The man some once considered to be the “King of R&B,” R. Kelly, released a new album from federal prison Friday.

Titled I Admit It, the album comes as Kelly, born Robert Sylvester Kelly, is serving a sentence for sex crimes, according to a report.

The album consists of 13 songs, and it includes three tracks, all called “I Admit It (I Did It).”

Labeled parts one, two, and three, part two addresses some of the most serious allegations against the artist.

“I admit I f*** with all the ladies that’s both older and young ladies,” Kelly raps.

“But tell me how they call it pedophile because that sh*t is crazy. You may have your opinions, entitled to your opinions, but, really, am I supposed to go to jail or lose my career because of your opinion?” 

Kelly’s 56-minute album was briefly uploaded on various streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music.

Apple and Spotify have since removed the album.

In June, the artist was sentenced to 30 years in prison by a Brooklyn court after he was found guilty last September in a federal sex-trafficking case.

A federal grand jury in Chicago also convicted him in September for the production of child pornography and enticing minors for sex.
