This one may be chalked up to over-creativity.
In an effort to promote his upcoming release Black Panties, R. Kelly has launched the “Black Panties Hotline.” Kelly recently made the announcement on his Facebook page:
It’s the official #BlackPanties droppin 2 week countdown! Hit up Kellz at the #BlackPanties Hotline to hear a brand new message from the man himself! Call 312-380-6596 now!
Some will say this is genius marketing. Others will say it’s a bit much. One thing is for sure: the “Pied Piper” of R&B certainly knows how to keep fans talking.
Black Panties is scheduled to hit shelves on December 10.
