According to TMZ, Dion’s
team is currently in the process of getting rid of the track after the
documentary “Surviving R. Kelly” sparked controversy around the world.
The track was recorded by
the duo in 1998 and appeared on the Canadian singer’s holiday album.
It topped the Billboard Hot
100 charts and stayed at Number one for six weeks after selling more than 1.5
million copies.
Dion is now following in
Lady Gaga’s footsteps,who had also pulled her hit collaboration with the
R.Kelly, “Do What U Want With My Body”.
Lady Gaga said: “I stand
behind these women 1,000 per cent, believe them, know they are suffering and in
pain, and feel strongly that their voices should be heard and taken seriously.”
“What I am hearing about
the allegations against R. Kelly is absolutely horrifying and indefensible.”
NAN reports that a six-part
series documentary dubbed “Surviving R.Kelly”, focusing on the singer’s alleged
affairs with underage girls and sexual abuse was recently released.
It aired over three nights,
from January 3 to January 5, with filmmaker and music critic Dream Hampton as
its executive producer.
Since the shocking
documentary got released, many music artistes have aired their disgust at the
legendary singer.
The documentary sparked off
reactions across the globe, especially in the US, which caused the relevant
authorities to open a criminal
investigation on the R&B singer.(NAN)
