Time's Up Has Launched A Campaign To Boycott R. Kelly
Frank Franklin Ii / AP
Women of color in the Hollywood-led anti-sexual harassment initiative Time’s Up on Monday called for a boycott of R. Kelly and his music in response to the allegations of sexual abuse against the R&B singer.
“We demand appropriate investigations and inquiries into the allegations of R. Kelly’s abuse made by women of color and their families for over two decades now,” the Times Up initiative said in a statement posted on their social media channels. “And we declare with great vigilance and a united voice to anyone who wants to silence us: Their time is up.”
The group specifically called out RCA Records, Ticketmaster, Spotify, and Apple Music for producing or selling Kelly’s music. They also blasted North Carolina’s Greensboro Coliseum Complex for hosting a Kelly concert scheduled for May 11.
Kelly, 51, has long denied the abuse allegations against him.
"R. Kelly supports the pro-women goals of the Time’s Up movement. We understand criticizing a famous artist is a good way to draw attention to those goals — and in this case, it is unjust and off-target," his representative said in a statement to BuzzFeed News, calling the criticism of him an "attempted public lynching of a black man who has made extraordinary contributions to our culture."
"We fully support the rights of women to be empowered to make their own choices," the statement added. "Time’s Up has neglected to speak with any of the women who welcome R. Kelly’s support, and it has rushed to judgment without the facts." The statement said he is a victim of a "greedy, conscious and malicious conspiracy to demean him."
The campaign dubbed #MuteRKelly, which originally began last year, quickly received support on Monday from a number of top celebs, both female and male, as well as Tarana Burke, who is credited as being the founder of the #MeToo movement.
Tim Savage, the father of Joycelyn Savage, one of the women alleged to be involved in the singer’s so-called “cult”, told BuzzFeed News that “it’s been a long time coming to help these girls,” adding that he was “very appreciative” of the #MuteRKelly campaign.
“I would love to hear from Time’s Up and help them help us move in a direction to where we can bring these girls out and bring this to an end,” he said.
Jerhonda Pace, a woman who said Kelly abused her when she was a minor, tweeted, “My heart is full.”
#MuteRKelly was first launched last year by Oronike Odeleye and Kenyette Barnes in a bid to pressure radio stations to stop play Kelly’s music. (The pair did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday).
“Someone had to stand up for Black women, and if I wasn’t willing to do my part — no matter how small — then I couldn’t continue to complain,” Odeleye said on the petition’s website.
“It’s time for us to end this man’s career. Enough is beyond enough.”
On Sunday, Kelly posted a video statement to his social channels when news broke that he would be dropped from the upcoming 2018 Love Jam concert in Chicago on May 5 following protests from several members of the community.
“I’ve never heard of of a show being canceled because of rumors,” he said. “But I guess there’s a first time for everything.”
Savage said he was shocked by Kelly’s response to the performance cancellation.
“This man feels that he has no knowledge of what has been going on for the past two years that my daughter has been in that house,” Savage said.

Definitive Proof That Every Horrible Thing That Happens In "Avengers: Infinity War" Is Loki's Fault
Here’s how one emo man baby got everybody killed.
In case you didn't have time to rewatch 18 movies to prepare for Avengers: Infinity War, here is a little rundown of how every horrible, shocking, absolutely awful thing that happens in that dumb movie is completely Loki and Thor's fault.
MARVEL
Alright, so in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Asgard is sort of like the closest thing there is to a galactic governing body.
MARVEL
When we first get introduced to Asgard in Thor (2011), it's being ruled by Odin and his two piece of shit whiny baby adult sons.
MARVEL
Helping Odin watch over the nine realms is Heimdall, literally the only responsible Asgardian. He has the ability to see and hear everything in the universe and he guards the entrance to Asgard, called the Bifrost.
MARVEL
Until these two absolute clowns got involved, Odin and Heimdall guarded over the universe and made sure extinction-level events weren't a regular occurrence.
MARVEL
In Thor, everything goes ass up when Loki secretly has a bunch of Frost Giants show up to attack Asgard because he's mad at all the attention his dad is giving Thor.
MARVEL
Which makes Thor have a big idiot tantrum because the Frost Giant attack ruins his coronation. Then Loki manipulates Thor into going over to where the Frost Giants live and beating everyone up.
MARVEL
Odin finds out that his idiot son has violated a centuries-old peace treaty and banishes Thor to Earth.
MARVEL
*Nordic angst intensifies*
MARVEL
Meanwhile, back on Asgard, Terrible Son #2 becomes king and Odin goes into a thing called Odinsleep. Basically, a really long magical nap.
MARVEL
Loki stirs up a whole bunch of drama with the Frost Giants, tries to kill Odin, and also sends a big robot to go kill Thor, who's still stuck in New Mexico.
MARVEL
Thor fights Loki's big robot and they destroy a bunch of gas stations or whatever. Thor defeats the robot, goes back to Asgard, and tries to stop Loki.
MARVEL
Which destroys the Bifrost Bridge.
MARVEL
And sends Loki hurdling through space.
MARVEL
Right, so after causing all that completely unnecessary drama, Loki decides he's not done being a complete dick and makes a deal with Thanos in the beginning of The Avengers (2012).
MARVEL / Via mtv.com
The Tesseract with the Space Stone, if you'll recall from Captain America: The First Avenger, has been in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s custody ever since they took it from HYDRA way back in World War II.
Although, the fact the Tesseract was on Earth in the first place is an indication that perhaps Asgardians aren't actually that good at protecting Infinity Stones.
MARVEL
Loki uses the Mind Stone to get the Space Stone and opens up a portal above New York.
MARVEL
Which means this happens.
MARVEL
And this happens.
Hey, New York, sorry about all the deaths, Thor and Loki have some unresolved issues they're tying to work through.
MARVEL
By the end of The Avengers, Thor has both the Space Stone and Loki locked up. Except Thor, being a giant idiot, leaves the Mind Stone on Earth, but we'll get to that in a sec.
MARVEL
After the Battle of New York, Thanos has now realized that the Earth isn't going to be an easy planet to conquer, so he's got to really step up his game if he wants to take on The Avengers.
Cool! Thanks, Loki! Hope 50% of the universe's population was worth it, you Hot Topic disaster.
MARVEL
Until he uses the chaos around Thor's battle with the Dark Elves to usurp Odin's throne AGAIN. He uses his glamour abilities to convince everyone he's Odin and banishes his father to Earth.
This fucking guy.
MARVEL
When Thor shows up back on Asgard in Thor: Ragnarok, he obviously immediately clocks that Loki is pretending to be Odin and calls him out for it.
MARVEL
Which would be fine except the real world time between MCU movies is roughly in sync with the make believe time that passes in-universe, which means Loki spends FOUR YEARS pretending to be Odin.
MARVEL
Where's Thor this whole time? Still cleaning up Loki's fucking mess. Pretty much everything that happens in Avengers: Age Of Ultron is Loki's fault.
• Loki brings the Mind Stone to Earth.
• The Mind Stone is captured by compromised S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who give it over to HYDRA.
• HYDRA uses the Mind Stone to give Wanda and Pietro Maximoff superpowers.
• Who then use their abilities to trick Tony Stark into building Ultron.
• Who then tries to create the extinction level event that Thanos has been trying to bring to Earth.
MARVEL
We learn in Thor: Ragnarok from Hela that the Infinity Gauntlet that's supposed to be chilling safely in Odin's vault this whole time is actually a replica.
Which means maybe Thor and Loki get their complete lack of forethought from their dad.
MARVEL
And in Avengers: Infinity War, Thor, Rocket, and Groot head to one of the Nine Realms, Nidavellir, and find out that Thanos has killed all the dwarves there and used their forge to make the real Infinity Gauntlet.
MARVEL
The same very real Infinity Gauntlet we see in an Age Of Ultron post-credit scene were Thanos says, "Fine, I'll do it myself." Age Of Ultron is about two years into Loki's rule as fake Odin.
MARVEL
The minute Thanos got to Nidavellir, Heimdall would have been able to see it and would have been able to tell Odin. EXCEPT when Loki takes over Asgard, he replaces Heimdall with Skurge, possibly the dumbest Asgardian of all.
I hate you, Skurge.
MARVEL
Which means, during the four years where Heimdall isn't guarding the Bifrost and Odin is banished on Earth, Thanos is making moves.
MARVEL
And what's Loki doing this whole time?

Forcing Matt Damon to do weird plays!
Fuck you too, Matt Damon.
MARVEL / Via artefactoscomicmanga.blogspot.co.uk
So let's summarize every dumb thing that Loki has done by the time we see him in Infinity War, shall we?
• He got Thor banished to Earth.
• He's the reason Selvig meets Nick Fury and gets access to the Space Stone in the first place.
• He puts Earth on Thanos' radar.
• His deal with Thanos leaves the Mind Stone on Earth and that ultimately results in Ultron being created.
• The Mind Stone also gives Wanda Maximoff the powers that send Thor off on a quest to stop Ragnarok for four years.
• He takes over Asgard and allows Thanos to secretly forge the Infinity Gauntlet.
MARVEL
Oh, and here's one last one for you. The Tesseract could have been destroyed in Thor: Ragnarok, which would have meant that Thanos wouldn't have been able to finish the gauntlet, except Loki stole the Tesseract off Asgard, brought it onto the Asgardian refugee ship, and got everyone killed.
MARVEL
Oh my god, I'm just realizing this as I'm writing this, The Avengers' fight with Ultron inspires The Sokovia Accords, which is what divides the team in Captain America: Civil War, which is why when Thanos' Black Order goons show up on Earth in Infinity War, they aren't ready for him.
I HATE YOU LOKI.
MARVEL
Anyways, there you go, one emo fuckboi caused the annihilation of half the known universe because he was mad at his dad.

Here's The Video For Lin-Manuel Miranda's Latest #Hamildrop, "First Burn"
The “Hamilton” creator said he was inspired by great heartbreak songs, like Whitney Houston’s “It’s Not Right But It’s Okay” and Toni Braxton’s “Love Shoulda Brought You Home.”
Lin-Manuel Miranda debuted an exclusive sneak peek of the video for his latest #Hamildrop, "First Burn," on BuzzFeed News' AM to DM on Monday.
Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty Images
In case you didn't know, #Hamildrops are monthly releases of new Hamilton content, first announced at the end of 2017 by Miranda.
According to Miranda, the releases will continue through December of 2018.
The song's title came about because it was one of Miranda's first drafts of "Burn" from the Hamilton musical — a song that was first sung by Phillipa Soo, who originated the role of Eliza Hamilton.
Neilson Barnard / Getty Images
Miranda revealed that "First Burn" came about in a unique way. While on the HamilCast podcast, he stopped by to play some tunes that "didn't make it to the show" and upon listening to it again he said, "This is kind of dope."
Afterward, he went back to his label and focused on reworking the song while showcasing the wealth of talent in different companies that produce the musical.

Use This Scientific "Boy Meets World" Jelly Bean Test To See Who You Really Belong With
Shawn Hunter really knew how to settle a love triangle.
OK, so let's just get this out of the way: Boy Meets World is one of the greatest shows to ever grace our television screens.

Buena Vista Television
But in season 5, while Cory and Topanga were going through an uncertain time in their relationship, Cory kissed (Or got kissed by??? Up to you to decide) the ski lodge girl, Lauren, and things got complicated.
Buena Vista
Luckily Cory's best friend Shawn devised a foolproof way to help him decide: the Jelly Bean Test.
Buena Vista
And now we're going to use this highly scientific test to figure out who you — yes, you! — are supposed to be with.
