R’n’B singer, R. Kelly has continued with the raunchy nature of his live shows despite his on-going sex cult scandal.

According to Billboard, Kelly began his latest set of tour dates on Friday night in Virginia and didn’t reduce the intensity of the sexual nature of his performance at all.

At one point, he was reported to have grabbed a female fan’s phone and, after singing into it, rubbed the device on his crotch area before returning it to its owner. Later on, he encouraged female fans to wipe his lips, chest and other areas in a seductive nature while performing one of his classic hits from the 90’s.

Kelly has been accused by different families that he is housing their daughters in Chicago and Atlanta, where he brainwashes them and “records” them in sexual encounters.

His ticket sales have suffered since the families came out to BuzzFeed with the allegations.

Concert dates in Dallas, New Orleans and Baton Rouge, La., were canceled due to low ticket sales — as fallout from the controversy.
