R Kelly on-call via Black Panties hotline
By Aly Barchi | Published on Thursday 28 November 2013
Hold on to your hats (and pants), R&B-lovers, because for any of you who thought R Kelly’s forthcoming LP, ‘Black Panties’, couldn’t go any more gross, it has, so… sorry.
So. R’s only gone and launched a Black Panties Hotline which, if fans call it (on 312-380-6596), gives them the option to sign up to receive eight “messages” (‘sexts’ seem quite likely) from Camp Kelly over a month.
Though, as Complex reports, having dialled the number, on hanging up you’ll apparently be sent an automated text message asking if you might change your mind about subscribing, with the sign-off “consent is not required”. Which all sounds like R is going with the Robin Thicke school of ‘seduction’. Not good.
Aaanyway, ‘Black Panties’ is released, whether we like it or not, on 9 Dec.
