Sometimes you find a joke that fits a news story so well that it doesn’t even matter that you’re a news organization – you HAVE TO go for it. This is what happened when news channel FOX13 Memphis published a story about R. Kelly.
1. It started with the news that singer R. Kelly is being evicted from homes he was renting in Atlanta because he hadn’t paid over $31,000 in rent.
2. Then they saw a joke and went for it.
3. Which inspired an actual remix.
Now he doesn’t have a kitchen.

4. FOX13 gladly keeps it going.
Nowhere to warm up his coffee.

5. They really started something.
6. And Twitter keeps it going.
7. Jess made one all on her own.
Now I’m not tryna be rude
But, hey, Kelly, you gots to move
31K is past due
Don’t care who ya are, that isn’t cool
Too late to start payin’ ya bill
