Y’all not gonna mute the music,” Moore says while discussing Kelly. Moore goes on to say, “there’s a judgement that happens, but we’re just judgemental people at times. Especially with all the media, and all the industry is quick to attack, but if these young ladies are over 21, they are responsible for what they are doing.”
