R. Kelly’s daughter Buku Abi recently opened up about the way she feels about the convicted singer and songwriter. In a viral video shared by @FearedBuck on X, Buku, who accused her father of sexual assault, claimed that there was a misconception that she hated her father. The 27-year-old shared that that wasn't the case and that she loved him.“I love my father, ok. There is a big misconception that there is hate or animosity towards him—there is none of that. At the end of the day, I went through what I went through. My family went through what they went through, and I'm going to hold people accountable.”She continued:“However, that does not reflect how I feel about that man. I love my dad, and I support him as the artist that he is. But as a human being, you have a responsibility to uphold, and that's that.”More details on Buku Abi’s assault claims against R.

She recalled breaking down in front of her mum, who took her to the hospital, where she stayed in suicide watch for more than two weeks before a 2-to 3-month outpatient program.“I just got to a point where I didn’t care anymore. I didn’t care if I lived or died. I remember one day, my mom and I, we went to Target and I had to use the bathroom. We went to the bathroom, and she came out, and I was washing my hands, and she saw that my wrists were all cut up, and she just immediately dropped everything, and she was asking like, ‘What’s going on? Are you OK?”Buku Abi continued:“She was really worried, and in that moment, I broke down, and I had to tell her, like, ‘I don’t think I’m OK. I don’t think that I can do this. I don't think that I’m gonna make it through to live out the rest of my life.’”Also read: When did Britney Spears last perform on stage? Singer hopes to perform with her son in UK and Australia
