Atlanta activists Oronike Odeleye and Kenyette Barnes want R. Kelly “out of our heads.” That’s how Odeleye put it in a recent phone conversation; she said their goal is to make the controversial singer a “nonentity,” to do away with the idea that he’s “someone we should be playing at barbecues and our family reunions.” They’re starting by trying to cancel Kelly’s upcoming Atlanta concert, planned for Aug. 25.
