B2K star, Omarion, is the latest celebrity to openly criticize embattled R’n’B singer, R.Kelly, following the damning allegations that have come to light with the release of the documentary #SurvivingRKelly.

Over three days, Lifetime aired the documentary detailing controversial allegations of the singer’s sexual activities with underage girls and also his domestic abuse on his ex-wife Andrea Kelly.
On Sunday, Omarion went on Twitter to announce that after his upcoming ‘The Millenium Tour’, he’d be retiring any of his songs which Kelly had written for him and the group.
Omarion, however, noted that while the whole world needed to hold R.Kelly for his actions, he said the accused was also a victim as much as he is a predator and should be given the professional help that he requires.
He tweeted:
As an artist & a champion of the arts, I am moved to share my position on #SurvivingRKelly which I haven’t seen but felt compelled to voice my position on this very serious issue since #rkelly has written songs for #B2K.

It’s important first to ACKNOWLEDGE that this has been an ugly truth in our industry for years and as opposed to dismissing it’s existence | its time to discuss it. EVERYONE has to be RESPONSIBLE. Many have bared witness to the unthinkable and yet have remained silent.

Those responsible must be held accountable. #rkelly was both a victim & a predator & accordingly must be held accountable but also get professional help. His artistic genius inspired us all. His music is being muted by the darkness of his actions. The dark always comes to light.

I pray that everyone effected by this tragedy gets the help & support they need to live a better life. When you know better , you do better.
