“Being in that house offered its own set of dysfunctional issues for me. I remember once again, feeling trapped. If I leave this house, I’m never gonna sing. The only reason I am on this label now is because R. Kelly said ‘this is a female me.’ So, I’m having to stay there, I don’t see my family, I don’t see anybody, but R. Kelly. “
