<p data-pm-slice="0 0 []">As the world is coming to terms with R. Kelly&#8217;s long-awaited guilty verdict regarding his involvement in a<a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/r-kelly-found-guilty-of-racketeering-in-federal-sex-trafficking-case/"> racketeering and sex trafficking</a> case, people outside his legal team have opinions. One of them being rapper Chuck D from the group Public Enemy. He decided to let off a series of tweets where he compared R.Kelly to Ike Turner, causing him to trend on Twitter.</p>
<p>Chuck talked about a recent Sirius XM radio interview where he claimed the announcer shifted the conversation from TikTok to R.Kelly. Chuck tweeted that when you start seeing 30-40-year-olds swimming the same social media waters as 12-year-olds, it&#8217;s like putting a nightclub inside the high school gym. However, when he brought Rick James and Ike Turner into the conversation, that&#8217;s when things got interesting.</p>
<p>&#8220;Abused in his youth… An addict as an adult… Ike Turner served 18 months in prison&#8230; Rick James did a similar time. Ike came out as a changed positive human being. How long should R Kelly spend in prison, and does a USA system give a man a chance for a man to change his world around?&#8221; Chuck tweeted. He continued saying that people should do their research on the topic. Several Twitter users went off and shared their disapproval of Chuck&#8217;s messages.</p>
<p>One tweeted directly to Chuck, writing about Ike never apologizing, how his ex-wife Tina Turner said she couldn&#8217;t forgive him, and how R. Kelly has zero remorse for his actions. She asked him when people will start believing/protecting Black women/girls and stop demanding the victims give 2nd/3rd/4th chances?</p>
<p>Chuck responded, stating that the user had valid points, but in turn asked her the question, &#8220;Is the penalty..execution castrations or prison where the USA is at a crossroads funding the prison system in the 2020s-you know that there&#8217;s little rehab, and they are releasing as opposed to the fixing of the problem.&#8221;</p>
<p>Roomies, what do yall think about Chuck D&#8217;s tweets?</p>
