K. Michelle recently sat down for an interview with Nick Cannon and explained her take on the infamous scandals of R. Kelly. Kelly mentored Michelle at the beginning of her career. Michelle described while working with Kelly he was controlling. However, only controlling when it came to the studio and making music.

Michelle explained that this is an underlying race factor around Kelly’s accusations. Michelle suggested that there is a comparison between Kelly and the late Elvis Presley. Presley has been allegedly accused of having sexual relationships with underage women.

“I do know that if Elvis can pick up his wife at 14 from high school, you know what I’m sayin’? All I want is the same energy,” said, Michelle.
