R. Kelly Pays Tribute To Nelson Mandela on The Arsenio Hall Show

R. Kelly stopped by The Arsenio Hall Show on Thursday night. He took some time backstage with the show’s host to reflect on Nelson Mandela’s passing just before paying tribute to the South African anti-apartheid revolutionary by performing the song he wrote for the world icon in “Soldier’s Heart” followed by a medley of “Shut Up” and “When a Woman Loves.” In addition to that, he also took time to discuss a diversity of subjects that includes Kelly’s mother support through personal struggles, current artists he listens to as well as using food as a metaphor in song lyrics.
