R&B singer Sparkle is back on her music grind following Saturday night’s final Surviving R. Kelly episode aired. The crooner has premiered her new “We Are Ready” single aimed at former collaborator R. Kelly and in support of his survivors.
On the new track, Sparkle takes direct aim at the disgraced music veteran.
Sparkle alleges Kelly offered her money to stay quiet, which she refused and resulted in the singer losing her music career. However, now she has a new song with lyrics that say, “Said that we were weak long enough, but time is up/ We ain’t weak/ We have a voice and its loud, no we ain’t just figure it out/ When we come together we win we overcome battles, we fall, we’ll do it again/ And it’s never been an easy win, but we are ready.” (BET)

Hot 97’s Funk Flex has weighed-in on Sparkle’s unexpected new song.
A few hours ago, R&B singer Omarion said he viewed Kelly as both a victim and predator.
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
Fellow crooner Ne-Yo took a more aggressive approach and said he could no longer support Kelly.
