R Kelly has finally had a moment in the media that was somewhat positive.

Despite being a disgraced, alleged child rapist and failing to capitalize on media interviews that refuse to allow the allegations stand unquestioned, R Kelly has had a brief viral moment that may grant him positive headlines in media outlets willing to give him press to fuel his fading R&B career.

A drunk white man ran into Robert Kelly while the singer was purchasing food at a Nathan’s Famous hot dog stand in Jacksonville, Florida. Unwilling to believe that R Kelly was indeed R Kelly, the drunkard bets the singer $100 in a singing competition. "That's 100 percent not R Kelly," the man says, while pointing to R Kelly.

Of course, R Kelly flexes his vocal skills and impressed the crowd of onlookers, still unconvinced, the losing party refuses to believe that he is indeed R Kelly. "That still ain't R Kelly," the man says. He also and realizes that he definitely does not have $100 to fulfill the terms of the bet. But he does offer his own take on R Kelly’s famous sensual '90s joint “Bump & Grind.”

“Oh my body, my body is telling me that I’m white,” the man belts out.
