The fascinating tale of R. Kelly continues;

According to celebrity news source Perez Hilton, R. Kelly isn’t much a fan of reading – not even in grade school. Luckily a persistent teacher saw his undeniable writing talent and encouraged him to finish school anyways. Hooray for inspirational school teachers!

R. Kelly quotes from article:

“I don’t even read really and I’m not afraid to say that,” revealed Kelly. “The only reason I graduated from grammar school is because I had a great jump shot.”

“I went to high school and [my teacher] told me, ‘You will be one of the greatest writers of all time,'” said Kelly. “I believed. You [have to] believe it. You can’t believe [anything] if you’re hating.”
