In April 2018, the Women of Color branch of the Time's Up movement announced their support for the Mute R. However, both Kelly and the daughters refuted the claims. The article characterized Kelly's operations as a "cult", and included interviews with three of Kelly's former associates. In July 2017, Jim DeRogatis contributed an article to BuzzFeed News detailing legal investigations from three families regarding their daughters' alleged kidnappings after they established relationships with Kelly. "I Admit" is Kelly's first release since his 2016 holiday album, 12 Nights of Christmas. Time's Up advocated for a boycott of Kelly's music in 2018. The song also attracted criticism on social media. Kelly's ex-wife, Andrea Kelly, and brother, Carey Killa Kelly, released songs in response to "I Admit" that contain additional allegations against R. The release of "I Admit" led to a response from DeRogatis, who defended his journalism in two interviews. Reviewers noted that Kelly's lyrics more closely resemble a self-defense than an admission or mea culpa. The song was compared to Kelly's rap opera Trapped in the Closet and O. Some reviewers contrasted the title with the lack of criminal admissions in the lyrics, and described the song as an act of trolling. The song contains an uncredited sample of "Wash Away", composed by Freddie Joachim.Ĭritics reviewed "I Admit" unfavorably. The lyrics rebuke Jim DeRogatis for his BuzzFeed News report, and disavow the report's allegations that Kelly is in charge of a "sex cult". Kelly does not make any criminal admissions, but instead denies allegations of domestic violence and pedophilia. In "I Admit", Kelly makes a number of confessions, including that he is dyslexic, that he has been sexually unfaithful, and that he was raped. The release of "I Admit" followed a 2017 BuzzFeed News investigative report that alleged that Kelly operated a "sex cult", and a 2018 boycott of Kelly backed by Time's Up. "I Admit" was written by Kelly and Raphael Ramos Oliveira, and produced by Kelly and Noc. Released on SoundCloud on July 23, 2018, the song addresses the singer's sex scandals and allegations. " I Admit" is a 19-minute song by American singer R.
