R. Kelly is ready for his Single Ladies tour and the release of his next album. “The name of his next album is ‘Black Panties’ — that’s my next ’12 Play,'” he said, referring to his classic album filled with sexual material. “I’m going to have some fun on it.”
R. Kelly also plans to have fun on his upcoming “Single Ladies” North American tour, which kicks off Oct. 13 in Columbia, S.C., and runs through December. Kelly said he aims for it to be “one big giant ‘Dating Game.'”
“We really want the single ladies up there, and where guys know there’s single ladies, they’re going to be in the mix, because they’re looking for a woman,” he said.
