New York rapper Uncle Murda isn’t satisfied with Lifetime putting out its groundbreaking three-night Surviving R. Kelly docuseries. The hip-hop veteran has singled out the network about continuing the momentum.
Murda went to Instagram Monday (January 7) and urged Lifetime to consider focusing on doing a similar TV project based on the thousands of Catholic church sexual assault victims.

Over the weekend, Kelly protégé Sparkle released a new song inspired by the Lifetime event
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)

Early Monday, 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
