    Nice to hear Tank talk positively about R. Kelly!
    A few years ago on social media, some artists / celebrities were talking down on R. Kelly back when he got accused of allegedly keeping women in one of his apartments…
    I remember that Tank was one of them that made a "negative" post regarding R. Kelly.
    Now in 2023 they’re finally keeping it real and are giving R. Kelly his flowers!

We didn't want him to leave or for the show to end. He was also dropping gems for the men.
