Erykah Badu Wants Us To Send Out a Prayer to R. Kelly

Erykah Badu was doing a show Saturday at Chicago's Aragon Ballroom, where she stopped her performance at one point to launch into a tangent about R. Kelly.

Erykah said she wanted to send out a prayer to "R," which stunned the crowd for the worse. She said she hopes he sees the light of day if he's done all the things he was accused of on "Surviving R. Kelly."

As the boos mounted, Erykah continued her remarks by openly wondering if anyone who was allegedly assaulted by R. Kelly went on to be an offender themselves ... do they too deserve to be crucified? 
​
People in attendance say a few people even got up and left the venue because of how turned off they were by her defending the embattled singer.
