Teal Ambition 47,805 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 According to executive producer dream hampton, several musicians were asked to participate in the docuseries but turned downed the opportunity. Speaking with the Detroit Free Press, hampton revealed that Erykah Badu, JAY-Z, Dave Chappelle, and Lady Gaga—all of whom have collaborated with R. Kelly—declined interviews. Questlove, Mary J. Blige, and Lil’ Kim also turned down the opportunity to speak, hampton said in an interview with Shadow and Act. The only musicians who participated in “Surviving R. Kelly” were John Legend and R&B singer Stephanie “Sparkle” Edwards, who testified against Kelly at his 2008 trial. Dream hampton said of John Legend’s participation, “That makes John Legend even more of a hero for me.” https://pitchfork.com/news/jay-z-lady-gaga-dave-chappelle-more-turned-down-r-kelly-documentary-producer-says/ Good move, she should stay far away from this ▌│█║▌║▌║ before I am Canadian, I am Chromatican ║▌║▌║█│▌ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCHEISSEMONTRE 2,783 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Now we know why Gaga never performs Do What U Want live anymore after artRAVE But tbh, it’s good she isn’t doing it cause of what happened during the ARTPOP era stuff and the interview might bring up DWUW and stuff.

Sneaky Oliver 20,039 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Great. She doesn’t need to be associated to him anymore. Specially now! I’m on my Legacy Act era Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelusionalGaga 29,128 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 As a stan I'm glad that she's keeping her distance from this mess but as a human I feel rather shitty that I want her to stay silent on this horrific issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

guyzplzstaph 172 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I'm actually happy she's not participating - she knows him (i think) from working on a track. I don't think she should be stating her opinion in this case, mostly because it would bring completely nothing to the docuseries. And yes, i do love DWUW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didymus 32,602 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Well, that's sad. Remember this? "He’s a very talented person and I feel connected to him because he’s also plagued by other people’s projections of what he is. And that’s what’s really exciting to me about this album. In a way, it’s showing my fans how to have a more detailed and critical eye with music and what they’re looking at." — Gaga, 2013 I wonder if she just didn't know enough about his controversial past. Or maybe it was just a PR stunt, who knows. But if I were Kelly, I would feel betrayed ngl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Vandeburg 6,966 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Well, she probably has nothing to say about the cases, actually. What would be the point of interviewing her? She only worked with him on ONE song 6 years ago and, like many other artists did, she just thought he was a decent person back then. End of story.

blackpink 13,760 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I mean we all saw it coming. The whole fiasco surrounding it back then was enough for her to cancel the video and re-release it with Christina. I truly believe if that video was released Gaga would’ve been truly over.

While I agree, they must've asked her for a reason, even if it was just for a description of how it was working together, or to expand on her comment I posted above. But yeah, you got me thinking she might have pulled out simply because she had nothing to say. It seemed from the beginning she didn't really care about him (remember the like, 20 different stories about how he came to work on the track lol) But the controversy obviously plays a part here too, which is why so many others declined as well.
