R. Kelly's Case Has Done His Career Little Harm, Say Fergie, Lupe Fiasco, Chris Brown, Lloyd, Others

Apparently, everyone wants to be in business with R. Kelly. In a not-very-scientific sampling, an overwhelming number of artists agree: Not only would they work with the hitmaker — who faces 14 counts of child pornography — they'd love to.
"We actually were in talks to do something," Fergie said.
"R, if you're listening, I want a track from you!" Three 6 Mafia's DJ Paul told us.
And why wouldn't they? In the five years since the R&B singer was indicted on child-pornography charges, the radio bans have lifted, the protests have died out, and the outrage has dimmed. Though his criminal trial was slated to start this week (only to be postponed, with a new date to be determined possibly as soon as his next hearing on September 28), career-wise, Kelly is bigger than ever before.
