R. Kelly has finally spoken out about his 14-year-old child Jaya announcing he is now transgender and has changed his name to Jay. The brave teen made the announcement on his social media two weeks ago and his singer father, who has been silent on the issue, finally addressed the revelation this week  saying: 'You don't really wanna open it up by saying that my daughter is becoming my son.' During an interview on a Chicago radio station the R&B singer seemed to imply that Jay’s coming out had been a falsely reported rumour – despite the fact he announced the news in a blog post via his Ask.FM account.
