July 12, 2004 -- R. KELLY is so obsessed with Africa, he turned his music studio into a jungle. "I have never been to Africa, but I got books and studied up on the music, the culture and, most importantly, the people," Kelly told America Magazine. "That's why you see all of the shrubs and plants and trees in here. I just wanted to feel it. I put tents in the studio and slept in the tents for like a few months, eating off the floors, dressed in army fatigues. . . . I know people out there might laugh, but we are in the jungle." In an apparent Vietnam reference, he continues, "We're on a serious mission, and just know that Charlie is out there to stop us, and you have to load up your guns. I know this all sounds crazy."
