Raheem DeVaughn Reveals How R. Kelly Stole His Song 'Customer', Declined Feature 

Raheem is definitely under rated his first album is still my favorite u can just let that shit play all the way through 💯

I have been rocking with Raheem Devaughn since his first album. This man is Uber Talented!!! Trust me, ladies... listen to this man's music.

At one point having an R Kelly feature was basically like having that Chris brown ft on your record. Having R Kelly on the hook jumpstarted so many artists careers

Kelz said, “if u thirsty, I got that good good lemonade!!!!! Man bruh is a savage. He talkin bout peeing years later

Kells killed da remix thou 💯

damn it took him 7 minutes to tell the story. he went all around the world.

Now years ago I remember Raheem said he was upset because his label called Kellz to remix without him knowing, and he first heard it on the radio, but we all know Kellz on the track makes it a hit💯

Kelly's verse was fire on the song

I think Raheem is and was definitely underrated. The man can hold his own with some of the best!

Say what you want about R Kelly but he was a genius. Kicking him while he’s already down won’t help anything

If you ever get a chance to see him live he doesn’t miss! He puts on a great show. One of my favorites!!!!! And he isn’t done he is still making quality music.

I feel him but Kelz snapped on the song I’m sure it was a labeled thing

R Kelley’s version was the ONLY reason I know Raheem Devaughn. I’m a fan, thank that man for jacking your song

Rkelly being on the record made it pop

It’s interesting people are saying he took forever to get to the point and he was rambling. But the man isn’t there to talk about r. Kelly. He’s discussing his career and his life. Y’all clicked for a tag line but this man is legendary in his own right. I respect him for wanting to distance himself because the whispers have ALWAYS existed around that man and so many ignored it for the clout.

RKelly is STILL the King of R&B

He knew R.kelly had 3 studios and did multiple songs a day but he acting like 3 days would have pushed back his career 🥴🥴🥴 R.Kelly made every one remix better

Kellz killed the remix. Both versions fire but always love a Kellz remix

Respect to Raheem Devaughn but we need more interviews on comedians and comedic actors and actresses. Especially the ones from the 80s and 90s and early 00s. Leave these music artists like Raheem Devaughn to go on R&B Money Podcast

raheem trying down play R kelly , he aint got to be the original writter r kelly can highlight any record he on, and can out do the artist on their own damn song respect ya elders raheem

When someone's starts stuttering all of a sudden .you know they lying...RKelly killed that remix and introduced you to a new audience...just give the man his props...we talking King of RnB

Bro I call CAP .. respect fr but aint no way u saying you'd rather have a Trey cosign over Kellz.. idc what that man going thru there ain't no way... boy sounds silly here.. Kellz blessing that song is the sole reason why a lot of ppl even know who you are.. and Trey going through some shit right now himself! Wasn't this guy signed to Jive records? The label who had Kellz as their biggest rnb artist? So why wouldn't they put him on your tracc to give your career a head start as an rnb on the same record label? While still putting their biggest rnb draw out there to shine? But your idea was nah pull Trey from Atlantic because that's my choice? You see why record labels control things like this? Your thoughts aren't logical or business friendly lol.. my guy is fried

R. Kelly killed the Customer remix. The original is ok. But R. Kelly killed the track. But in a good way of course.

Took my baby sister to see him on her birthday back in the day. One of the best concerts I've ever experienced

This man is a showman. He puts a good show every time I have seen him. He is a classic and that will last him longer than any pop up pop start plant

R Kelly sliiddddd on that remix I still listen to it to this day “ Girl you’ll be contagious and callin me Ronald, serve you up drive thru style like McDonald’s” 😂😂😂😂😂😂💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

This man said a million words to say one sentence

Customer my favorite song w/R Kelly Update: Stop the 🧢 ...the remix king elevated "customer". Whispers or not, the creative talent is there...the man catalog speaks for itslef

R Kelly killed that remix though 🔥

He said his own sound but Michael Jackson had Kells to sing back up to u are not alone that kells wrote for Michael Jackson because Michael Jackson said he sounds just like him . Funny how people didn't know that it was kells singing to hook when we thought it was Michael Jackson

Raheem DeVaughn is SEVERELY UNDERRATED! Keep talking your talk KING. ❤

I love Raheem I remember when I first heard “Guess who loves you more” and “ My soul ain’t for sale” I was hooked. The original customer is a great listen but that Kelly remix hit different.. look we all know Kellz is a piece of shit but his remix skills are up there with Teddy Darkchild and Diddy.. we all know back in the day when they remixed a song they ain’t play with it

To be honest the original customer song got rkelly DNA in that song n that dont sound like a raheem song it sound like a kellz I c y u Holla at trey songs

Y'all don't have to like Kelis, but come on now but the man presence on a track made a world of difference. That's why I don't believe him. At that period of time the rumors about R. Kelly was swept under the rug. Everyone wanted Kelis stamp on their records. They overlooked what happened in the past, so R.D. tried to clear his association with Kelis before C.H could ask him about Kelis.

R Kelly is the King of R&B.... And, that's a FACT!!!

I love any interviews for black artist and creatives. Keep it up. We have to support and showcase our own because mainstream will not do it. They only do it if they are big names or a scandal.

R Kelly is the R&B King and a musical genius Point Blank period

I was a big fan of Raheem when he first came out. He had his own sound for sure. I will say that the remix to customer is better than the original. But R kelly said on the song it reminded him of something he would do lol.

So let me get this right! I heard you say your people wanted you to work with R Kelly! You said No! And you say R Kelly stole your song! He ripped your beat! And made a dope song! Look like he schooled you!

Well in that case let me take it off my playlist R.Kelly is the reason I listened to the song. Kelly's part was the best

FREE KELLZ HE STILL THE KING

Chile bye 😂. Whether kelz was the original writer or not credit was given to kelz as being one of the writers! So dont all of a sudden now try to publicly down play kelz when you know out of all the writers im sure kelz was #1 cause he the only one you hating on. kelz took that mug and remixed it 😅 had him like what the f... Dude just give credit where its due to the king of r n b of 30+ years. You know darn well kelz that ninja in the r n b game and you tryna play kelz like a lame putting trey songz over him. Trey Songz wouldnt even put himself over kelz ijs🤦🤷‍♂️.

At one point having an R. Kelly feature or hook on a song would put an upcoming artist on the map. R. Kelly was a one point a hit maker and every song he touched would turn to gold. Shame he ruined his legacy.

Michael Jackson came for more than 3 days to r.kelly studio he didn't have a problem

R Kelly and PAC are at that Marvin Gaye level, everyone else is under that. Raheem is a Baddd- man, but R Kelly is the King of R and B for over 30 years.

no disrespect to my dc brother raheem, but kellz took that song customer to a whole nother level with that remix. ijs! seems like a win/win if you ask me

Arrogant Kellz gave this man his props through the whole song.

Everyone seems to be 💩itting on Raheem for this interview and saying that he's lying. While I personally like the remix, I was under the impression that this was an R. & Raheem collab, but I learned years ago that wasn't the case. Those of you saying he waited until R. was locked up to say something are mistaken. He's said it before. His feelings are his feelings. Perhaps he wasn't blindsided by the fame and notoriety of R. and didn't want his name attached to what was rumored back in the day. Who knows what came with that. Like the man or not, the song was a hit even though he feels he was robbed. P.s. Listen to R's verse where he says he's not trying to smash or outshine anyone and then he says the song reminds him of something he would do...I think that supports Rah's claim. It sounds like Kelly heard it and said let me hop on that & the 1st line could have been dig. I don't know...I might be reaching.

I saw Raheem perform with Dru Hill last year... He was AMAZING 🤩

I respect his music but, he didn’t say this when the customer remix was playing. Kelly ran R&B for 30 years probably woulda been still on top if legal issues didn’t destroy him. A lot of these R&B guys like to talk about him now but, woulda never tried the King of R&B if he was actively recording now. His fans will never respect y’all because we all know that’s who the R&B guys was chasing. Trey will tell you himself. You will never be on that level of the music game if you will not give it up and keep it real who is the King of R&B. Where are your classic albums bruh?

His ego stopped him from who knows how many hit records

R.Kelly bless you he is the king🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

That's one of my favorite songs. I still listen to it; all 3 versions!

Raheem debut album was iconic. Pure artistry

Do the label did it )called him to be apart of not Kellz himself just jumping on it? The song had a Kellz type of flare it was fitting from a listeners point of view

Bruh, you talkin’ one song, RKelly a genius!

Customer was ok without R Kelly but with him it’s a smash. This interview was hard to watch because he sounds like Jack Jenkins from Harlem Nights.

The remix is always fire. I don’t give 3 phucks about all that other stuff

what does this have to do with comedy? their topics and interviews are all over the place now.

The song was lit but Kellz made it a classic.

I love me some him! He's extremely talented. True R&B and He is consistently making music. He reminds me of Tank in that way. Mo Better, Empty, Black Ice Cream, Text Messages, my Raheem list is long. Customer was a hit but he has some amazing classics .

Met Raheem in Miami back in 2016. Spotted him coming into wet Willy’s by himself i think…super cool, just walking around. I remember we took a pic together and I posted it on FB. Everybody was commenting saying they had no clue who he was. I was so confusion lol like how 🤔🥴 ?? I still have the pic too

AINT NOBTODY COMING TO SEE U OTIS!

Be honored you had the 🐐 on your song

I was told when a person starts doing a lot of stuttering after not stuttering through an entire convo, watch for the lie. He sounds like now that he has gained some notoriety, he is putting on. The Kelly verse took Raheem from D-list artist to a strong B-list artist. Raheem doesnt have but a hand full of really good records…let’s be 100% transparent.

R Kelly killed that song and Raheems career on that remix 😂

R.Kelly ate him up. I only listen to the King part.

When KELLZ gets on your track trust me as a Fan the other artist will feel like they are the feature 😂😂 because KELLZ is the GOAT!! "WE NEED A SURVIVAL TOUR/FREE KELLZ" 💯

I don’t think he needed to even remix the song!! He sounded dope on his own.

Kellz blew that song up.

R. Kelly is the king of R&B stop playing🤫

So where the fuck did R Kelly take his song. Don't get sued bro like everyone else

Songs “You” & “Garden of Love” are my jams.

I know this is a black foreign ran channel so i will be short and to the point. Kells ain't NEVER stolen ANY music. He was called to get on the remix. Devanghn is cool.... but he better sit his ass down somewhere. Kells is a legend. This man had one hit.

R kelly version was better

🤔Well Historically ☝️T.J. Swann & Miss Jones kinda hav the credits for "R&B Hip-Hop Soul" on Mixtapes FIRST long b4 Rah

Great interview. Now this is good content. Good Media. I truly appreciate this. Great Job. I was informed and entertained and provided great insight into an artist.

I had to comment again shits crazy! I look at how Jay-Z would recite biggie lines paying homage. R. Kelly got a big fan base even after the charges. We still looking for somebody to take it and run with it and make that kind of music he would kill the R&B game with. A big problem I have is that y’all are trying to knock him and he couldn’t read or write. He dominated the game and made artist want to be him because it’s plenty of RU-vid video of them those accolades as the King of R&B. Make music that will captivate his fans and stop hating on him it doesn’t work we know the real from the 90’s 2000’s 2010’s…

I really don't think he is the first R&B artist to make a mixtape

A lot of artists dont like to be outshined on their own song

Got on my nerves with all that stuttering and beating around the fact. If he stole it then say it damn😡😡😡

Simply put he didn't have control of the song if he didn't know that Kelly had did the remix.. so he didn't steal your record.. its obvious that record needed someone to make it pop..

Comedy Hype is booking great guest lately! This guy doesn’t interview much.

People really need to put some respect on the love kings name.

R.Kelly is The King of R&B

He gives me R&B Soulja Boy Vibes

He jacked your record to make it hotter

I bet he didn’t like when Kells said he got some good lemonade 😂

I like your music and all, but i can love without it. Most people are going with Kells over you any day😂

Black Ice cream is my wife and I smash song, thanks Raheem. 😂

Why wait until he's incarcerated to speak about it, sounds ........................ you know

I dont like the title ... if it wasnt for Kelly hopping on that track, i wouldn’t have been a huge Raheem fan❤ i also love how Raheem sings Sadie by R.Kelly

Customer was the slap

Dont he understands r.kelly has an whole album with nothing but remixes somgs. Lol😂😂😂😂

And then you do a song called “Temperature’s Rising” !! For real??? Come on Raheem!!! You cappin!!

I remember when he first came out doing shows on U Street. I think I saw him at The Saint. I was surprised when he signed with Jive. Rumblings around town were that R Kelly dominated the label and any competition would have a tough time…very talented brotha. I like the record he put out with Boney James.

Never knew there was a remix. I just listened to it. I stand by the original.

Now I wanna hear the Trey Songz version

"Ignition" (not the remix) and "You Remind Me" are the greastest songs ever wrote by man go read the lyrics if you dont agree. 😂😂😂

Rah first project is classic
