R. Kelly has had his own share of controversy, so it's perhaps no surprise that he would feel sympathetically toward Bill Cosby.
The singer shared his thoughts in an extensive new interview with GQ, saying, "I'm a fan of Bill Cosby's from the Bill Cosby show, of course."
As for the allegations of sexual abuse against Cosby, Kelly said, "For me to give my opinion on something that I have no idea if it's true or not, all I can say is that it was a long time ago.
"And when I look on TV and I see the 70-, 80-, 90-year-old ladies talking about what happened when they were 17, 18, 19, there's something strange about it," Kelly said. "If God showed me that they were telling the truth, I would say that's wrong. I don't care if it was a zillion years ago."
Kelly was accused of videotaping sex with a minor and in 2008 was acquitted on 14 counts of making child pornography. Those charges are why Kelly says God would have to persuade him that Cosby was guilty.
"No man can tell me that. No woman can tell me that," Kelly said. "And when you wait 70 years, 50 years, 40 years, to say something that simple, it's strange. You know why I say that is because it happened to me, and it wasn't true."
