[Avertissement : un sujet de cet épisode peut heurter la sensibilité de certain·e·s] Peut-on encore écouter R. Kelly en 2019 ? Accusé depuis plus de vingt ans de pédophilie, d’agressions sexuelles et de viol, Robert Sylvester Kelly n’a, à ce jour, jamais été condamné. La série-documentaire « Surviving R. Kelly » diffusée sur la chaîne américaine Lifetime pourrait changer les choses. La justice américaine se mobilise après la sortie des six épisodes début 2019. Le mouvement #MuteRKelly a appelé à « couper les ponts » avec le chanteur de RnB. La « cancel culture » - le fait de boycotter un·e artiste suite à un comportement jugé·e inacceptable - est-ce que ça marche ? En deuxième partie, François revient sur le clash entre Booba et Kaaris.
