He says, &#8220;I hope people recognized my voice and know that&#8221; he wouldn&#8217;t be recording in the middle of a legal battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we reported, it certainly looked and sounded like he&#8217;d\u00a0<strong>release a 13-track album<\/strong>, with the title track addressing many of the allegations leveled against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After just a few hours, though, the project was pulled from Spotify and Apple Music &#8212; as Kelly&#8217;s label, Sony Music, denied any involvement in the recording or in distributing it to the streamers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His legal team later told us, they were\u00a0<strong>investigating to figure out<\/strong>\u00a0who may have released the music. BTW, we know it was uploaded by Ingrooves, a distributor owned by Universal Music Group &#8230; with no ties to Sony Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, the Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed R. Kelly didn&#8217;t produce any songs using equipment in prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During this voice recording, he seemed to want to prove it&#8217;s not his voice on &#8220;I Admit It&#8221; &#8212; so, he broke into a few bars of his song, \u201cWhen A Woman&#8217;s Fed Up.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He thinks there&#8217;s a clear difference, but listen for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kelly&#8217;s been convicted by 2 separate federal juries &#8212; and is\u00a0<strong>serving a 30-year sentence<\/strong>for sex crimes.
