Nick Cannon: Girls are Drawn to R Kelly Because of the Potential for Fame (Flashback)

In this flashback clip from December of 2017, Nick Cannon spoke on the long-stemming controversy that's surrounded R. Kelly over the years, while speaking to the dynamic that's allowed him to form unconventional relationships with countless women throughout his career. "I think it's the idea of fame and superficial prosperity," Cannon suggested during the segment, "that a man with money can give them everything they want and they're drawn to that." Throughout the clip, however, Cannon notes how there have been numerous other celebrities who have seemingly gotten a pass for the same behavior, though he maintains that the power dynamic in those instances remains the same.
