In the first clip, King brings up the rapperâs cases that were not acquitted. She says, âWomen have come forward and said, âR. Kelly had sex with me when I was under the age of 18. R. Kelly was abusive to me, emotionally, physically and verbally. R. Kelly took me into a black room where unspeakable things happened.â This is what theyâre saying about you, these are old rumors.â

The 52-year-old star responds, âNot true, not true. Whether theyâre old rumors, new rumors, future rumors, not true.â
In the same video, CBS releases another moment from the interview where King brings up a claim made by R. Kellyâs alleged victims. âCorrect me if Iâm wrong, youâve never held anybody against their will,â she asks.
âI donât need to,â the 52-year-old rapper exclaims. âWhy would I? How stupid would it be for R. Kelly, with all I have been through in my way, way past to hold somebody, let alone 4, 5, 6, 50, you said, how stupid would I be to do that? Thatâs stupid guys!â
Speaking directly to camera, he continues, âThatâs stupid! Use your common sense. Forget how you feel about me. Hate me if you want to, love me if you want, but just use your common sense. How stupid would it be for me, with my crazy past and what Iâve been throughâŚâ
He adds, âOh, right now I just think I need to be a monster and hold girls against their will, chain them up in my basement and donât let them eat, donât let them out, unless they need some shoes down the street from their uncle. Stop it.â
âYâall quit playing. Quit playing! I didnât do this stuff,â he says, raising his voice and breaking down into tears. âThis is not me! Iâm fighting for my fââg life!â
