Singer R. Kelly’s 13-year-old child Jay came out as being a transgender individual earlier this month via social media but since, Jay’s father been silent on the matter.
Recently sitting down with Chicago’s WGCI 107.5, Kells broke his silence about his family.
“You don’t really want to open it up by saying my daughter is becoming my son,” R. Kelly said. “You gotta know there’s a back story. There’s a background. That’s why you can’t judge nobody.”
When asked about reports via “the blogs” about Jay becoming a male, Kelly said not to trust them and only “believe what you see.”
“Don’t even give the blogs that kind of credit. You know what I’m saying? Real talk,” he said. “As far as that is concerned, always believe what you see with your own eyes that is. Always believe what you see. That is the best way to go about this business… I’ve heard a lot of things about a lot of people and it was never true.”
Jay has not been as shy about expressing his gender status. Born Jaya, Jay recently took to Instagram to reveal what he looks like as a teenage boy. Also, in a Ask.fm Q&A session, Jay said he’s identified as being a boy since he was “six or seven” years old and is eager to undergo gender reassignment surgery.
TMZ recently reported R. Kelly’s ex-wife, Andrea Kelly, believed her ex-husband hasn’t been as accepting of their transgender child, saying he still refers to Jay as his daughter.

I’ve always wanted to be a bird so I can fly, I get my new wings in a month or so. Then I will truly be a real bird!! Tweet tweet! Walk on biotchez!
I don’t understand…was the child transgender at birth? Or it a 13 year old wanting to get a sex change? I mean, if someone is born transgender, and they want to have surgery that will allow them to fully embrace their male or female ‘side’, then good for them. But if it’s just someone who ‘wishes’ they were the other sex, and then go get a sex change, then that shouldn’t be allowed for anyone under 21, and even then it’s not something I agree with. I’m not against homosexuality, but I think it’s a slippery slope when you let people transform into anything they want just because they’re insecure about themself. People will start getting dicks on their forehead and a pussy in their arm pit.
“born transgender”…………………..huh??? Lol fucking idiot.
jesus… what does inner gender have to do with dicks on foreheads n shit. If you are serious you are a fool. And it’s not about ‘insecurity’. Are you 12?
You can be born a transgender, you stupid asshole. There are people born with both sets of genitals, or neither. Get out of your ignorant ass bubble and pay attention some time. Neither one of you dumb fucks understood a word I said. I guess Iph I wood had spelt it lyke dis den u wood git it.
lol, woooo
It’s pretty sad when you have to break things down to the absolute lowest level for others to understand. I agree with gender assignment when a child is born with both sets of genitals…..but to change your sexual orientation because you prefer to be one sex over the other is just wrong. There seems to be no limits to what people will do and no limits to what people are willing to accept. Moral values are becoming a thing of the past. Why in the hell is her mother so accepting of this???!!!
Lol now I see he ain’t the only one in the family that’s mentally fucked up
Bigot
true sign his house is far from blessed even with millions. u can’t fuck girls and expect ur girl not to get possessed y demonic entities. a spirit has tooking full control of her frontal lobe resulting in her demise by way of ritualist sex abuse by r kelly and his wife
