Hitmaking artist and songwriter R. Kelly will make his first tour of the African continent this month, courtesy of his participation in the ARISE African Fashion Awards.

 

The awards show and gala will take place in Johannesburg, South Africa on June 20.

 

The inaugural R. Kelly concert will also serve as a close out to Africa Fashion Week, and kickoff a multi-city tour that spans South Africa, Nigeria, and London.

 

The Chicago singer revealed that this tour is his first trip to the Motherland, and he expects the experience to resonate both on personal and professional levels.

 

"I'm very excited about my first visit to Africa, I've dreamed about this for a long time and it’s finally here,” Kelly told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “It will be one of the highlights of not only my career but my life. I can’t wait to perform in front of my fans in Africa – who have been some of the best in the world."

 

Dr. Precious Moloi-Motsepe, founder of Africa Fashion Week and the African Fashion Awards, explained that the entire African continent is ready to be recognized for their fashion talents on an international stage.

 

“Our goal is to promote and recognize the best of African fashion talent on a global scale and the ARISE Africa Fashion Awards is a further step towards fulfillment of this goal,” she stated.

 

The ARISE Africa Fashion Awards commences from 6Pm-10PM on June 20 at Johannesburg’s Sandton Convention Center.

 

The keynote address will be delivered by renowned humanitarian and former First Lady of France Cecilia Attias.

 

Listed below are R. Kelly’s confirmed Africa tour dates:

 

Saturday, June 27th at the Superbowl in Sun City
Monday, June 29th at the Grand West Casino in Cape Town
Friday, July 3rd at the THISDAY Dome in Abuja, Nigeria
Saturday, July 4th and Sunday, July 5th in Lagos, Nigeria
Wednesday, July 8th at Wembley Arena in London, UK

I know South Africa and Nigeria get all the attention in Black Africa but fools that visit the continent need to start specifying where they're going and coming from, instead of saying "Africa" like it's a country.

R. Kelly stop getting play in my stereo after it was confirmed that he enjoys turning out "Young Black Females" who more than likely don't have fathers at home.

Y'all guys here are ass.

Who are you to judge this man?
Just because your laws in the US
are a bit too conservative you
already start dissing your brother.

If he would have forced the girl to
fuck with him. It would have been
cause for outrage. But in most
parts of the world. It would have
not been an issue. Only in America
a 17 year old girl cannot be with her
21 year old boy friend, the moment
he happens to turn 21. While 17 and
20 is no problem. Come on. Your laws
are a bit strange. Also it needs to be
taken in consideration, how many girls
are 13 and acting 18, with all make up
and shit. That girl in the video was a
hottie non of you mofos would ask for
a passport, if she wants to fuck with
you. This ain't a Hello Kitty Sticker girl.
This is a girl who knows what she wants.
and I know y'all saw the video.

So don't judge this man, by something
that could have happened to you as well.


Good look for travelling to Africa. I know
he doesn't travel by flight, so it'll be a long
tour by ship to get there.
Do your think Kellz a lot of your fans in
Africa have been waiting a long time.

@Asher "Black Bomb" Sommer

You are ignorant. She was 14 not 17 and there were many more (reference the Vibe piece done on him) in which he took advantage of young girls for his own sexual pleasure. In some cases he even impregnated them and pressured them to abort. A teenage girl may think she knows what she wants out of life but she dosent. Teenage girls are easily manipulated and brain washed. How do you think so many boys have gotten young girls to do some of the most horrible crimes like kill their parents? Its a Scientific fact that the brain isn't fully developed until early twentys. It is especially easy for a young girl to be manipulated when they have a super star celebrity telling them they love them and want them and that they are special. Teenage girls want to believe that s&%t. I know, I used to be one. When you got some one of the status telling you these things its easy to be led astray.....and put in bad situations.

P.s Now that he is on the lose I hope a young girl you love and care for, i.e a sister, niece, cousin, goddaughter, ect)isnt next on his list. You might be singing a different tune.

Asher "Black Bomb" Sommer said:

@m-1021

I mean where do you live?

Disneyland?

Just walk down the streets and you see
plenty of 13 year old girls, dressing like
17-19. Styling like sluts. Trying to get
with any Nigga who has a nice ride.

I mean that's reality.

Girls have their first sex at age 12-14.
Maybe not in Wyoming. But definitely
in any urban area. They are also not
dreaming to play Doubledutch with
a superstar, if they have the chance
to meet him. They wanna get laid.

Excuse me I'm from North Memphis, so I know all about the reality of the streets. I grew up piss poor in the hood. All those girls you are talking about are mislead and need some guidence. Most don't come from good homes or have daddies to show them whats what. Only thing I can think of is that you are a chester molester yourself and thats why you are taking up for him. Are your trying to silence your own guilt?Hide your kids. (Boys and Girls these days!)

m-1021 said:

Why go for teenagers anyway? Why not piss on some one his own age? Atleast he could say she was a grown ass woman!
June 13, 2009 2:25 PM
 

Asher "Black Bomb" Sommer said:

I've fucked girls from rich families when I was in my teens, and they
did stuff quite more crazy stuff than girls from poor areas. It's a personal thing. Some people are just developing early. I mean
Memphis is quite Bible, so maybe ppl there are more conservative.
But, where I'm from we started smoking weed at 14 and
the girls definitely didn't want to play with dolls.

Lmao @ God_Zilla, and smh @ Asher "Black Bomb" Sommer defending his sick ass...if that was your daughter how would you feel? Just because a teenage girl dresses like a whore doesn't mean a grown ass man has the right to f*ck her and  piss on her, and if you think it's normal then you're just as sick as he is....

Three times Grammy Award winner and Platinum selling superstar R Kelly touched down on African shores last night. His whirlwind visit to the continent coincides with a performance at the closing ceremony of the Arise Africa Fashion Week at the Sandton Convention Centre.

And all concert tickets are already sold out.  His multi-city tour starts on the 27th of this month at the Sun City Superbowl in North West. He'll also perform in Cape Town, Nigeria and end the tour in London on July 8.

However, he'll make his first appearance at the conclusion of the Arise Africa Fashion Week on Saturday at the Sandton Convention Centre. Kelly says his tour to Africa will be one of the highlights of his career.
