During an interview with GQ, R. Kelly bizarrely revealed that he wrote the main section of ‘Ignition’ (Remix) around five years before he wrote ‘Ignition’ – especially the lines:
“It's the remix to 'Ignition'/ hot and fresh out the kitchen”
However he apparently shelved the lyrics because he didn’t think they were any good.
When R. Kelly was asked about how he was able to write the remix to a song that doesn’t exist yet, he admitted it was “ass-backwards”.
The ‘Ignition’ remix and original were both placed on his 2003 album ‘Chocolate Factory’.
Meanwhile, R. Kelly has been in the news recently for after he was reportedly evicted from two of his houses, including the one in which he allegedly had a sex cult.
