The star also denied accusations, raised in the recent documentary Surviving R Kelly, that he held women against their will, confiscating their phones, restricting their food, and denying them access to their families.
Becoming emotional, he asked King: "How stupid would it be for R Kelly, with all I've been through to hold somebody? How stupid would I be to do that?"
"Use your common sense," he continued, raising his voice and turning to address the camera.
"Forget the blogs, forget how you feel about me. Hate me if you want to; love me if you want. But just use your common sense."
"How stupid would it be for me with my crazy past and what I've been through [to say], 'Oh right now, I just think I need to be a monster and hold girls against their will and chain them up in my basement?"
"Quit playing, quit playing," he said, becoming tearful. "This is not me."
At this point, Kelly stood up, pounding his fist and beating his chest as he declared: "Are you all trying to kill me?"
