R. Kelly tweeted out a picture of himself watching Kobe Bryant's final game Wednesday night, but he couldn't have prepared for what was coming his way.
The content of the tweet is innocent enough — the Grammy-winning singer just wanted to pay his respects like many other celebrities. But other celebrities have televisions on their walls that aren't made for ants.

There is plenty more where that came from, by the way.
All of this abuse could get a person down, but R. Kelly took the high road and seemed to have fun with it. For the record, he wanted to make it clear that was not his television.
@LoMed1978 ya'll are trippin'! I wasn't watching the game at my place 😂😂
