Kellz is facing some heat.
R. Kelly is currently causing a stir on social media over his alleged new relationship with a teenager.
The 49-year-old R&B singer, who has faced numerous sexual assault charges throughout his career, is reportedly seeing 19-year-old model Halle Calhoun.
The 30 year age difference between them means Calhoun wasn’t even born when R. Kelly’s iconic single ‘I Believe I Can Fly’ was released.
However the couple were recently spotted together on a night out in Atlanta.
As expected, fans on social media have completely freaked out, with some expressing their shock and others seeing the funny side.

R. Kelly wrote "Age Aint nothing but a Number" for Aaliyah when she was 15. That should tell you everything you need to know

In the past, R. Kelly controversially dated a then-underage Aaliyah before marrying her in 1994.
He also stormed out of an interview in 2015 when questioned about his past sexual misconduct.
