Video: R Kelly speaks for first time about his daughter coming out as transgender

R. Kelly rarely holds his tongue, but there's one thing he won't say and doesn't want anyone else to utter either.
"You don't really wanna open it up by saying my daughter is becoming my son," he said during a WCGI radio interview Monday.
The R&B singer's youngest child came out as transgender on Thursday via the social media site Ask.fm. Jay, 13, who was born Jaya, said that he has identified as a boy since the age of "6 or 7."
The 47-year-old singer, who divorced Andrea (Jay/Jaya's mom) in 2009 after nearly 13 years of marriage and three children, including eldest son Robert Jr. and daughter Joann, didn't seem to believe the reports to be true, despite the fact that his child confessed online.
"Don't even give the blogs that kind of credit," he said in the first discussion he's had about Jay when the interviewer informed him that she was quoting the reports currently circulating online.
"As far as that is concerned," he continued, "always believe what you see with your own eyes, that is. Always believe what you see. That is the best way to go about this business.
Jay said he's looking forward to undergoing gender realignment surgeries to make the full transition.
"I believe I am a boy and want surgery, and the medication to help me (be) who I was supposed to be," he wrote.
