Phony Wire story about R. Kelly confirmed as fake

LOS ANGELES (R. Kelly PR Team) - A fake story allegedly written by the Associated Press about R&B star R. Kelly and the younger sister of R&B vocalist Ashanti has been circulating on the Internet and was mistakenly picked up and broadcast on at least two major radio stations.

Supposedly written by AP music reporter Nekesa Mumbi Moody, the phony story makes false claims from unnamed sources that Kelly made sexual advances toward Ashanti's younger sister at a recent awards show.
There is no truth to this story or any subsequent reports based on this false and misleading hoax.

Ashanti personally telephoned New York radio station HOT 97 this morning to set the record straight.
AP reporter Nekesa Mumbi Moody has also confirmed that the article was not written by her nor distributed by the Associated Press wire service.
