R. Kelly bullies autistic fan into singing 'I Believe I Can Fly' and then accuses him of 'smoking percocet' to get high
The rapper admits he was 'tipsy' and didn't realise the fan was autistic
R. Kelly has been caught on camera making fun of an autistic fan outside a club in LA.
In a clip obtained by TMZ, the 50-year-old rapper bullied the man into singing one of his songs and then accused him of being high on percocet - a painkiller.
Lenny Felix was out in Hollywood when he spotted the singer and the 27 year old was completely star struck.
R. Kelly encouraged the fan to sing: "I Believe I Can Fly."
The singer then stepped in and singing into the camera, he openly mocked the man.
"I believe that your high," he sang.
"I believe that your touching the sky, smoking on that Percocet, where you goin' tell me whats next."
R. Kelly has since removed the video of Lenny from his social media.
But his family told TMZ that their son's reaction to the clip was: "I don't want him to think I'm dumb. Do you think he was making fun of me?"
His mum is now reported to have met with a lawyer over the video.
It's not the first time a rapper made fun of a disability fan and ended up in hot water.
50 Cent, Shaquille O'Neal and Waka Flaka have all been sued after mocking fans with disabilities in the past.
After the clip surfaced online this morning, R. Kelly took to Instagram to respond to the allegations that he was making fun of an autistic fan.
"Now people want to say I'm making fun of people with autism, totally not true," he said.
"I was coming from a club the other night and I was tipsy and everyone else was tipsy.
"It was about 2 o'clock in the morning and there was a guy coming up to me, a fan, and it didn't seem like he had autism to me at all and I apologise to him if he did but he appeared drunk to me.
"He was singing me songs and security had to get him up off me a couple of times because he was coming a little bit too close, but it was all good.
"I welcomed the guy, I joked with him, like I do everybody, had him singing one of my songs, I was singing the song, I felt pretty good and very positive.
"But the point is everything I do, I seriously can't do anything without people saying something negative about me."
