Rapper French Montana Faces Backlash for Controversial R. Kelly Comments

Interviewed by the celebrity website TMZ about the documentary that was devoted to this case, the Moroccan responded: "Let him appreciate his heritage, what happened belongs to the past," provoking the outrage of Internet users and pushing French Montana to apologize.

"My heart is with the victims. I would never have thought that the people I admired in my childhood, who sang and danced and gave me hope of becoming a superstar, would become drug addicts, child abusers and rapists. I hope our culture will create better leaders. We need them," he rectified.

A few days ago, it was the singer Lady Gaga’s turn to apologize for having collaborated in the past with the interpreter of "I Believe I Can Fly".
