Kellz hasn’t been able to sweep his sexual assault past under the rug too much, as it’s definitely made interviews almost out of the question for him. The singer was charged with sexual assault of a minor after a sex tape was released of him allegedly urinating on a 14-year-old girl at the time, but the verdict came out as not guilty. Despite most of music fans ruling that it was, in fact, him in the tape, the charges never impacted his career, even though there was a lot of damage done to his image. Since then, he’s been able to release tons of new music, go on tours, and receive awards, but interviews have become quite difficult with the topic coming up more often than not.
