DRAKE CREDITS R KELLY ON NEW TRACK
Drake has credited R Kelly as a co writer on his new track 'TSU'.
The Independent reports the album, which was produced by Harley Arsenault, Noel, and OG Ron C, also credits Justin Timberlake and T Mosley.
It is unclear what direct involvement R Kelly had with the project.
The controversial move comes as R Kelly is currently standing trial in New York on child sex abuse charges.
The credit does not necessarily mean Drake worked with R Kelly on the track. Famously Taylor Swift credited Right Said Fred on her 2017 single 'Look What You Made Me Do' because she sampled the rhythm from their 'Model' hit for the chorus line.
They had nothing to do with production – and reportedly only found out when the song was released – but crucially were able to claim a chunk of royalties.
