in New York City on October 12, at the age of 52,” reads the post. “Born and raised in Brownsville, Brooklyn, Ka lived a life of service — to his city, to his community, and to his music. As a 20-year veteran of the New York City Fire Department, he put his life on the line to protect his fellow citizens. Ka rose to the rank of FDNY captain and was a first responder on September 11, 2001, during the attacks on the World Trade Center. He leaves an extraordinary legacy as a recording artist, including eleven remarkable self-released solo albums. Ka is survived by his wife, mother and sister We kindly ask that the privacy of Ka’s family and loved ones be respected as they grieve this incalculable loss.”
