Feeling so conflicted about “Outrageous”

[MonaLisa613]

It’s one of my fave songs from her but knowing R. Kelly wrote it and I think even does background on it cuz it sounds like him in parts, I can’t help but feel a lil conflicted. Being 37 years old, I’ve known about the allegations about him for MANY, MANY years which is why I haven’t listened to HIS music in that long regardless of the great songs he’s made, but now thanks to the recent Lifetime “Survivng R. Kelly” series bringing this all back to the public’s mind and every one turning on him like they should of done back then, I feel a little dirty  listening to it, along with Aaliyah’s music, lol

You can listen to it, like it and enjoy it. If you don't want to support him just don't buy it or stream it on legal platforms

there's like 100 other songs you can listen to, I'm sure you'll get over not listening to one album track from 14 years ago or whatever

While R Kelly is trash, I typically don't think about who wrote a song when I listen to the song. I agree with @edurance just don't stream it.

I know how you feel, as a fellow older Britney fan. I've avoided R. Kelly for years as well and I can't STAND to listen to Age Ain't Nothing But A Number (so pissed Aaliyah's legacy is tied up with his). I've always disliked Outrageous so me never listening to it again isn't a problem lol, but I do understand where you're coming from. If she pulled the song, I'm not sure how much of an impact it would actually have, but I support your decision to not listen to it, if that's what you want.

You don't have to take a political stance over every aspect of your life

I'd say that personal life and professional life are different places.
