Buku Abi is MORE than just R. Kelly's daughter and she wants everyone to know it. Watch the "Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta" star open up about living in his shadow in our exclusive sneak peek inside....
It must be hard being Buku Abi (born Joann Kelly)- eldest daughter of embattled singer R. Kelly. Throughout her entire life, rumors have swirled about her dad allegedly sexually abusing minors. Ish has really hit the fan now that the "I Believe I Can Fly" singer has been arrested on federal sex crime charges and denied a bond release.
On tomorrow's night episode of "Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta," Buku opens up to co-stars Tammy Rivera, Ayana Fite, and Bow Wow's mom, Teresa Caldwell, about what it's like living in her father's shadow. She's sick of it.
"My dad being R. Kelly, it's been hard for me to have my own identity in my life," she shared.
She said she's trying to make her own lane in the music game as a singer-songwriter and she doesn't want to just be known as Kelly's daughter. Understandable, for sure.
